Abstract
In October 2003, fish-processing complex, three research institutions (the Marine Research Institute Nagasaki University and the Seikai National Fisheries Research Institute, Fisheries Research Agency and the Nagasaki Prefectural Institute of Fisheries) and fishery production facilities were put together in the Nagasaki Fishing Port, each of which represents industry-academia-government.
In this paper, industry-academia-government collaboration effect is examined through measuringthe changes in the interrelations among the fisheries in New-Nagasaki Fishing Port, the distribution market and the processing industry as a result of the integration of industry-academia-government; Industry as fisheriesproduction base, Academia as the MRI, and Government as Seikai Institute and the Prefectural Research Center.
The strength of interrelations between each industry and research institutions is estimated through DEMATEL method, which not only evaluates the direct effect by questionnaire survey, but also derives indirect effect.
