Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

歴史的資源を生かしたまちづくりは、観光活用・循環型社会の観点からも地域への経済効果が高く、今後、さらなる展開とノウハウの蓄積が望まれる。こうした状況下においては、伝統的建造物群保存地区の制度をはじめとして、地域の状況に応じた多様な保全・活用施策の展開が望まれる。登録文化財制度は、より多くの歴史的資源に対して価値評価を行い、地域での保全・活用を可能にする施策として有用な手段の一つであることから、当該施策の運用実態を解明することで、より多様な保存施策の可能性を示すことできると考える。
