Description

This study compares the differences between operational challenges and implementation of multi-generational exchange in community cafes (Chiiki no Cha no Ma) in Niigata City, Japan, based on their period of operation. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed to representatives of community cafes, and 303 valid responses were analyzed. Responses were divided into two groups: those operating less than three years and those operating over three years. Fisher’s exact test was used to analyze the presence or absence of multigenerational exchange. In terms of operational challenges, the group with less than three years of establishment reported lack of operational know-how, and the group with three years or more reported challenges in successor training. Analysis from open-ended questions showed that aging, less participation, less awareness of participants, and lack of operational know-how represented operational challenges in both groups. There was no difference in implementation of multigenerational exchange between the two groups. Positiveness for implementation and difficulty getting started were reported in both groups. Also, effects of exchange and difficulty in continuing were reported in the over-three-years group.
