考察や推奨

1. When implementing group discussion as in this case, it is easy for thecitizens to positively change because specific images and strong impacts
can be given to the citizens if a test session is held in advance and theverification result is introduced.
2. By coordinateing with administrative agencies and external groups
with the identical purpose, it can be easily found out whichorganizations/groups to work with if the citizens want to initiate theiractivity after the project.
3. A larger impact can be given to the society by reporting the project bymeans of mass media, SNS and blogs of intellectuals.
Therefore, it is essential to invite journalists and intellectuals to theproject so that they can transmit their experience.

[Unexpected Result]
1. Step 2 project was evaluated as siginificant by the intellectuals andmass media reporters who became involved.
The details of the activity were introduced widely, giving a large impact
to the society.
2. Immediately after the project, a town assembly member who

[Contributing factors]

having discussion in a group of men and women of all ages.
