Research in National Land Development Policy in postwar Japan focusing on local politics and administration Professor

本研究旨在以地方政治与行政为中心，解释战后日本国土开发政策的多重特征及其变迁。它的目的是澄清国家土地发展部执行的协调职能的变化，以及有关国家土地开发政策的政府间关系的变化。为了完成本研究，我们主要收集了战后日本国土开发政策的相关资料，并对相关人士进行了访谈。并以80年代以来的北海道发展政策、90年代以来的冲绳促进与发展政策、战后的东北发展政策为例进行研究。总结我们的论点，主要有三点。首先，明确了国土开发的多重概念。第二，我们解释了区域发展部的规划和协调职能的作用和局限性。最后，明确了政府间关系的动态性和多元性。

Firstly, we clarified multiple concepts of national land development. Secondly, we explained the role and limitation of planning and coordination functions of the regional development ministries.
