The Effective Use of Social Capital for the Declining-population Society

摘要：

Japan has become a declining-population society. It causes closing of more than 450 schools annually. More than 30 ％ of closed schools in Japan are not fully utilized at present. The closed schools should be utilized as the social capital and used for not only public use but also business use for the regional revitalization. Especially, in the hilly and mountainous area, effective measures for closed schools is required to cope with the declining birthrate and aging population, increase employment, promote agriculture, and contribute to the regional market. For the promotion of the business, local governments and the non-governmental business operators should cooperate together to expedite the business use for the closed schools proactively.
