As Japan faces a depopulated society, it is important for local administrations to maintain their local population through public policy that supports economic activities and improves living conditions. Wake Town in Okayama Prefecture has already undertaken a variety of actions, supported by the human resources of the national government and private companies, to promote its livability. This article elucidates the reason behind Wake TownVs strong commitment to its education policy, which has resulted in, for example, the creation of a public cram school. This article focuses on three points: (1) the background of the education policy in Wake Town, (2) the management of the newly established public cram school, and (3) the evaluation of this school in the view of its students and their parents. Finally, the article argues that free public education is becoming increasingly important for community development in the global era ofthe 21st century.No potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported.岡山大学経済学会Acta Medica Okayama0386-30694832017オレゴン州ポートランドにおけるエコリバブルシティの形成 : 都市計画と参加民主主義の視点から3557ENYasushiIwabuchiAcademic and General Okayama University Regional Research AssociationSeltzerEthanToulan School of Urban Studies and Planning, Portland State UniversityTakehitoUjiharaGraduate School of Environmental and Life Science, Okayama University10.18926/OER/54901No potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported.岡山大学経済学会Acta Medica Okayama0386-30694732016多様性の中の参加民主主義 ―オレゴン州・ポートランド市における市民参加―209225ENYasushiIwabuchi10.18926/OER/54168No potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported.岡山大学経済学会Acta Medica Okayama0386-30694722016参加民主主義による公共空間の再生 −岡山市西川緑道公園のまちづくり史−161185ENYasushiIwabuchi10.18926/OER/54150No potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported.岡山大学経済学会Acta Medica Okayama0386-30694712015大学改革を通じた地域振興 ―フランスにおける「未来への投資計画」と大学まちづくりの展開―7179ENYasushiIwabuchi10.18926/OER/53552No potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported.
