Outline of Final Research Achievements	The purpose of this research is to clarify the daily life problems in the study area and to clarify the requirements for the connection between daily life problems and sports tourism project through the planning and practice of sports tourism. Although there is a track record of sports tourism in the area, there are problems such as the closure of campgrounds and the difficulty of managing ski area, and there is a lack of human resources for rebuilding. On the other hand, the practitioners of outdoor tourism are migrants from cities, and with the common theme of outdoor activities, efforts to solve daily life issues in collaboration with local residents have begun.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements	スポーツ社会学ではスポーツ・ツーリズムの地域社会への効果に焦点を当てる研究が多かったが、現実の地域にはスポーツ・ツーリズムを成立させる物的条件はあるものの、それを支える人的条件と組織化に問題があり、そこに焦点を当てる必要が明らかになった。スポーツ・ツーリズムを企画していく作業の中で、地域の少子高齢化に対して、単純に移住人口を増加させればいいのではなく、若い移住者と同世代の地元住民の経験と資質の共通項を通じて、新たな産業を形成する可能性が見えてきた。
