Kunisaki City, located in the northeastern part of Oita Prefecture, occupies almost the eastern half of the scenic Kunisaki Peninsula, is known as the “Buddha Village Kunisaki” as a place where the Rokugo-Manzan culture, which is a syncretism of Shintoism and Buddhism, developed since ancient times. Four towns in
Higashi-Kunisaki County merged and implemented municipal
administration. In addition, in terms of transportation, the Suonada Ferry, which is the gateway to the sea, operates from Taketatsu Port in the north, which connects to Honshu (Yamaguchi Prefecture), and Oita Airport is being developed as the gateway to the air. However, due to its remote location from metropolitan areas and the effects of the declining birthrate and aging population, the population at the time of the merger was 34,252, but as of the end of August this year, 17 years after the merger, the population had significantly decreased to 25,848. , the problem of lack of local leaders and maintenance of villages has become prominent.
Background to becoming an organizational development advisor Kunisaki City is facing a serious situation with a shortage of local and professional personnel and a shortage of doctors due to the aging and declining population. Although the city has formulated plans such as the “Comprehensive Strategy for Revitalizing Towns, People, and Jobs,” and is working to resolve issues, it has not been able to formulate effective policies for the following three reasons. Because staff are not familiar with policy methods such as PDCA and EBPM (evidence-based effective planning), and the purpose and logic are not clear, there are cases where policies are not truly effective. Even as administrative needs such as social security increase due to the aging and declining population, the maintenance and management of roads, river embankments, ports, airports, schools, hospitals, housing, sewage systems, etc. will continue, so it is important to consider strategic policies. We have not been able to develop the appropriate human resources.
Due to the long history of vertically divided organizations, there is a lack of speed in cross-sectional policy planning and implementation. Since the enactment of the Omnibus Decentralization Act in 2000, local governments have been responsible for general administration and local policy in addition to affairs for the welfare of residents, such as welfare, education, disaster prevention, and road and water supply management. There is a need for the government to play a role as a “policy entity” that must resolve issues. However, establishing a new organization or increasing the number of people is not easy. Therefore, we will utilize Nakashima’s knowledge and past experience in regional revitalization to organize our organization and foster employee awareness in line with the times to come.
Comments from Atsushi Nakashima (Atsushi Nakashima)
When it comes to regional revitalization, it is important that the government and local residents share the same goal. I will do my best to assist you in dealing with real organizational issues, and I would like to work with you to revitalize Kunisaki City.
Personally, I like temples, shrines, and castles, and I have traveled around Kunisaki City by rental car.
I am happy to be involved in the birthplace of Shinto and Buddhist syncretism. [Image 3
