Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The concept of "mobilize" was used to identify factors common to the management systems in several different local resource management cases. The analysis empirically showed that both the role of the government and the market, which should be fulfilled, have been weakened, and that the dependence of local resource management on governing mainly by communities is a challenge for governance. The study then showed the direction required for the governance, particularly the usefulness of incorporating pro-sumer's activities into the conservation of stocked natural resources. Through this study, we were able to view insufficient management of local resources from the perspective of governance, identify the factors that give rise to a complex set of issues, and indicate the challenges and realistic solutions.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究による成果は,まず,1990年以降,体系的かつ実証的な研究が立ち遅れていたといわざるを得ない地域資源管理論分野において,横断的な管理事例に関する調査に基づき,主に経済学および社会学における新たな方法論および知見の援用を通じて,地域資源管理論の刷新を試みた点で学術的意義は大きい。また,実証に基づき理論化を試みており,地域資源の管理不全という社会課題に対して,国内のみならず,同様に今後人口減少を迎える諸外国での知見の援用を企図しているため,社会的意義もまた大きいと考えている。
