Outline of Final Research Achievements

Regarding the recent situation of community development through tourism (CDTT), the connection between the study of CDTT and its actual practice is need to be considered to get the CDTT more effective and successive in community development. This research tried to (1) analyze education contents of learning materials about CDTT published by municipalities, (2) reveal editing and using process of the material published in Amakusa area in Kumamoto, and (3) clarified motivating factor which connects learner to CDTT practice from the former case of study program in Iwatsuki in Saitama prefecture. Through the consideration of these results above, a hypothetical “connecting process model” was attempted to establish, and sorted out into eight stages from study to practice of CDTT, including pre-study stage. The hypothetical model was applied to a case that tries to establish an eco-museum in Ishikari city in Hokkaido, and examined its empirical adequacy.
