Activities of community development for tourism preceding placement of Tomioka Silk Mill by using text mining

Regional community development efforts for tourism, particularly those centered on the Tomioka Silk Mill before its UNESCO World Heritage Site designation, involved significant collaboration among multiple organizations. Text mining of local newspaper articles revealed that activities by groups like the Tomioka Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Tomioka Community Development Promotion Council were characterized by coordination and cooperation. These findings were validated through interviews with key stakeholders, highlighting the importance of multi-organizational efforts in preparing for and responding to heritage recognition.
