Title
Building the Virtual Community to Support Interregional Exchange Between Rural and Urban
Abstract
The rural area faces to collapse the social infrastructure, such as a medical treatment and education, due to depopulation, which is as serious a problem as ever. We can see many interregional exchange programs between rural and urban as one of the popular solutions for depopulation all over the country. Thus our goal is to seek for the best method by ICT to support the exchange programs. We built a virtual community by XOOPS and tried to store a variety of opinions and information in virtual community from rural and urban so as to find the best solutions for depopulation. XOOPS is very useful and is low cost to build a website. We discussed the effect of virtual community. As a result, we concluded that the virtual community on the Internet would be an effective tool for exchanges.
