　The purpose of this paper is to analyze systems of regional revitalization. Firstly, I discuss dynamism of revitalization in a shrinking society and argue that citizen sector, which has an interest in social problems, is more important as a community renovator than the govermment sector which is concerned with a wider area. Secondly, I suggest the ideal type of revitalization from area management point of view. I analyze comparative studies of dynamic revitalization including a rural area and urban cities (Echigo-Tsumari region in Niigata prefecture, Nagahama city in Shiga prefecture, Takamatsu city in Kagawa prefecture and Youngstown in Ohio U.S.A) as cases. Each of these cases encompasses a declining population. Finally I illustrate the sustainable system of revitalization where we separate the right of use from ownership and right of use is managed by a community renovator under this system.
