| Research Abstract |
Japan is facing a continuous and unprecedented depopulation combined with a rapidly aging population with a declining birthrate. Now, in many rural villages where there are concerns about the collapse of community, population outflows have almost been completed and only elderly people are left behind and living extensively in such villages. In this study, a way of reconstructing rural communities was considered by evaluating the richness of Social Capital (SC). Additionally, as a "mutual assistance" community arises from SC, which represents interaction and cooperation among residents, the way in which the formation of such a community supports residents' regional activities was discussed and the possibility of achieving the sustainable development in rural areas was evaluated.
