      abstract = {This book provides perspectives on depopulated areas and  regional social capital from positivistic field surveys.  Among the developed countries of the world, Japan has a  very small amount of national land, with almost 70% of it  being in mountainous locations. Concentration of  populations and economic capital into large metropolitan  areas along with many depopulated and population-aged  regions in the mountainous parts can be seen in the  country. A very clear regional disparity has arisen in  Japan, especially since the era of its high economic  growth. This book also offers critical suggestions for the  shrinking societies of the developed world in the era of  Society 5.0, the fifth stage of society where economic  development is achieved and social issues are resolved by  the fusion of cyber and physical space. To begin, the book  refers to an outline of depopulation and depopulated areas  in Japan. Then, it deals with issues of depopulation,  out-migration from a mountainous village, revitalization of  local industries, and maintenance of daily living functions  in these areas. This book is suitable for students and  scholars of the social sciences, regional planners, staffs  of government offices, members of NPOs, general citizens,  and the many other people who are interested in  sustainability of a region and a community in a shrinking  social environment.},
