| Research Abstract |
The subject of this research is to make clear the present structure and functions of rural communities (shuraku) in hilly and mountainous areas, the less favored areas in Japanese agriculture, and also the problems of the new policy applied to those areas. The conclusion is as follows.
1. In the hilly and mountainous areas, especially in and around the Western Japan there are brought about such problems as depopulated areas, ruined agricultural lands and difficulties in maintaining communities.
2. Marginal communities, whose community function have become too weak to hold even a community meeting, are coming up.
3. Looking back on the past policies for the hilly and mountainous areas, cares were not paid enough. But the reflection on these problems resulted in the establishment of the new basic law on food, agriculture and rural areas and there will be into effect in this chance the direct payments to hilly and mountainous areas.
4. Although we should estimate these policies as epoch making, there are also problems. So comprehensive measures, therefore, are required in particular for marginal communities of hilly and mountainous areas in addition to the direct payments.
