Soft infrastructure refers to all the institutions which are required to maintain the economic, health, and cultural and social standards of a country, such as the financial system, the education system, the health care system, the system of government, and law enforcement, as well as emergency services.〔http://www.opendb.net/element/19099.php〕〔http://129.3.20.41/eps/urb/papers/0506/0506002.pdf〕〔http://www.cato.org/pubs/journal/cj11n2/cj11n2-4.pdf〕 Soft infrastructure includes both physical assets such as highly specialised buildings and equipment, as well as non-physical assets such as the body of rules and regulations governing the various systems, the financing of these systems, as well as the systems and organisations by which highly skilled and specialised professionals are trained, advance in their careers by acquiring experience, and are disciplined if required by professional associations (professional training, accreditation and discipline). Unlike hard infrastructure, the essence of soft infrastructure is the delivery of specialised services to people. Unlike much of the service sector of the economy, the delivery of those services depend on highly developed systems and large specialised facilities, fleets of specialised vehicles or institutions that share many of the characteristics of hard infrastructure. Information infrastructure is a basic soft infrastructure, drawing upon Communications infrastructure, especially the Internet and Telecommunication, and supporting the subsequent soft infrastructures. == Governance infrastructure == *The system of government and law enforcement, including the political, legislative, law enforcement, justice and penal systems, as well as specialised facilities (government offices, courthouses, prisons, etc.), and specialised systems for collecting, storing and disseminating data, laws and regulation, such as civil registration, business and company registries, land registration, and maintenance of other government databases. *Emergency services, such as police, fire protection, and ambulances, including specialised vehicles, buildings, communications and dispatching systems *Military infrastructure, including military bases, arms depots, training facilities, command centres, communication facilities, major weapons systems, fortifications, specialised arms manufacturing, strategic reserves 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Soft infrastructure」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
