Abstract

<p>Within the process of town planning with civil participants, workshops are tacitly recognized as a legitimate arena for civil participation. Therefore, holding a workshop is likely to become a purpose in itself in the process, resulting in a tendency to create abstract visions vastly disparate from real life and jobs. Administrators and citizens readily accept the compromise of nominal participation, but a plan with true citizen involvement is necessary. To secure such plans, stakeholders must take the initiative to plan and have the power to implement the plans. Tomitaro Sueishi (1979) indicates the problem is that citizens are involved without understanding the role of their participation or what they can do for their society. The purpose of civil investigations consists of separating the entwining elements and discovering and specifying their core essence. The key to successful private-sector initiatives is effective measures for facilitating stakeholders sharing on-site experiences.</p><p>Now, I would like to propose a group participation model for citizens through physical activities, exploring how citizen group work can change the community. I would like to emphasize the importance of the process of experiencing group work through physical activities as a methodology for legitimate peripheral participation. The effect of a plan with citizen participation depends on how the database compilation of physical patterns, and new patterns based on the plan, are linked with each other, and how those patterns are acquired. If we interpret life-history or cultural knowledge accumulated in folklore and sociology as an aspect of physical patterns, doing so will contribute to compiling this database on group participation in group work through physical activities.</p><p>In implementing these measures, experts are required to perform the following three roles:</p><p>[1] Separating the many intertwined factors in the current system</p><p>[2] Formulationg terminology for expressing physical patterns</p><p>[3] Coordinating the stage-setting for creating new participation methods</p>
