 note = {It has been approximately 20 years since community currencies began to be implemented in earnest in Japan. The number of community currencies, which was only a few in 1999, was approximately 650 as of December 2019, with 189 in actual operation. The number of operating currencies has been declining since around 2005, and there are very few community currencies that have fully functioned in the communities. Under such circumstances, the potential of community currency demonstrated by the "Ki no Eki" method that started in 2009 is noteworthy. In the Ki no Eki method, wood collected by thinning the forest is exchanged for community currency to circulate natural resources and promote regional development in mountainous areas. The community currency can be used in local private shops.
In this paper, we describe a questionnaire survey on the Ki no Eki method conducted by the authors in 2019, outline the results of the Ki no Eki Census, and consider the issues and future potential of this method. The most popular community currency system as of the end of 2019, Ki no Eki effectively facilitated social exchange by utilizing the natural resources of an abandoned area and building new human relationships. However, judging from its scale, it is still unknown whether the economic exchange offered by this method will be effective in revitalizing the regional economy.},
