Abstract
In this study, we clarified how managerial experiences of community organizations formed individual attitudes toward community revitalization, using the S district as a case study area. A questionnaire survey for residents of the case study area was conducted to clarity statistical relations between managerial experiences of community organizations and individual attitudes toward community revitalization. The result of statistical analyses was then followed up by the semi-structures interview survey to all the heads of local communities. Our results suggested that 1) the managerial experiences of community organizations nurture individual attitudes of mutual help, 2) which then enhance his/her attitudes toward community revitalization regardless of his or her age. Individual affects resulted from the managerial experiences were 3 folds: positive influences, negative influences and evaluation of community norms. Based upon these results, we finally summarized a causal model of how individual attitudes toward community revitalization were formed through the managerial experiences of community organizations.
