Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research is to clarify the role of the key person on the side of the local residents in the community development of community coexistence between the local residents and the apartment residents.
As a research result, in the analysis of activity development, we modeled the activity stages of community coexistence. Activities were unstable in the early days when a local consensus had not yet been formed. On the other hand, activities and relationships between old and new residents stabilized during the practical and maturity stages after consensus building on local rules. However, in the role analysis of the key person, it was not related to the stabilization/instability of the activity itself. The relationship between community development leaders and upper-level group leaders became unstable when they were in conflict over common orientations, common attributes, and common experiences.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究成果の学術的・社会的意義は、主に下記の３点となる。第一に流動的で捉えにくいまちづくりの活動段階を可視化した点である。第二に、初動期の活動の不安定状況から、実践期・成熟期の安定状況に至るキーパーソンの役割として、地域ビジョンや組織化等のコーディネートの重要性を立証した点である。第３に活動コーディネートにおけるリーダーの貢献とは別次元のまちづくりの担い手継続の課題として、リーダーと上部組織のリーダー間の関係性は、志向的親和性、属性的親和性、経験的親和性のズレにより不安定化する点を事例より立証した点である。
