Abstract
This study investigated the individual factors of the participation to annual-community events, and of the promotion of exchange among local people. Data used in this study was representative 4,939 samples of A city, Kyoto. The results are as follows; 1)The factors of participation to the events vary according to the types of the events. Factors related to region are associated with the event held in shrines, and not with the sports event. Additionally, all events were associated with "the rate of the numbers of neighborly companionship" factor. 2)Those associated factors are not the same at the participation and the exchange. All events are associated with the factor of "the degree of neighborly companionship". It was suggested that the preservation of annual-community events based on a full of understanding of the variation of those factors is important.
