There are two types of community-based farms (CBFs): one has been established to maintain farmland in rural areas suffering from the shortage of agricultural workers and the other has been established in response to policy. Although the purpose or activity differs by CBFs, the central government is encouraging the incorporation of the CBF. In this study, the author focuses on typological differences in the CBFs and empirically clarifies the factors influencing the establishment and incorporation of CBFs. The estimation results of the generalized ordered logit model suggest that the two types of CBFs tend to be established when communities are located in hilly and mountainous areas and CBF members regularly foster intercommunal cohesion. Conversely, CBFs are less likely to be established when there are many small-scale farm households in the community. Also, CBFs are unlikely to be incorporated when there are more farm households than non-farm households in the community.
