Description

研究の概要(英文):Since the One Village One Product (OVOP) regional movement started in Oita prefecture in 1979, almost 40 years have passed. Many groups of farming women played a role in the movement, and while some saw success others did not. By interviewing four group leaders still active today, certain commonalities were discovered and changes that occurred to their environment through the movement became apparent. Prior to the movement these women were relegated to tending to the fields and their homes, and removed from any deeper connection with society. However, with the introduction of the OVOP movement by then Oita prefectural governor, Morihiko Hiramatsu, they were empowered to work beyond the family home. Hiramatsu did not enshrine this movement through law or administrative means, but left it to be voluntarily adopted by the rural women of Oita. Consequently, the groups that arose were strong and self reliant as they acted for themselves and did not rely on subsidies or handouts.
