This study provides a rigorous evaluation by synthesizing (1) a 567-pattern exhaustive Cost-Benefit Analysis (CBA) fixed to the 2050 <a href="https://resas.go.jp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RESAS</a> demographic horizon; (2) a management accounting deconstruction of the "structural deficit model"; and (3) primary field audits of geographic redundancy. The analysis reveals that the working-age population in Miyagi has been in continuous decline since 2005, making large-scale fixed-cost investments statistically irrational. Furthermore, empirical evidence from on-site surveys confirms that existing infrastructure within a 5-minute radius, such as <a href="https://www.bureau.tohoku.ac.jp/hagihall/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tohoku University’s Hagi Hall</a>, is bypassed even by its own resident organizations, undermining the project's justification. This paper concludes that the current plan represents a catastrophic social loss that prioritizes symbolic "hard" infrastructure over essential "soft" cultural capital and future fiscal stability.</span></p> |
