Before developing policies to solve regional problems, two basic problems of contemporary society must be analyzed. First, although material wealth is affluent in our society, problems of crime, mental illness, and poverty are not solved. To solve this problem, an emphasis must be placed on the value of human soul. In addition, globalization based on neo-liberalism stimulates contradictions in modern economic systems, resulting in the increase of homelessness, unemployment, and excessive differences in pay. To solve these problems, cooperation must be emphasized as an essential element in modern economic systems in which competition is becoming more intense. Regional policies would probably be most effective if they divided the analysis at hand into three categories. They are value, management, and governance. The value analysis includes community values and try to develop regional indicators. The analysis of management would aim to develop programs for solving regional issues. The governance analysis would refer to participation and decision-making in communities. In the last section of the article, two examples illustrate the value and management analysis.
