| Research Abstract |
Purpose of the study is to make clear the changing process of life style and concionsress of contemposaly rural Japan. Since later half of 1950s, life of rural Japanese changed fundamentally. These were rasions syteral causes of course, however intention and decision of people themselves were another important factors that oriented the direction of change. In the study, investigators made field researches at various types of settlements, such as farming, fishing, foresting and commerce ones. In spite of different characters and conditions of settlements, processes of change were rather common. That is, rate of highly educated people increased rapidly from later half of 1960s, and they left their original places to urban areas for jobs, and most of them didn't come back. De-population has become clear from the end of 1970s at every rural settlement and aging of population also proceeds. It is difficult to predict the future of these serial settlements, however it depend on the option of people who have left rural area.
