Abstract
As the decline of local communities becomes an issue, it is necessary to consider the participation in local communities of new residents as a result of the formation of compact cities. In this study, we conducted a literature review on the participation of new residents in the community. Past cases of urban development projects and whether or not they are mentioned in Location Normalization Plan (LNP) and other documents were investigated. The main findings of this study are as follows. 1) We confirmed the importance of triggers for participation, which consist of places and events, based on past cases. 2) As a result of an investigation to the LNP of the 28 municipalities in Kinki Region, no mention of community participation for new residents was found. 3) We showed that in the residence attraction area, it is necessary to promote the participation of new residents in the community based on past cases.
