Outline of Final Research Achievements

One of the main results of this study is to build a theory on the management of regional agricultural management by leading farms in a village where the function of regional agricultural organizations has declined and the number of non-farmers with pure land has increased.
First, the functional decline of the organization was summarised into (1) inefficiency related to the joint activity practice function, (2) inefficiency related to the information processing function, and (3) inefficiency related to the relationship adjustment function.
Next, it was clarified that the leading farms should take charge of the functions as not an individual economic entitiy but a members of the organization.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の主要な成果である、純土地持ち非農家が多数派化した集落における地域農業資源の管理の代替策の検討は、高い社会的意義を有する。具体的には、地域農業組織の機能の低下への対応策として、地域農業経営を内部化するリーディング経営による地域農業資源の管理のあり方を検討した。
