This research paper analyzes how management systems implementing rural community support have evolved and considers important points and issues seen within these management systems. Then, the cities Fujiyoshida and Hitachiota are empirically studied as established cases for management systems toward rural community renewal cooperative group projects. The analysis results indicate the following critical points in implementation systems: (1) the distribution of activities often undertaken by individuals in central leadership positions to the central support structure; (2) performance evaluations of individuals playing central roles in the systems and allowing for continuous participation; and (3) the establishment of maintainable relationships with university faculty. The following issues were determined: (1) the placement of individuals in central roles of the program and their development is critical; (2) cooperation must be strengthened between local citizens and the organization; and (3) local rural community supporters’ career growth and continued supporter recruitment must be conducted.
