日本的“田园回归”现象与农村社区振兴

Abstract:This report introduces the basic concept of “return to rural living”（or “den’en kaiki” in the original Japanese）phenomenon in Japan and the underlying discussions in policy studies，and summarizes the history of population movement from cities to rural areas in Japan and the realities behind so-called “UIJ turns” which collectively mean U-turn，I-turn and J-turn. In addition，the report utilizes various surveys to analyze changes in awareness over “return to rural living” and the relationship between “return to rural living” and rural development. It is true that some underpopulated areas have succeeded in stopping the depopulation trend thanks to the migrators，who also contribute to maintaining the local social functions and promoting the local community. In the future，it is expected，among the people who “return to rural living”，the percentage of “related population” who is defined as people linking to local areas and their concerns while exchanging with local people will increase and the role of such people will be more important. In China，the similar conditions as in Japan are expected，so the population mobility from cities to rural areas will increase. How to utilize such a trend for rural development will be a focal point to both Japan and China.
