This report is part of a series of studies (preceded by Parts 1 through 4) targeting the residents of a rental type community cooperative housing complex. The study goes beyond conventional concepts for facility planning involving the providing of needed functions, by clarifying the need for living space planning with a mutual permeation of consciousness with regard to people, activities and spaces, in order to form an all-encompassing creativity for group living and leisure time. This paper reports on the joint activities involving residents of the cooperative apartment house Aruju. It reveals that the value of collective living at Aruju is enhanced by various activities in the collective lives of residents, including events, the rotation of meetings, and communication that takes place on the continuous balconies.
