Abstract
This paper investigates the effect of migrant workers' experiences in workplace and local community on their consciousness and relationship to the local area. Based on interviews to migrants worked in a resort in Shimukappu, Hokkaido, we studied the process that they were transformed into community development actors. A migrant workers' community formed through use of local resources helped them to settle in local community and to transform them into actors. Developing relationships with local residents from the use of local resources contributed to form migrant workers' positive senses to local area. That is, resort's activities using local resources could give rural area chances of getting new actors.
