Evaluation of a Kleingarten in the Town of Suo-oshima, Yamaguchi Prefecture, in the Islands of Seto Inland Sea
In recent years in Japan, derelict land by aging farmers has increased at the same time as the desire of city dwellers for a more natural, leisurely lifestyle. In response, an increasing number of citizens farms (or allotment gardens) have opened in and around urban areas. Citizens farms with overnight accommodation are known as kleingartens. As a case study, we evaluated a kleingarten in the town of Suo-oshima by interviewing the resident caretaker and conducting a questionnaire survey of facility users. Our survey revealed a number of ways in which the facility could be improved to meet user needs. The case study also suggested that kleingartens are an effective means of revitalizing local communities in rural areas.
