Description

The purpose of this study is to describe the duties of absentee heirs in the context of how issues that relate to farmland management, administrative management of communities, and landlord absenteeism in hilly and mountainous areas may be mitigated. Based on analyses of farmland conditions, interviews, and questionnaire surveys, we have found that absentee heirs have a strong intent to return to the communities of their birth. A number of absentee heirs intend to contribute to conserving their farmland through activities such as farm work, clean up, and regular purchases of agricultural produce. Moving forward, it will be necessary to maintain the relationship between absentee landlords and absentee heirs on the one hand, and community residents on the other. The authors believe that, by establishing a “sodateru-kai” for the general management of the community, as well as farmland management, comprehensive management can be effected in the region targeted in this study.
