This study aims to grasp the current status of efforts to solve social issues in traditional craft producing areas through a questionnaire survey targeting traditional craft producers in the 7 prefectures of Kyushu. Furthermore, by focusing on the basic attributes of the production area and the relationship with the business situation, and performing analyses using cross tabulations, the author extracts relationships that cannot be found from simple tabulations.
In particular, the author finds the association of businesses that are calling on employees to promote the active participation of women with positive factors such as "ordinary profits are flat or increasing." The analyses above lead to the suggestion that various efforts to solve social issues are effective for the issue of survival of traditional craft production areas.
It will be necessary to extract and examine the factors that will lead to the effectiveness of solving the problems of traditional craft production areas through surveys on actual efforts.
