Cet article présente un des effets du développement des TIC à Kamiyama, ville japonaise située dans une zone de montagne caractérisée par une population vieillissante. Elle se situe dans le district de Myōzai (préfecture de Tokushima). Le développement du haut débit a contribué à attirer des activités du secteur des TIC, créant des emplois et permettant à des jeunes actifs de s’installer dans cette localité périphérique. Plusieurs facteurs clés ont contribué au succès de Kamiyama, dont l’existence de l’institution locale « Green Valley. Mais, parmi les obstacles à la revitalisation de cette localité périphérique on compte l’insuffisance de locaux existant. |

This paper explains the satellite office project in Kamiyama Town, which is located in a peripheral mountain area with an aging population in the Myōzai District of Tokushima Prefecture. Kamiyama has leveraged broadband to attract ICT industry from urban areas, create employment and encourage young workers to move to the town. Several key factors contributed to success in Kamiyama, including the capabilities of innovator companies, the capacity of the local host organization ‘Green Valley’, the existence of a horizontal network among companies that have moved to the area, and convenient access to home offices and markets in Tokyo and Osaka. On the other hand, a limited supply of old houses suitable for use as satellite offices and the cost of transportation to major cities are both significant barriers to the revitalization of this peripheral mountain village. |
