| Research Abstract |
In order to vitalize a city, it is necessary and important not only to provide various convenience facilities and improve social infrastructures, but also to create primary networks based on daily volunteer activities and to increase frequency and density of "communication and association" activities through this networks among residents in the city. The aim of this case study is to clarify how daily volunteer "communication and association" activities have contributed to residents' personal growth and well-being, community development and city vitalization in Kansai Science City.
Volunteer childcare group activity is relevant to young mothers' childcare needs resolution in the city. It has proved to be effective to diminish mother's childcare anxieties, and to contribute to child's growth and development. In the community, it has proved to deepen mutual understanding among mothers and to improve community welfare.
Group participations in old age have proved to contribute to the creation of "one's place", which supplements the diminishing private domain in one's life structure while involving one in situations that occur in neighboring networks and between couples. In the community, voluntary associations of old age have proved to improve community welfare and to deepen mutual understanding among generations.
