RESEARCH ON EFFORTS TO MAINTAIN AND REVITALIZE LOCAL COMMUNITIES THROUGH ACCOMMODATION FACILITIES THAT MAKE USE OF EXISTING BUILDINGS

Depopulation of regions due to population decline has become an issue in many places, and activities to attract travelers to the region are being attempted in order to maintain logistics, human flow, economic scale, building use, and landscape. This report targets lodging facilities operated with these activities in mind, confirming the conditions set by the organizations and the actual conditions of cases that do not belong to the organizations, taking a “cross-sectional” view of these activities, organizing the historical background, institutions and frameworks related to the cases, and clarifying the full picture of the spread of diverse activities.
