In this paper we surveyed about existing ownership-condominiums (condo-owners' and residents' association) from the viewpoint of positioning of each association and officer cooperation. We found the four types of the resident organization; "integrated", "federated coexistence", " coexistence", and "neighbor association join", and analyzed the relations with the neighborhood community in the region, the establishment process of the residents' association, and the administrative authorization situation. We found that recently there is an increasing trend of "federated coexistence" than "coexistence". Then we considered issues of making ideal community organization in owner's condo, and analyzing the background and factor of residents' association establishment, we found that there are some problems and cons by "integrated" and "coexistence" in each. We propose that the local government should accept condo-owners' association that conducts the community activities as residents' associations for safety-nets with neighborhood community, and both the condo-owners' and residents' associations should make own bylaw for total activities and association fee in accordance with laws and regulations.
