Regional revitalization and human resource development through industry-academia-government-community collaboration.
Life (Saitama University Research Seed Collection 2025-25 p.136)
Keywords: Regional revitalization, town development, population decline, human resource development, career, youth employment support.
To promote regional revitalization, it is essential to maximize the outcomes and social effects of exchange projects that facilitate human interaction between urban and rural areas, in addition to the community regeneration efforts that local governments and residents have been pursuing, such as green tourism, private lodging, rural study programs, migration and settlement, and the discovery and promotion of tourism resources. Through lectures and workshops, I have been planning and supporting town development as a "concrete initiative" that utilizes the uniqueness and characteristics of the region while engaging in direct conversations. While the situation of population decline is urgent, based on past activities, I consider it a first step to visit the local area and confront the "reality" of the region. I am engaged in planning regional revitalization that leverages the town's uniqueness and resources. Keeping in mind the effective use of resources such as "human resources," "networking capabilities," and "information and communication technology," which are strengths of the university, I hope to produce the revitalization and exchange of towns while linking university education with town development.
