    Nowadays, community-based organizations in rural areas are restructured to complement the weakened functionalities of communities. Such newly created organizations often undertake some projects purposes of which are to vitalize their own areas. It's important to share information and knowledge of the projects requiring citizen participation. In this study, we clarified the actual situation and problems of information sharing in rural areas by utilizing social network analysis. Through a questionnaire survey conducted at 3 districts in Kyoto prefecture, we made 2-mode graphs and analyzed network indicators obtained from the graphs. We found that information is mainly conveyed in person or through regional media and residents with information are located in advantageous positions in the regional social networks.

    The use of local produce in school lunches is encouraged despite supply limitations, especially in urban and suburban areas. We conducted a questionnaire-based survey of farms in Hino City, Tokyo, where the local government provides subsidies and an organized system for the use of local produce in school lunches. Most farm managers with large real estate income recognize school lunch as a social contribution activity, but they are not necessarily positive about continuing agriculture. Professional farms with less real estate income appreciate high prices with subsidies and are dissatisfied with small lot sizes. Therefore, school lunch procurement and subsidy allocations should be reconsidered to improve farm income and to guarantee local produce supply.
