Abstract
Recently, the numbers of communities and neighborhood associations, which have their own websites for the purpose of local revitalization and information transmission, have been increasing. Depopulated settlements, however, confront many difficulties for building and managing such websites due to lack of the person who is capable of maintaining them and low internet utilization ratio among residents. In this study, we established the website of the N community located in the northern part of Kyoto prefecture with residents using microblogging and advanced the possibilities of their own information storage and local revitalization. Most residents positively accept this platform and understand the purpose of this project. Further progress can be expected in the future.
