Abstract
This study aimed to clarify the characteristics of regional resources related to traditional local industries and current status of the Regional Plan for the Protection and Utilization of Cultural Properties. A literature survey was conducted on groups of related cultural properties. Consequently, it was reconfirmed that traditional local industries are deeply related to local beliefs. As a project for the protection and utilization of undesignated cultural properties related to traditional local industries, it was confirmed that local governments plan to continue to conduct surveys to value undesignated cultural properties that are not included in the groups of related cultural properties. However, in some municipalities, it remains unclear which measures will be implemented for undesignated cultural properties. Furthermore, the study found that there are few project plans addressing issues related to the sustainability of traditional local industries, such as the preservation of industry-related land use, training of successors, and securing of raw materials.
