本文主要為研究日本農村休閒遊憩區規劃之問題，首先就日本國內之休閒遊憩概 況做一概括性之分析， 並就政府之輔導，民間之配合及投資.... 等方面加以探討，另就休 閒遊憩之類型，資源利用之情況等加以調查研究。 並將日本與其他歐美各國之休閒遊憩做一比較，其結果顯示日本人之休閒遊憩時間仍有不足 ，休閒遊憩之據點太少，而休閒遊憩之費用則偏高。 就具體之事例觀察，日本之農村仍有甚多資源可以加以活用，以促進農村之繁榮。一般是利 用農業之生產環境及農產品等資源， 其他之人文資源如： 歷史文物、傳統技藝、民俗文化 ....等亦為良好之遊憩資源。 就整個而言，只要能好好善加利用農村之有效資源，對於振興農村仍可達到相當良好之效果 。
