Outline of Final Research Achievements

We investigated the formation and expansion of cooperative behavior in community cafes by integrating a social survey and computer simulation. The interviews revealed that the support of community cafe operators contributed to the formation of cooperative behavior. The simulation results showed that continuous cooperation and the diffusion of users' reputations are factors that expand cooperative behavior throughout a local community. Based on these findings, we concluded that community cafes are not just a comfortable place, but also have a social function that generates cooperative behavior and social inclusion in the local community.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究の成果により,コミュニティカフェにおける利用者の協力行動の形成と拡大に寄与する要因を同定できたことから,利用者の協力行動に変化を与えるための具体的な設計と自律的に運営させることができるメカニズムを明らかにすることができた.これは,地域の居場所における協力行動の発生メカニズムの解明という学術的意義だけではく,高いコストをかけることなくコミュニティカフェを持続させるための方法論を提示するという社会的意義がある.本研究の成果は地域の居場所を運営している団体にとっても重要な知見となり,地域福祉やコミュニティの活性化という問題の解決に役立つと考えられる.
