Reasons and Challenges for the Regeneration of Abandoned Mountain Villages
摘要
The depopulation of mountain villages pertains to the decline in population experienced by rural communities situated in mountainous regions. This widespread trend carries significant implications for the affected areas, encompassing social, economic, and environmental factors. The regeneration of abandoned mountain villages is often initiated by a complex interplay of economic, social, and environmental rationales. The chapter focuses on understanding the unique characteristics of abandoned mountain villages through an examination of current policies for reviving mountain and inland areas. It highlights the importance of developing comprehensive and interdisciplinary approaches at different levels of operation, emphasizing the design process principles and methodological tools that arise from extensive research across various scales.
