Abstract

This study, based on a case study on peripheral local governments, and examined the ideal state of community life support by shedding light on the formation and method of consultation and support systems. It also investigated new possibilities of support. The study included an observation of initiatives undertaken by two towns in Kumamoto Prefecture and Miyazaki Prefecture. The observation was conducted between August 2009 and June 2012. <br>  The survey results revealed the existence of complex problems with regard to community life and that the problems surface as monetary issues. Town hall workers were often the first to identify problems. First, in order to tackle multiple debt problems, the surveyed communities established independent support systems that share a common consumer administration perspective; they were working toward a cooperative, continuous sustainable life support system. Establishing cooperative support systems in difficult circumstances could be achieved through the construction of a cooperative system by the administration itself. To aid this task, external cooperation was strengthened. Moreover, it was found that project management is crucial to strengthen the administration’s support systems. The study results suggested that the development of sustainable community life support is possible if the abovementioned methods are followed.
