Regional Development based on Technological Innovation

这一题为“基于技术创新的区域发展”的项目是在日本鸟取大学和瑞典卡尔斯塔德大学建立的相互学术交流协议框架内进行的。研究项目的重点一直是中型区域的知识型发展。之所以选择这一主题，部分是因为鸟取和卡尔斯塔德都在这一地区组中；但主要是因为这一主题对日本和瑞典的国家、地区和地方领土的平衡发展至关重要。为这一项目安排了两个讲习班，以便深入交流科学思想和知识。讲习班的目的是汇集各种跨学科学科，如经济学、地理学、工程学等，以便提出一套科学观点，以促进对中等地区社会经济和技术变革的根本问题的了解，并将这一框架作为基础。第一期题为“C区基础设施”的讲习班由鸟取道大学工程学院区域问题研究小组于1989年10月5日至6日在鸟取市举办，随后举办了题为“中等城市的过去、现在和未来：中等城市在区域发展中的作用”的讲习班。后者由卡尔斯塔德大学区域研究股组织，于1991年6月13日至14日在卡尔斯塔德举行。在卡尔斯塔德研讨会上提交的论文参与了由Lennart Andersson和Thomas Blom编辑的会议记录，标题为“中等城市：研究更新”。这本书于1992年由卡尔斯塔德大学出版。第二个会议记录是在卡尔斯塔德会议记录的基础上出版的，总结了在本科学研究补助金下开展的研究。

This project entitled "Regional Development based on Technological Innovation" has been carried out within the framework of the mutual academic exchange agreement set up by Tottori University, Japan and the University of Karlstad, Sweden. The focus of the research project has been upon knowledge-based development of the medium-sized regions. This theme was chosen partly because both Tottori and Karlstad are included in this group of regions ; but, mainly because this theme is central and crucial for the balanced-development of national, regional and local territories both in Japan and Sweden. For this project, two workshops were arranged in order to intensively exchange scientific ideas and knowledge. The aim of the workshops was to assemble various interdisciplinary disciplines, such as economics, geography, engineering, etc., in order to propose a set of scientific perspectives to facilitate an understanding of the fundamental issues underlying socioeconomic and technological change in medium-sized regions and to apply this framework as a basis. The first workshop entitled "Infrastructure in C-Region" was organized by the regional issue research group of Faculty of Engineering, Tottori University and held in Tottori on October 5-6, 1989, which was followed by the workshop entitled "The Past, Present and Future of the Medium-sized City : The Role of the Medium-sized City in Regional Development". The latter was organized by the Regional Research Unit at the University of Karlstad and took place in Karlstad from June 13-14, 1991. The papers presented at the Karlstad workshop were involved in the Proceedings edited by Lennart Andersson and Thomas Blom with the title "The Medium-Sized City : Research for Renewal". It was published from the University of Karlstad in 1992. The second proceedings is published to follow up the Karlstad one by summarizing researches developed under this Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research.
