Outline of Final Research Achievements

We intended to to analysis how community activities centered on neighborhood associations and residents' associations in depopulating areas will progress by collecting quantitative and qualitative data, and make a theory while considering the that methodology. For to analysis quantitative data, qualitative data, and geographic information data, our research group was held to show examples of regional data analysis. However, although we had a plan to collect data, it was difficult to actually enter the village due to the Korona-ka, and it was difficult to collect data, and the analysis of the village activities was not completed.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

これまで、地域福祉などにおいては、どのような種類の地域にかかわらず、その共助によるガバナンスを促すとともに、公助による支援を行うことを指摘してきた。しかし、地域による差異、特に、公助、共助、自助のバランスが地域により異なり、すべての地域において共助のシステムが構築することが可能であるとは限らない。したがって、その公助、共助、自助の在り方と、コミュニティガバナンスの方向を考えるというところに、本研究の意義があると考える。
