| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research aims to study how Japanese religions function on the well-being of regional residents who suffer industry decline and depopulation, by social survey, holding international workshops, and publishing influential papers and the book, Shiawase no shukyogaku ( Religious Studies on Well-being) from Hozokan publishing.
Main finding is that although religious corporations such as a temple, shrine, and church declined due to aging of members and regional depopulation, some religions functioned to make social capital in regions by social actions which involved residents into religious events and members of religions into regional activities in reverse.
