 note = {Land improvement projects are implemented with government subsidies. Among the reasons for this are the externalities of the economic effects of such projects and the fact that these projects have the aspect of public goods. Moreover, land improvements have a feature of the non-exclusive goods, which makes these projects difficult to implement with market-based transactions alone. At the same time, Japanese people's demands for the functions provided by agriculture and rural communities are changing in the past few years. Regarding the effects of land improvements, multiple functions are also being sought. Furthermore, the aging of existing land improvement facilities, co-mingling of non-farming households in rural areas, and the diminishing ability of farming households to maintain and manage land improvement facilities due to sluggish regional agriculture are now considered new challenges. Thus, encouraging the participation of community residents, including members of non-farming households, has become important in the planning and implementation of projects. However, reaching a consensus among diverse stakeholders is not expected to be easy. This study attempts to reveal the formation of perception structure among farm households about land improvement projects. It also draws policy implications for an effective rural planning.近年、農村の混住化などに伴い、土地改良事業の効果については、農業生産以外の国土保全・防災・親水環境の改善などの多面的機能の発揮が要求されるようになってきている。また、事業の策定・実施や維持管理については、土地改良施設の老朽化や農家の維持管理能力の低下が重要な課題とされている。そのため、非農家を含めた地域住民の参加の促進が土地改良事業の計画・実施において必要とされており、事業をめぐるステークホルダーの多様化が生じてきている。ところで、土地改良における地域住民間の合意形成は、農家と非農家間だけの問題ではない。事業主体である農家間においても、意識や利害の相違がみられる場合には、合意形成が困難になると予想される。そこで、本稿では、土地改良事業に対する農家の意識構造を明らかにし、実効性のある計画策定・実施のための政策的含意を提示することを試みる。},
