项目摘要

It is a recent phenomenon in Japanese rural area that the number of successor is getting fewer and farmers are getting older. As a result, the succession of farm business and the inheritance of farmland are one of the most important subjects in Japanese agriculture. Each rural area, however, has its own custom and social norms in term of succession and inheritance.The purpose of this study is to investigate the diversity in terms of patterns of succession and inheritance in deferent rural areas. For this purpose, we chose three typical places as objects of investigation : The first is Aomori prefecture where the first son is chosen as a successor and inherit the entire family asset ; The second is Nara prefecture where a successor is not limited the first son and also the practice of primogeniture is not demanded completely ; The third is Kagoshima prefecture where a practice of equal division between sons is common in terms of inheritance and the last son succeeds a farm business.The … More following are results of our investigation and analysis. The first is that a pattern of succession is in the trend of diversity because of diversifying farm types. While a family farming is still succeeded in the traditional kinship context, an incorporated farm business, like a non-farm business, is not limited among the kinship succession. The second is that inheritance of farmland is also characteristic of diversity in deferent rural areas. So far researchers have prospected that a practice of equal division among children would become more common in the inheritance practice of farmland, because the legal framework had enforced the equal division as a standard since the post war reform. However, as a farmland is the most important means of living for a farm household, it is still common that an almost farmland is inherited by one of the household members at the sacrifice of the right of siblings gone out the household. Social norms still have a strong influence in practice and a degree of urbanization in each area also brings diversity into the inheritance practice. Less

这是日本艰难地区最近的现象，即继任者的数量越来越少，农民正在变老。结果，农场的成功和农田的继承是日本农业中最重要的主题之一。但是，每个农村地区都有自己的成功和继承方面的习俗和社会规范。这项研究的目的是根据成功和继承的延迟农村地区的方式研究多样性。为此，我们选择三个典型的位置作为投资的对象：第一个是Aomori县，将第一儿子选择为继任者并继承整个家庭资产；第二个是奈良县，继任者不受第一个儿子的限制，也不完全要求长子的实践。第三个是kagoshima县，在继承方面，儿子之间平等分裂的做法很普遍，最后一个儿子成功了农业业务。……更多的是我们的投资和分析的结果。首先是成功模式是在多样化的农场类型的趋势上。尽管家庭农业在传统的亲属关系环境中仍然取得了成功，但在亲属关系中，一家合并的农场业务（如非农场业务）并不有限。第二个是农田的继承也是忠诚的农村地区多样性的特征。到目前为止，研究人员已经期望，在农田的继承实践中，儿童平等分裂的做法将变得更加普遍，因为自战后改革以来，法律框架已将平等分裂作为标准。但是，作为一个农田是农田最重要的生活方式，很常见的是，几乎一个农田是由一位家庭成员继承在兄弟姐妹牺牲的情况下，将其继承下来。社会规范在实践中仍然具有很强的影响力，并且每个领域的城市化程度也将多样性带入遗产实践中。较少的
