This paper aims to clarify the role of non-economic organizations in the formation of regional cooperative management bodies and to clarify the mechanisms by which such bodies are created, in order to sustain regional cooperative management, from the standpoint of management function, cooperative function and regional public function. We studied a farmers’market in an urban area and a mountain area. Our main findings with regard to the formation of regional cooperative management bodies are as follows: (1) There are various non-economic organizations that solve regional problems. (2) There are regional organizations that unify the former organizations. (3) We re-realized importance of human resources development facilities like community centers.
