• This paper analyzes the significance of public works in rural areas in the Great Depression by examining work opportunities in village forests. Research to date on the significance of public works has been based on estimations and incomplete data, and has failed to examine public works project wage allocation in the context of village politics. This paper examines the case of Zakouji Village, Shimoina District, Nagano Prefecture, and clarifies the following three points. First, the village forests of the Shimoina District functioned as a safety net, and many unemployed villagers could earn some money by working in the forests. In Zakouji village, however, forestry resources were so exhausted that the village authorities decided to prohibit people from entering them. Second, those who lost the chance to work in the forest formed a movement against the village authorities. In public works from 1932 to 1934, those who participated in the movement had more chance of being employed. Third, as a result, the public works had a function to suppress social unrest in Zakouji Village, but the wages paid to workers in public works were very low. The destitute needed to enter the forest to survive and the village authorities had no choice but to permit them to do so, with the result that Zakouji village's forest was more and more devastated. While this paper concludes that public works were partly able to suppress social unrest, it is not adequate to evaluate the economic effect of public works overall.
