Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is to propose the reorganization of supply chain in the commercial aircraft industry which shift the location to non-metropolitan regions. Prior to World War II, many aircraft companies agglomerated in the Chubu, Kansai, and Tokyo metropolitan areas of Japan. However, Japanese aircraft companies and suppliers in these three metropolitan areas have begun to disperse into non-metropolitan areas. As location in the commercial aircraft industry depends on the production system, some prime manufacturers in the commercial aircraft industry, such as Boeing, have changed their way of ordering, in particular, with the production of the B787. The aircraft industry has many factories in these three metropolitan regions of Japan. However some local municipalities have sought to attract aircraft suppliers. As a result, aircraft companies have been able to use products from the integrated manufacturing systems

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は、雑誌論文(査読付)3本、学会発表6回、図書(共著)1冊の成果を得た。 従来、経済地理学では集積論の理論的解明や個別産業の集積について研究蓄積がなされてきた。その中で航空機産業の研究は15年ほどなされておらず、先行研究は大企業である大手航空機メーカーの研究であった。その意味で、本研究が航空機産業のサプライチェーン全体から産業集積を把握し、さらに中小企業の立地や再編まで踏み込んで研究成果を残せたことは、若干ながら経済地理学研究の新たな蓄積となったものと考えられる。 また図書を刊行したことで、航空機産業に関心を持つ市民にも情報提供をすることができ、一定の社会的貢献を行ったものと考えられる。
