Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The increasing number of vacant houses in rural areas requires appropriate management. Owners of vacant properties must be suitably connected with immigrant residents. This study elucidates the situation in the Irokawa area of Nachikatsuura Town, Wakayama Prefecture, as an advanced case of immigrant integration. The results revealed the following: 1) 47 cases of resident change occurred in the Ono and Kuchiirokawa districts. 2) Out of 71 resident changes in these districts, 44 were realized through the efforts of local community leaders. In other regions, the local communities must promote policies supporting outreach to vacant property owners.
