Rural Innovation Theory and Supporters for Rural Regeneration

Tokumi Odagiri · 2013 · JOURNAL OF RURAL PLANNING ASSOCIATION

Summary. This paper examines how endogenous development theory applies to rural regeneration in Japan. The author argues that while endogenous development theory has been influential in rural studies, it needs updating to reflect current conditions. Rural innovation theory promotes exchange between urban and rural areas, and the paper notes that young urban people increasingly move to rural areas to support regeneration. The author concludes that endogenous development approaches must collaborate with outside actors, including urban youth, to succeed.
