Local airports have been developed with the expectation of functioning as regional transportation hubs. But they are required now to also play a role as regional revitalization hubs because of the frequent natural disasters and the arrival of an SDGs society.
In this paper, we investigated the following effectiveness for regional revitalization at Fukushima local airport area by urban beekeeping.
1) Regional revitalization by urban beekeeping, 2) Business education for
high school and university students through collaboration of high school and
university, 3) Social deployment of expertise for urban beekeeping, 4) Regional revitalization based on local airports, 5) Social deployment of new research funding methods.
1) Locally based urban beekeeping is effective for building industry-academia-government collaboration.
2) Collaboration of high school and university brought educational benefits through experimental learning on product development for high school and university students.
3) Regional revitalization by urban beekeeping achieved community-building effects such as joint Instagram management of multiple sectors.
