Revitalization of rural communities has been addressed since the 1970s alongside the rapid economic expansion and changing social structure in mountain villages. This has two dimensions : environmental considerations and regional industrial development. The hollowing out of industry in recent years has affected mountain villages, so restructuring the economy has become an acute issue. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss the revitalization of rural communities from the perspective of regional industries. This paper aims to clarify the potential of revitalization of a mountain community by way of the regional industry. The study area, M school district, was located in Noto, Ishikawa Prefecture. There has been an active movement to revitalize the district since 1996. The characteristics of the revitalization have transformed with the development of the project in the community. The project started utilizing and visualizing local resources in the community, and also sought a way to establish the regional industry. Local resources played a vital role in the regional industry, so discovering more of these is an important challenge for the growth of local industry in the future. Further, this paper examines the social context in which there appeared leaders for the vitalization between generations and within generations, who were upwardly mobile. The results show the following two points. First, a life course analysis among the participants clarified that the leaders were mostly aged 60, self-employed and had achieved upward mobility in their respective occupations during the period of high economic growth. Second, a hierarchical analysis revealed that revitalization of the community in the study area had developed based on their social strata during the prewar period.
