Many Asian countries have experienced rapid economic growth over the past few decades, and we are in a fast-moving society. As a result, well-balanced development between urban and rural areas is not achieved, that is, so many social, environmental, and economic issues can be found in these countries. Especially, rural areas are facing severe issues which can be obstacles to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) setting the goals by 2030.
This book consists of two parts. The first part is based on the online international symposium entitled “Asian Rural Future 2030” held on September 28, 2021, organized by the Association of Rural Planning (ARP), where four researchers from four Asian countries, which are Indonesia, South Korea, Philippines, and Vietnam, presented what is currently going on around/in the rural areas of these countries and consider actual actions needed by 2030. The second part is series of the research articles by researchers who have a close relationship with ARP and some of them presented their researches at the online international seminar held on February 27, 2021. These researches are treating social, environmental, and economic issues which rural areas are facing and the target study areas are Japan, China, Vietnam, and Myanmar. Treating domestic and international topics in rural areas, readers would be able to get extensive knowledge through this book.
