Abstract
The situation of the internal migrationto rural areas has greatly changed in several years. There was the change of the measure of the government regional revigoration, too, and the number of young migration applicants in particular increased; half of the consultation cases for migration are from 20-30 year-old groups. In addition, dual habitation needs gradually decreases, and a person for the domiciliation to the district is most. The number of migration applicants increased, and short supply in housing occurred, especially in lease properties. To meet such housing needs, several local municipalities have launched vacant house banks, but the search for vacant house is still difficult. When promoting migration to rural areas, the shortage in housing is crucial issue. Communitybased approach to empty property owners is required as well as administration-based approach. In addition to existing local communities, new types of community such as NPO community would take its leading part for the issue.
