Theoretical and Empirical study on the Transformation of Japanese Rural Society and the View of Agriculture

一开始我们改变了部分研究日程，因为经费减少了，项目期限也缩短了。在第一年的初步研究中，我们选择了两个主要的研究领域。我们致力于调查兵库州滩坝地区的本土发展。首先，我们关注的是政府政策催生的乡村振兴运动。我们澄清了中央政策和地方接受政策之间的差距，并澄清了共同森林管理与社区管理改善家园运动的关系。我们发现了糠醛振兴活动形成过程的特点。对群体文化活动和乡村旅游也进行了重点报道。另一个研究区域是以爱知县为主的八城流域。环保运动将越来越多地涉及农村地区。这条河是著名的环境运动的发源地之一。描述、分析和评价了避免污染环境运动的历史及其政治关系。

We changed a part of research schedule at the beginning because the grant was reduced and the term of project was also shortened. The two principal research areas was selected in the preliminary research of the first year.We devoted to investigate the indigenous development in Tanba region, Hyogo Prefecture. First, we focused on the Rural Revitalization Movement that generated from the government policy. We clarified the gap between the central policy and a local acceptance of it, and clarified the relationship of a management of common forest and a home living improvement movement for community managements. We found the characteristics of the formation process of fural revitalization activities. Group cultural activities and the rural tourism were also focused and reported.The other research area is the basin of Yahagi river mainly in Aichi Prefecture. The environmental movement will increasingly involve rural areas. This river is one of the places where famous environmental movement took place.
