In later eras, the concepts of "resort" and "green tourism" were introduced, and interchange has been stated in various terms. This paper aims to review the meanings and issues of urban-rural interchange through the discourses analysis in the technical magazine. The results show that interchange has spread throughout the country in the late 70's and the late 90's. The positioning of the economic effects has declined with the times, and in recent years it is oriented toward sustainable development through cooperation of urban and rural residents. Also, as securing leaders has become an issue in rural communities, a new organizational structure is needed.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE TRANSITION OF TOURISM IMAGE AND ACTIVITY, AND ACCOMMODATIONS IN AMAMI OSHIMA, KIYOSE Shotaro;SOSHIRODA Akira;TSUTSUMI Takashi, Journal of Architecture and Planning (Transactions of AIJ), 86, 784, 1704, 1714, 30 Jun. 2021, Architectural Institute of Japan,
Amami Oshima Island, Kagoshima Prefecture, is expected to develop new types of tourism in the future because of increasing momentum toward its selection as a natural UNESCO World Heritage site and the introduction of low-cost carrier (LCC) flights to its airport. Accordingly, a further increase in the number of tourists and the expansion of its customer base are forecast. This study considers the transition of the relationship between tourism and accommodations in Amami to form a basis for establishing sustainable tourism in the future.
First, we divided the research periods into four categories in terms of the transition to the types of tourism in Amami, and then clarified the characteristics of each and named them as follows:
Period of Southern Island Tourism (Period I: 1970–1984): Amami was expected to function as a marine recreation base, and it conveyed the image of being the “Southern Island” prior to the recognition of its unique culture.
Period of Envisaging a Tropical Resort (Period II: 1985–1994): Despite the image of having a tropical culture, Amami leadership were aware of the resort development happening in Okinawa and therefore focused on golf courses and resort development.
Period of Diversification in Tourism (Period III: 1995–2010): Against a background the diversification of consumer needs, there was a successive promotion of experience-based tourism utilizing resources such as forests, culture, marine leisure, and the improvement of tourism facilities.
Period of Promotion for Inscription on the Natural World Heritage Site List (Period IV: 2011–2018): The leadership of Amami wanted their island to become a natural World Heritage site and a unique tourist destination. Therefore, they expanded the island’s customer segments and tourist areas through the introduction of LCC flights.
It can also be said that this change might be taken as a multilayered approach regarding the image and the activity of the island’s tourism offerings or as a diversification of the style of the stay.
Next, the following content regarding the transition of accommodations in Amami were clarified, focusing on the number, type, and location.
(1) The change in the number of accommodations has certain characteristics in each area.
(2) Focusing on the types of accommodations, the ratio of “guesthouses and resort inns” accounted for more than 50% of the total from around 2000.
(3) Regarding the location of the accommodations, from 1970 to 2000, the number of accommodations decreased; they had been concentrated in central cities such as Naze and Koniya. After 2000, guesthouses and resort inns began to appear in northern Tatsugo, Uke Island, and Yoro Island.
(4) Among the recent accommodations, the small-sized ones account for about 80% of the total. We have noted some unique facilities, such as those offering tourists a simulated experience of living on the island.
As mentioned above, this research concerned the introduction of diversified tourism activities, such as nature experiences, cultural experiences, and the expansion of the area where the accommodations locate by considering the relationship between the tourism trends and accommodations in Amami from 1970 to 2018.

A STUDY ON POSITION AND ROLL OF LOCAL HERITAGE SYSTEM IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT THROUGH TOURISM (PART 1): BACKGROUND AND DEEPENING PROCESS OF AMAMI HERITAGE, TSUTSUMI Takashi;SOSHIRODA Akira, Journal of Architecture and Planning (Transactions of AIJ), 86, 787, 2292, 2303, 30 Sep. 2021, Architectural Institute of Japan,
　The final objective of this study is to examine the relationship between the local heritage system and other policies in community development through tourism. As the first part of study, this paper focuses on Amami heritage and its prerequisites, backgrounds and activities that have been developed and deepened in Amami City, and tries to reveal (1) the characteristics of Amami heritage as a local heritage system, (2) efforts made prior to structuring the Amami heritage system to value and utilize local resources, and the link to the Amami heritage system, (3) the steps taken to deepen the Amami heritage after the system was structured. Through them, this paper aims to summarize the perspectives of the following paper that will examines how the Amami heritage was utilized and developed in community development through tourism, how it corresponded with other policies such as the activity for registration as a World Natural Heritage site, and its significance.
　The field of this study is Amami Gunto Archipelago, especially focuses on Amami city. We conducted document research such as local government’s policy report, pamphlet, local newspaper, and so on, and interview survey on the local government office. The results are as follows.
(1) The Amami heritage was structured as part of the Basic Scheme for Historic and Cultural Properties (BSHCP) and was divided into two stages: "municipal heritage" and "Amami heritage". In the former case, both "subjective value" and "objective value" were used as criteria. The characteristics of Amami heritages as regional heritage are that they are to be collected in a wide and diverse range of frontage and to select as Amami heritages those that represent the archipelago and have academic value. This could made it possible to focus on declining local resources without being bound by preconceived notions and makes it easier to recognize them as targets for conservation and utilization. On the other hand, it can be also considered that the project has been able to appeal to people outside of the region and prioritize the order of conservation.
(2) Since 1980s, the concept of an eco-museum was introduced into the region, and policies and plans such as the Amami Gunto Natural Symbiosis Plan and the Amami Eco-museum Project had been implemented. In the process, researching the local resources was called "island treasure hunting" and the natural resources were evaluated from the both sides of "academic value" and "social value", which is common to the Amami heritage. However, it seems not to be possible to complete selecting regional resources as the "100 Amami treasures", suggesting that this may have been a task of the era of Amami heritage.
(3) Following the policy of conservation and utilization of Amami heritage showed in the BSHCP, the Amami heritage system has been deepened through studies, lectures and producing media. Efforts have also been made to expand the system to the whole Amami archipelago and to disseminate and promote Amami heritage in other fields of regional activities. In particular, the research and valorization of local resources that were not completed in the model project have been carried out as part of social education, school education, and tourism policy by local residents, and experts have supported these efforts to date. Through these efforts, some cases of urban development for tourism have begun to emerge.

Utilization of Tourism in the City Central Vitalization Plan of Local City, Kobayashi Yoshiki;Soshiroda Akira;Tsutsumi Takashi, Journal of the City Planning Institute of Japan, 54, 3, 1028, 1034, 25 Oct. 2019, The City Planning Institute of Japan,
In recent years, although the number of cities that attracts tourists has increased in the center of local city, it is considered that projects in accordance with the conditions of the respective tourism resources have not been developed. So, this research aims to obtain suggestions on city central activation of local city which utilized tourism for 144 plans of 98 cities in "Local Small and Medium sized City". In the central city area of local cities, several cities have succeeded in increasing the number of tourists by developing projects depending on the situation of tourism resources. However, it is difficult to stably increase in the number of tourists by constructing new facilities or holding events. Thus, it can be said that deploying the projects through networking and utilizing tourism resources concerning local history and culture should be important.

15K01952, The effects of relationship between overseas tourists and locals at historic districts on overseas tourists' understanding of historic destinations, This study aims to elucidate states of mind that non-Japanese tourists and locals may have about each other in commercial spaces. Four steps of research on the presence of Japanese and Westerners on Japanese viewers’ evaluations of Japanese-style historic districts, laborers’ emotions towards Japanese and Chinese visitors in shopping districts, Japanese and non-Japanese visitors’ evaluations of historic houses renovated into shops, and tourists’ and tourism practitioners’ evaluations of shops, were conducted. The results did not imply negative effects particular to Westerners and pointed to non-Japanese visitors’ tendency to positively evaluate local architectural styles and the positive effects of shop keepers’ friendliness on visitors’ purchase intention. These highlight the efficacy of strategies to enhance overseas visitors’ awareness of the locality and local hospitality in inducing their favorable impression of the visited commercial spaces at tourism destinations.

12650612, An Analysis of "Village" and "Rural Planning" Education as the Area Study in the Elementary School in the Rural Area, For the civil participation to the regional promotion in the rural villages, this paper aims to clarify how they teach "village" to the pupils in Niigata prefecture, and how they educate them for "rural planning" as a method for resolving the problems and attaining an ideal. After revealing them, this elucidates how they conduct the "rural planning education" in the environmental education and the integrating studies. For these analyzes, social sub textbooks of 71 villages in Niigata and a questionnaire are utilized.;The conclusions are mainly as follows.;(1) The educational contents of social sub-textbooks are classified into 13 items. Among them, "geography ＆ natural environment" and "regional culture ＆ history" are taught in the almost all of the sub-textbook. This says that they teach "village" through the nature, agriculture, and traditional culture, which are familiar theme for the pupils.;(2) In the description about "rural planning", the ideals are explained paradigmatically and abstractly. On the other hand, the problems are taught objectively and concretely. About the planning as a method for resolving the problems and attaining an ideal, the development type is double of the preservation type, and it has a tendency to explain that the rural planning is to develop the life environment of the region.;(3) There is a similarity between the contents of "rural planning" education and the environmental education and the integrating studies in the point of to recognize the natural environment, but the combination of them is not taken into consideration. On the step of the 3rd and 4th grade of the elementary school, the concept of planning is hardly introduced into the area studies. To know the characteristics of the village and to preserve it is put emphasis in the social studies of the elementary school.

JP18K11838, Systematization of method for organizing value of local heritage based on subjective and exploratory value and for making it tourism attraction, This study systematized methods for organizing the value of regional heritage and making it a tourist attraction, focusing on "subjective and exploratory value," and analyzed the relationship between regional heritage as a tourist attraction and community development. The systematization was divided into the following six stages: (1) discovery and investigation, (2) evaluation and recognition, (3) preservation and revitalization, (4) succession, (5) utilization, and (6) monitoring. Based on the case studies, it was found that tourism promotion is connected to the "establishment system," that the evolvement of local heritage resources, information, media, and human resources makes tourism more attractive, and that the results of tourism promotion, such as human resources, resource information, media, funds, space, and tourism data, are returned and reinvested into the local heritage, thus creating a cycle, and these consist of the "regional heritage development system" as a whole.

2023, 人々が普段生活したり、旅行で訪れる魅力的な国や都市は、個々人の自由な振る舞いだけでその姿に至ったわけではなく、多くの場合、何らかの「計画」の介入のもとで形作られている。そのため、地域づくりに携わる者には、その地域がどのように計画されて形成しているのかを読み解く力や、課題の解決や潜在的な魅力の発掘のためにどのような計画技術が適用し得るのかを構想する力が求められる。その初歩として、本講義では、国土や都市空間をコントロールする技術としての国土計画・都市計画の考え方を受講生が理解することを目的とする。|授業の前半では、都市とは何か、を考えた上で、わが国の都市は、日本古来の都市づくりによる空間をベースに、海外において誕生した近代都市計画技術を取り入れ適用することで、現在の様態になったことから、わが国の都市計画が現在の制度に至るまでの都市計画史を概説する。|中盤では、現在のわが国の都市計画制度について、土地利用、都市施設等の観点から概説し、人口減少問題、地球環境問題など２１世紀の諸課題を念頭に置きつつ、これからの都市計画のあり方について考察し議論する。|後半では、主にわが国の国土計画・国土政策を取り上げ、時々の社会経済状況に対応した計画内容とその変遷、空間のスケールと性格に応じた計画内容とその変遷を概説した上で、これからの時代に適応する国土の利用と形成、保全のあり方について、都市と地方の関係にも着目しながら考察し議論する。|また、国土計画や都市計画は観光とどのように関係づけられるのかも理解する。|
