1．Local Community-Building Diagnoses

DBJ carries out local community-building diagnoses to apply its expertise to the construction of regional societies. This process is conducted using data previously disclosed by the community-building diagnosis team and other sources to conduct analysis of accessible local communities. Based on this process, field data is supplemented by diagnoses through original analysis, with explanations provided for the results.
