Abstract
In the simultaneous progress of globalization and localization, the community is expected to be the main solution for many contemporary welfare problems. The idea of social governance in the community will be addressed in this paper, as a way to solve these welfare problems. The ideas and operations, financial resources procurement and public management, resident participations and collaboration of the community welfare will also be addressed. I discuss an example in Yamagata Prefecture in which the local revitalization program was implemented while the matter of equity and efficiency was considered.
