“…Ando ( 2020 ) suggests that future rural policies should support communities in declining collectivities and promote endogenous development. Shoyama et al ( 2021 ) showed that the factors of collective activities within and between communities are more significant than collaboration with outsiders in preventing abandoned farmland.…”

This study aimed to clarify relationships between regional factors and farmland utilization in the context of the current declining and aging population of Japan. We applied path analysis using prefectural data from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries to investigate the effective ways of farmland use through farmland utilization programs such as the Farmland Intermediary Management Program as mediating influences based on prefectural regional characteristics. The main findings were as follows. First, the accumulated subleasing area through farmland intermediary management institutions had a positive impact on farmlands accumulated by bearers, but no effect on the restraint of increases in dilapidated farmland areas. Second, the accumulated subleasing area through farmland intermediary management institutions was an intermediate variable of regional factors and farmer- and rural community-related farmland utilization programs and affected farmland transfer to the bearers. Moreover, this study offers a novel approach by quantitatively examining relationships between community-based farming and farmland intermediary management institutions. Our findings also revealed that the corporatization of community-based farming organizations has a significant positive effect on the accumulated subleasing areas through farmland intermediary management institutions. Therefore, we consider community-based farming corporation transfers and the reorganization of farmland through farmland intermediary management institutions as a way to effectively use farmland and realize endogenous development within the community.

In 2040, it will be an era where people can enjoy a fulfilling lifestyle in both rural and urban areas. At that time, if a "local decentralized scenario" can be selected, the sustainability of rural areas will increase. This scenario will be realized only when the social infrastructure technology can be scaled down, the SDGs philosophy is shared by the people, and the conditions for social transformation are complete. In a different form from updating old plans and systems, the process of realizing a decentralized scenario should be considered now in order to enhance the value of rural life.

Rural territories are a strategic resource of the Russian Federation. Their development is significantly influenced by the level and quality of life of the rural population. The low quality of life of the rural population, limited employment opportunities, low income levels, as well as poorly developed infrastructure lead to an outflow of labor to cities and the disappearance of entire settlements. Activating housing construction in rural areas will ensure their sustainable development. Government support measures in the field of rural development have an impact on improving the living conditions of the rural population. Preferential rural mortgages are the main mechanism stimulating supply and demand in the rural housing construction market. At the end of 2022 Volga Federal District took a leading position in the demand for preferential rural mortgages. The study was conducted to identify the most attractive and promising federal districts for the development of rural housing construction in the Russian Federation. The Southern, North Caucasian, Volga and Central regions are characterized by unique opportunities that make it possible, through the development of housing construction, to indirectly develop agriculture as a whole. Less attractive for the development of rural housing construction are the Northwestern, Ural, Siberian and Far Eastern federal districts. The results of the authors' research will be useful to various authorities to improve methods for stimulating housing construction in rural areas.
