In 1997, ten years have elapsed since the Comprehensive Resort Area Development Act was enacted in 1987. From the view point of resort development, the past ten years is devided into 3 terms; a term of planning, planning-in-action, modification of policy. The act has some problems as follows, dependence on assumption of too short period to materialize plans, too much dependence on private sectors, and supporting plans for accommodations and residences, which are one of the basic items of resort area, were not enough. And also saying, it was the very fact that the know-hows and human-resources relating on resorts were absolutely want. We have to analyze and transmit to the future what we did in the past ten years for resort area development, not to repeat the same kinds of mistakes.

This study aimed to analysis stakeholders associated with rural tourism development by a social network analysis. The study sites and stakeholders were selected through three preliminary studies in Japan. The questionnaire for the survey asked the subjects for demographic background, socioeconomic background and social relation characteristics that included six different social networks (work-interaction network, work-information-seeking network, work-decision making network, work-help network, personal-friends network, and personal help).
The results from the social network analysis of respondents showed a significant correlation among the six different social networks. The highest correlation was between the work-information-seeking network and work-decision making network whereas the lowest was between the work-decision making and personal help networks. The reason the correlation between personal networks and work related networks was relatively lower than the correlation between work related networks appears to stem from the Japanese culture. In general, Japanese people do not ask for help from people other than their family members. In this regard, it can be said that their personal relations and work relations rarely overlap. Comparison between the responses of Shikaoi-cho respondents with Shintoku-cho respondents showed very interesting findings. Although there was no significant difference in the perceived successfulness of their rural tourism business, the density of each network among Shikaoi-cho respondents was constantly higher than the density of each network among Shintoku-cho respondents. In other words, the network structure of the rural tourism stockholders in Shikaoi-cho was much denser and more sociable/inclusive than that of Shintoku-cho respondents. Thus, the two communities where rural tourism was perceived successful presented different structural attributes in their social networks. Comparison of the demographic and socioeconomic attributes of Shikaoi-cho respondents and Shintoku-cho respondents showed the six attributes were significantly different. The respondents in Shikaoi-cho showed a higher density in each network, had fewer immigrants, longer length of stay in the community, higher income, higher ratio of income from rural tourism to the gross income, shorter period for running rural tourism business, and stronger motivation for “diversifying income sources” than the respondents in Shintoku-cho.
In future studies, it is necessary to first compare a community where rural tourism has succeeded with a community where it has not succeeded. Second, it is useful to conduct studies with international comparisons, Last, researchers need to explore the occurrence of a variety of network structural characteristics in stakeholders of different rural areas despite a similar extent of perceived success in rural tourism development.

本研究は、訪日パッケージツアーの旅程における地方部での観光活動の特徴を明らかにすることを目的として、台湾と香港で販売されている訪日パッケージツアーのうち特定の観光活動を主目的としたテーマ旅行（主題旅遊）の旅程を分析した。その結果、地方部では三大都市圏に比べ、テーマ型観光活動の種類が多様であること、テーマ型観光活動は、「見学型」と「体験型」に分類されること、テーマ型観光活動別の実施場所（地域ブロック単位）等が明らかになった。以上の結果を踏まえ、地方部における観光活動の現状と課題等について考察した。
