Description

<p>Areas with large concentrations of small-scale manufacturing industries have experienced significant decline in recent years. This study analyzed the development and utilization of makerspaces (MS), which are expected to serve as places for industrial and regional revitalization, in 54 Japanese cities. MS are classified into three types based on the characteristics of their use: enterprise support type, information dissemination type, and complex type. From the analysis of MS case studies, it was found that activities unique to each area are conducted in MSs by utilizing manufactured goods, manufacturing technology, and the know-how of citizens from new perspectives. It was also found that "mediation of connections by facility operators," "space sharing with functions other than manufacturing," and "expansion of manufacturing activities" form the basis for MS operation.</p>
