The 4 types of projects are: 1 project to utilize intangible folk cultural assets, 6 projects to utilize tangible cultural assets (buildings) and historical buildings, 6 projects to utilize local cultural resources, and 17 projects to create local cultural attractions.
The projects selected included performances of traditional performing arts using tangible cultural properties, contemporary dance in parks, public events at houses with cultural properties, operetta performances in collaboration with local cultural facilities, and seaside exhibitions that contribute to off-season tourism. In addition, many projects were planned to lead to local revitalization and regional development through the participation of local residents and cooperation with companies. In the ongoing projects, there were a number of applications that addressed issues based on the results and incorporated new developments, indicating the desire of business operators to develop their projects. Although it was not adopted, we received several applications regarding the management of regional media. This field is expected to have potential as a medium for disseminating local attractions and promoting exchanges among residents, and it is hoped that applications will expand in the future.
