Japanese Journal of Agricultural Economics (formerly Japanese Journal of Rural Economics), 2022, vol. 24

Abstract: This paper aims to pursue a desirable, feasible future image of the depopulated rural areas in Japan in a Post Covid-19 Era and the way in which both policymakers and laypersons can share that image. First, I confirm the fact that the vitality of rural areas would be supported by those concerned with rural areas by reanalyzing the census of Agriculture and Forestry and the governmental online survey. Secondly, on the basis of the fact that those concerned expect such a “place,” I try to outline two issues on place-building in reference to my action research since 2012.
