本研究课题提出了通过观光事业的发展来振兴人口稀少地区的系统分析方法。本研究由以下几个部分组成。(i)To本文认为，旅游业的发展应建立一套系统的概念来分析“社区振兴"的机制：（2）短期内应建立一种观光型的经营管理模式;（3）长期内应建立另一种观光型的经营管理模式;及（iv）将模型应用于San-整个研究表明，所提出的方法很好地服务于预期的分析目的，并有很大的空间，进一步应用到其他领域。

This research project proposes a systems-analysis methodology of the vitalization of sparsely populated areas through sightseeing business development. The research composes of the following research components.(i)To develop a set of systematic concepts to analyze the mechanism of "community vitalization;"(ii)To construct a business-administration model of sightseeingbased development on a short-term basis;(iii)To construct another business-administration model of sightseeing development on a long-term basis; and(iv)To apply the models to real-world cases in sparsely populated areas in the San-in Region of Japan.The entire research has shown that the proposed methodology serves very well the intended analytical purposes and that there is much room for further applications to other areas.
