| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is to elucidate the generation and development of collaboration in community-oriented workspaces, such as coworking spaces and fab labs, and to compare them internationally. Although COVID-19 forced a major change in the research plan, there are three main results based on qualitative and quantitative studies during the period. First, based on the quantitative research on almost all the spaces in Japan, we have identified factors that could contribute to collaboration in those spaces. Second, based on the qualitative research on the operators and users of the spaces in Japan, we clarified the actual situation of collaboration in those spaces and the detailed process of its generation and development. In addition, we proposed a methodology that contributes to a better understanding of the phenomenon of collaboration in those spaces.
