| Research Abstract |
This study focuses on the path to reconstruction of community farming and rural resources conservation systems in hilly and mountainous areas in Japan. In the study I tried to analyze the following : firstly how to operate Japan's direct payment to farmers in hilly and mountainous areas' to achieve maximum results, secondly how to construct proper partnership system among local governments, farmers, various non-profit organizations and local agricultural cooperatives in such areas for new rural management replacing monopoly of supplying quasi-public goods, thirdly possibility and perspective of social enterprises in such areas, fourthly examining implication off EU Less-Favored Areas policy measures for Japan's policy making. As for first and second issues I investigated into the actual conditions of public farming corporations established mainly local authorities in Niigata, Toyama and Gifu prefectures and as for third Miyama Town in Kyoto was selected. As for forth issue, the practical conditions of LEADER program in Wels and Scotland were selected as the field research. These results led to the conclusion that new rural management entities ; like Local Action Groups in LEADER program, composed of multi-sectors should be constructed in Japan's rural areas especially hilly and mountainous areas which are suffering badly from depopulation.
