Research on the Actual Conditions of Community Development Policies that Utilize the Characteristics of Ceramic Industrial Areas

Through a Questionnaire Survey of Local Authorities

Abstract

This study clarifies the actual conditions and challenges of policies, plans, projects, and leadership development for municipalities in ceramic industry regions to realize community development that makes the most of their characteristics. As a result, we found that many municipalities recognize the ceramics industry as an important resource for local community development, but have not been able to effectively utilize it. In addition, many municipalities have not succeeded in passing on the industry to new generations, and many municipalities recognized the ceramic industry as the centerpiece of their regional development and tourism policies.
