Abstract

This research aims to clarify the requirements of rural inhabitants in hilly and mountainous areas for newcomers from city areas. The result of the questionnaire survey conducted to the whole population of the K district in Iga-city, Mie prefecture is as follows. 1) Elderly inhabitants showed a tendency to hope for newcomers, or in-migrants, to be more beneficial to them such as living long term, constructing or buying houses, and acting as a leader of the area. 2) “Adapting to the area" which had been indicated from previous researches as a key requirement for successful migration had two aspects:obtaining membership (being a member of the rural community) and assimilation (assimilating into the daily life of rural inhabitants), and those who stayed in the district longer (e. g. people engaged in agriculture and forestry or self-employed) are likely to place more importance on the latter. 3) Inhabitants who were involved in agriculture (e. g. farmers) were more likely to expect the in-migrants to farm, but those uninvolved in agriculture (e. g. households that had consigned their farmland) had little interest in whether or not the in-migrants would farm.
