From 2006 to 2009, in the Akashi Kaikyo National Government Park, Kobe,we considered the validity and effectiveness of the citizen participation and the possibility of the social capital formation through the action research which experimented with some park operations before the park would open. As the result, it was effective for the social capital formation to promote opportunities for civic organizational operations to be involved in various participations. For the use of the park, it led to the revitalization of the motivation which influenced on the quality of activities that it combined coordination managements among participating groups and the implement of utilization programmes in each group. Additionally, I found that there was a possibility that it would upgrade effectiveness of the citizen participation based on further motivations by supporting activities in each group.
