Abstract

Rural areas are facing serious problems of aging and depopulation, and universities are expected to play an active role in supporting and activating these areas. This study explores the roles and achievements of four university satellites in rural areas. By conducting interviews on (1) the process of their foundations, (2) their activities, (3) their management systems, (4) their achievements and challenges, and (5) the roles of their resident officers, the reliability, interactivity, and ripple effects of the satellites are analyzed. To enable and maintain regional partnerships, support systems from local governments, network platforms, local organizations, and universities are needed. In rural areas, university satellites provide reliability through resident officers, interactivity through educational projects, and ripple effects through lifelong education, all of which are directly related to regional needs.
