地域農業振興計画の策定と農業情報システム : 農協を計画策定主体とする場合を中心に

Abstract

In recent years of Japan, the necessity for planning of regional agricultural development has been increased, also, there have been increased interests in and the necessity for establishing the regional agricultural information system with the use of computers. The main purpose of this paper is to examine the basic issues regarding as how to establish the regional agricultural development plan with the use of computers, especially its data base, in the case of agricultural cooperative as a planning entity. In order to establish the data base, we should take into account the characteristics of agricultural cooperative and the content of the regional agricultural development plan itself. Until now, there has been almost no regional agricultural development plan attempted by agricultural cooperatives with the use of computers to create data base. However, it is possible to establish the system, by utilizing various information such as information about cooperatives budgets and its memberships, other data sources made by federation of cooperatives, and statistical information provided by the central and regional governments.
