Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の学術的意義は、住民の生涯学習・社会参加の基盤となり、地域の社会関係資本の蓄積を促す行政組織・民間団体の連携・協働の集積をプラットフォームとして実態的に捉え、その形成過程を示せる、理論的な志向性にある。
研究の社会的意義は、事例研究や介入研究を通じ、国内各地のコミュニティの特性に応じた、プラットフォーム形成の手法を提案する、自治体政策への応用可能性の高さである。本研究により、生涯学習・社会教育を通じてコミュニティを活性化するための、行政組織の再編や官民連携の適切な進め方や具体的な手法が明らかにされる。このことで、各自治体で組織再編や官民連携の動きを効果的・効率的に進めることができる。
