Future of Community Association
Create organizations that residents will want to joinMembership has been declining in community associations, which has played a core role in local
communities, and there is a shortage of people to serve as executives of these groups. It is important to change
the organizations so that residents can see the merits of joining.
A community association is a voluntary association for people living in the same area that promotes
friendship and information sharing. Members can join or leave without any restrictions. These associations
are not a system established by law, unlike the prewar and wartime “chonaikai” that were organizations
subordinate to municipalities.
There are about 300,000 community associations nationwide, but the overall participation rate in fiscal
2020 was 72%, down six percentage points from 10 years ago. In some municipalities in urban areas, the−5−

participation rate was around 50%.
The decline in participation rate is said to have resulted in greying executive members who have beenin their positions for a long time. In some cases, operations have stagnated, including the distribution ofadministrative public relations brochures for municipalities, the collection of membership fees and fundraising activities.
Local governments are increasingly concerned about the situation. According to a survey by the Internal
Affairs and Communications Ministry last year on all municipalities nationwide, 64% said they were making
efforts to reduce the burden on community association.
Specific measures included securing places for community associations to conduct their activities andintegrating the sections of local governments that deal with issues related to community associations.
However, community associations’ executive members feel burdened by such tasks as distributing
administrative public relations brochures for municipalities and recommending candidates for local social
welfare commissioners. Only a few municipalities nationwide are working to reduce these responsibilities.
Local governments should consider more carefully whether work done on the premise of cooperationfrom community associations is really necessary, and whether only such associations can actually do thatwork.
An increasing number of nonprofit organizations specialize in matters that have been handled by local
communities, such as looking after children and creating places for the elderly to socially integrate. To ease theburden on community associations, it will be important for local governments to play a role in getting NPOs
and other organizations involved.
Community associations serve as a foundation for residents to share information and help each other intimes of disasters and other emergencies. Events such as festivals can strengthen solidarity among residents.
It is also essential for efforts to be made to expand this role and the appeal of community associations, andincrease the number of members.
Some community associations are promoting the digitization of “kairanban,” community circulars thatare distributed among residents, and the use of social media to confirm the safety of residents in the event ofdisasters. This approach may help deepen interest and understanding among younger generations about theactivities of community associations.
Community associations will have to reform themselves. There must be no pressure to make residents
feel obligated to join the associations to live in communities or serve as executive members. If activities areperceived as closed off, there will be no prospect of increasing the number of participants.
Associations need to curb the decline in their membership through such measures as enhancing
transparency by revealing how they use membership fees, and by making themselves organizations that act
based on the needs of residents.
