Description

Remote Islands Development Act is a prototype of the framework of Regional Development policy in Japan. The characteristic point is an exceptionally high percentage of government-sponsored subsidy rate for infrastructure development in specific area, and an effort to ensure the total amount of the budget for that area, as well. After World War II, the need for redevelopment of the remaining territory caused an attention to the remote islands from the central government. At the same time, spreading of an idea of the national minimum rights, in this case, the idea that the inconvenience derived from an isolation as the geographical disadvantage should be overcome, encouraged an enactment. The budget has been increased and the request for development extended from infrastructure to medical care , education, local culture promotion and so on. A new concept is needed in the field of infrastructure development policy.
