Laboratory of Regional Revitalization System Design

As regional populations continue to decline, become less dense, and shrink, many regions are still operating regional structures and systems that were built and optimized during the era of population growth, high density, and growth. However, although we are trying to make the most of it through various ingenuity and efforts, there are of course limits.
The Regional Revitalization System Design Laboratory conducts research on regional structures and systems that are adapted to the situation of population decline, low density, and degeneration.
Specifically, in areas such as population maintenance in small-population, low-density, and declining population areas, lifeline/infrastructure development, industrial promotion, regional human resource development, and regional management,
・What are the regional structures, systems, and mechanisms in place to increase sustainability?
・How do we implement regional structures, systems, and mechanisms in society to increase sustainability?
We are conducting research on.
