given the chance.
However, currently, ONLY 4.8% of them are invloved incommunity development.
Now community is suffering from many challenges.
Thinking about what has led to such situation, JCI NAGOYA
facilitate POSITIVE CHANGE by implementing a program forcitizens to take interest in local charm and challenges, thinkthemselves and act on their own initiative for the community.

Our program is designed using relatively easy approach, wherePOSIIVE CHANGE of citizens takes place easily.
Furthermore, as our program can be implemented at any given
time, even with a small number of participants, it can bediffused without difficulty.
Thus, the citizens who changed positively can act forcommunity development in a positive manner.

概要：The approach we employed was CYCLING.
1. Bicycles are familiar transportation device in Japan
regardless of age.
Therefore, cycling event can attract wider generations andmany participants were expected.
2. Several communities were selected so that participants caneasily understand their charm and challenges.
And these communities were appointed as stop-off pointsof the cycling course.
Participants formed a TEAM and went for a bike ride.
3. Participants learned about the charm and challenges of acommunity at the stop-off point from the intellectuals.
An opportunity was provided for each team to discuss how
to transmit such charm of a communityand how to solve community challenges.

4. Participants followed the cycling route in a community
where community development is being carried out by citizens.
Then later, they took another course in a community wheresuch development is NOT yet implemented.
So that THEY CAN EXPERIENCE, COMPARE and FEEL
the difference between two types of communities.

This process gives participants MOTIVATION TO HAVEINTEREST in community development and to ACT.

5, Participants created the local charm map, thereby think
about how community development should be.
By distributing the map to citizens, the image of local charm
was shared and transmitted.
6. An opportunity for POSITEVE CHANGE was provided bygiving a place of presentation/demonstration to the participants.
A. Participants in the cycling event discussed aboutcommunity development within a team.
B. Summarizing what was discussed, a written statement wasdrawn up and submitted to the local administration.
This statement was posted in the dedicated website or theofficial publication, providing an opportunity to inform citizens.
7. JCI Nagoya collaborated with the local administration andcitizens’ organizations.

Our program was an enterprise that got the big result as anenterprise of JCI Nagoya.
Because as a result of our program, 60% or more of citizens
were actively concerned with community development.
We researched preliminary the demand of the citizens; theywanted to have the opportunity and to learn the method ofcommunity development.
Citizens desired to increase their companion.
Moreover, Nagoya city office would like to reflect civic voice inadministration.
We built the enterprise in order to fulfill these needs.

考察や推奨[The point of a success]- The familiar technique of cycling made the fence toparticipation low regardless of age.
- The participants could see easily the example of a success ofcommunity development- And they could understand easily the means of community
development.
- We collaborated with two or more community development
related organizations,so there is our network that participants of our program could
take action easily after our program.
- JCI Nagoya cosponsors with Nagoya city office.
Nagoya city office appreciates our activity, and close
relationship was established between JCI Nagoya and Nagoya
city office.
So, this relationship helps a lot our future activity.

[Unexpected result]
1.The citizens who had been positively changed thanks to theJCI Nagoya’s past project worked together as volunteers.
They facilitated positive change by talking their own activities
and experience with the participants.
2. The project was highly appreciated by the citizens and thenumber of participants in the following events increased.
[Problem to be solved]
The event took place, using public roads and considerable
budget allotment was required for ensuring security.
The police did not give permission to the event using
volunteer security guards.
Therefore, when planning the project in the future, thesercurity should be organized so that the police’s permission
can be obtained.
[Key point of future program]
Key point 1: Accessibility
Cycling is an approach that anyone can easily take part inwhenever they want.
Depending on the program content, it is possible to change
citizens who are not interested in community development in apositive manner.
Key point 2: Provision of opportunities to get involved in thelocal administration.
The number of participants increased because the event wasco-hosted by the local administration.
There is hardly any opportunity to communicate with the local
administration in daily life.
However, if citizen’s view are reflected and some results are
attained, motivation for the citizen’s community development
movement will be strengthened.
