Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate a non-profit operation system for Co-housing development through an examination of the Cohousing Network (TCN) in North America. Since the idea of Danish cohousing was introduced to the U. S. in the late 1980s, the growth of cohousing developments based on residents' participation and grass-roots activities has been remarkable. TCN has been developed along with the growing number of cohousing communities and voluntary commitment of both professionals and others in cohousing activities. Functions of TCN include gathering information and human resources, providing information, providing opportunities for study and information exchange, and research and development. With these functions, TCN advances the awareness, understanding, appreciation, creation and sustenance of cohousing. A reliable network system, public relations with good examples, information disclosure and collaboration among members, and an efficient support system based on the need and autonomy of groups are important.
