The reconstruction of local communities, including how to deal with problems of depopulation, has always been a major political issue in Japan. In order to tackle this issue, the government embarked on a “regional revitalization” project. The “Grand Design of National Spatial Development towards 2050,” the core of Japan’s national planning efforts, and the cultural strategy “Plan for the Revival of an Energetic Japan through Culture and Art” make it necessary to “foster an attachment toward the local community and make the best of the lifestyle and culture of the community, which are supported by tradition and creativity.” Amid globalization in various areas and for regional revitalization and reconstruction, regional cultural activities can improve the creativity and energy of local communities and such regional cultural activities can become the source of regional revitalization. I have studied folk cultural properties that have taken root in local communities almost every year since 2010, and previously discussed the situations of their conservation and extinction. During this process, I examined spontaneous development, in which folk cultural assets lead to regional identity and industrial and cultural resources unique to each region lead to citizen-driven development of local communities. This research is an extension of these surveys, and involves a nationwide sampling survey of high quality amateur and professional activities that have been subsidized by the Agency for Cultural Affairs and arts/culture development funds, carried out in 2014. The 190 amateur activities and 216 professional activities were compared in relation to migration and financial situations of local governments. As a result, I revealed that local governments that face depopulation or financial difficulties promote cultural activities more avidly. In 23 prefectures, which account for two thirds of the prefectures with a population of approximately 3 million, local cultural activities were initiated by the prefectural government. However, the national government’s new subsidy through the “Communities, Sages & Jobs” policy, started from fiscal year 2016 to revitalize local communities, is expected to be ill-fitting for the actual conditions of the communities and not become a subsidy for cultural activities, because subsidies are small and include evaluation taxes that are unsuitable for cultural activities.JEL Classification:H54, R51, R53, Z11

グローバル化が進んでいく中, 地域活性化のため, 従来のような産業立地のみならず地域の文化活動が, 地域の創造活力を高め, これら地域の文化活動こそが, 地域の活性化の源となると言われ初めている. そこで, 地域の文化活動を調査しそれが地域活性化につながっているか検証を行った. 経済的な波及効果では, 初期投資に比べ約倍程度の効果が見られる反面, 活2.5性化の中心となる創造的な職種の集積は欧米ほど見られなかった.

学術研究の総合的推進のための重要な柱の1つである若手研究者の養成に関しては平成8年7月の科学技術基本計画における「ポストドクター等一万人支援計画」の閣議決定以降、着実に各省庁で施策の充実が図られており、平成11年度には1万人に達した。このため、この計画による若手研究者の養成の実績やその後の活動状況を検証し、大学院の拡充計画をも視野に入れた今後の長期的展望に立った量的・質的側面の両面を考慮した新たな若手研究者の育成・確保の在り方について研究を行った。本年度においては、昨年度に引き続き、以下の項目について調査・分析を行った。1)日本学術振興会特別研究員制度等の実態と効果に関する調査・分析2)将来の研究者需要に関する調査・分析3)全国の大学研究者に対するポスドクの研究評価及びポスドクの研究環境に関する調査・分析より具体的には、1)については対象者数5,500余社の特別研究員に対し、現在の研究環境を始め、当該人の処遇や勤務先・職場・キャリアパスについてはアンケート調査を行った結果をもとに、その更なる分析を行った結果現在の研究者としてのキャリアパスに少なからず特別研究員の経歴が役立っていることが知れた。一方、2)については、博士課程修了者等を雇用することが予想される企業に2,500余社に対しアンケート調査を行った結果を元にその更なる分析を行った。その結果、以前行った調査(「大学院の量的整備に関する調査研究」1,998)において予想された研究者需給見込みを大幅に変更する必要はなく、その後の経済状況を勘案しても一部に需給バランスが崩れることがあるもののおおよそ釣り合っていることが知れた。また、3)については、今年度初めて調査を行い、大学研究者から5,000名を抽出し、ポスドクへの評価やポスドクを巡る研究環境を聞いた結果、研究環境はかなり恵まれているものの、本人が評価している程には、指導研究者のポスドクへの評価は高くなかったが、概ね、助手クラスの研究活動の同等との評価が大勢であった。
