Abstract
This study focuses on the function and problem of the workshop that utilize regional resources to promote regional development in depopulational society. In this paper, workshop is based on 3 different meanings; a place to recognize regional resources, a chance to promote a participation to the regional development, and a foundation to communicate with people from other regions. As a result, it becomes clear that: (1) Recently, the effects of workshop show the trend of 'utilizing regional resources and communicating with other regions' or 'communicating with other generation and encouraging regional people.' (2) From the classification of these directions, we separate 4 types of depopulational societies, that are 'Life encouraging type', 'Successor cultivating type', 'Industry promoting type' and 'Communication with other regions type'. Further more 'Utilizing regional resources' is essential position in each type. (3) For advanced ages, the workshop is a place to succeed their nature of life and culture, and to communicate with other regions and generation. So the workshop is expected for them to encourage and support their lives.
