Comparative Study on the Restructuring and Regional Roles of Supporting Systems for Manufacturing Industries and Enterprises in Industrial Agglomeration Areas

本研究的目的是为了使岩手县的花卷市、北上市和山形县的米泽市的产业集聚重新焕发活力，弄清产业和企业的支援体系的重组和演变。本文首先分析了支持系统形成、演化和运行的偶然性，其次分析了支持系统与城市外部企业网络的关系。(1)学习型区域的组织是产业和企业支撑体系重构的一个重要概念。(2)构成学习区的网络都具有企业外网络的共同特征。(3)网络与支助措施之间的关系必须建立多层次和多方面的框架。(4)这些网络和支持措施需要区域外网络之间更广泛的合作，以便紧密地结合在一起。(5)网络和支持措施的形成和演变反映了当地的情况，包括当地的独特性和偶然性。

The purpose of this study is to make clear the restructuring and evolution of supporting system for industries and enterprises in order to revitalize the industrial agglomeration in Hanamaki and Kitakami Cities in Iwate Prefecture and Yonezawa City in Yamagata Prefecture. We focus first on the contingency of the formation, evolution and operation of supporting systems, second on the relation between supporting system and the extra-firm networks in the Cities.The stores of knowledge verified by this study are as follows.(1) The organizing of learning region is a key concept in the restructuring of supporting systems for industries and enterprises.(2) The networks constituting learning region have to shear one feature as the extra-firms networks in common.(3) It is important for the relationships between networks and supporting measures to build multi-tiered and multifaceted frameworks.(4) The networks and supporting measures need broader cooperation between extra-regional networks in order to cling tightly together.(5) The formations and evolutions of networks and supporting measures reflect the local contexts including local uniqueness and contingency.
