Abstract (in English)

This paper discusses a sustainable management of a place by regenerating the spirit, integrating new uses and generating new social value. Catholic churches in remote areas in Japan are discussed mainly in the paper. A case study in the urban setting is also described as one of the worthwhile example to refer to.
