 note = {This paper is the outcome of a survey about the everyday life situation for residents in depopulating communities located in the northern part of Suzu city in Ishikawa prefecture. The findings of the survey are summarized in the following points: 1. In comparison to surveys conducted in 1989 and 1999, the increased number of elderly people and the effect of depopulation has led to the creation of so-called `marginal villages` (or communities). A higher number of elderly single-person households have also resulted in a greater demand and necessity for caretaking and assistance. On the other hand, the survey discovered a number of cases where elderly people benefitted from their children returning from urban centers to live with them. There were also cases where adult children benefitted from inheriting a family business. 2. In terms of the population of the surveyed areas, the advanced age of farmers and fishermen, and the reduction in the population size was evident in general. While the conversion to self-consumption centered agriculture is proceeding, the areas of abandoned farmland have increased due to a lack of manpower. In terms of the fishermen, smaller fishermen tend to go fishing to collect shellfish and seaweed. In some cases, fishing catches are processed into dried fish. As such, the use of satoyama/satoumi for subsistence purposes as well as profits from the sale of related products has been a necessary condition for the maintenance of community life in this area. 3. In terms of local communities, the survey recognized the importance, and pluralistic role, of neighborhood associations and a variety of other organizations that are present throughout the community. These groups` activities are carried out by a certain number of people in each community. The leaders of the neighborhood associations in particular have become key persons in understanding and appreciating the various activities and needs within their communities.4. It was also found that access to essential facilities and resources outside the community is problematic. Prominent examples include securing transportation for shopping and for going to hospital. A reliance on private cars has increased since previous surveys. This suggests that the need for public transport is very significant, due to the fact that elderly people find it difficult to drive.},
