Research Abstract |
In this research, cooperative relationship has been developed with Dr. Alan Mace of London School of Economics, and collaborative research trips to UK and Japan were conducted from 2012 to 13. Domestic research was conducted by another team to clarify which areas had most been affected by decreasing population. The outcomes have been presented at domestic and international academic opportunities including AESOP Congress in 2013. Through these researches, we first found that social issues associated with shrinking such as poverty had occurred in particular communities, not in whole metropolis. We discussed effectiveness of community-based business approach to deal with those issues, rather than governmental top-down approach. In conclusion,we would say we need to consider introducing new planning paradigm to link these small community-based challenges.
