We proposed the cooperative farming in the city which increases the communication in neighborhood between the residents, friendly feeling to agriculture and crop joy, and also investigated the possibility for that. As for the method, we surveyed the present situation mainly on an allotment farm in Kobe city about the problem and prospects. In addition, we really tried an action to manage the cooperative farm in a lecture of the citizen's course. Also we took a part and watched an action of the NPO to manage the cooperative farm in the city park, and inspected the result and issues. As a result, the allotment farm of Kobe city had a problem for continuation with the aging of a manager and the user. In addition, the long distances become the disincentive, too. However, we could understand that the actions such as events promoted interchange and continuation. The understanding for the cooperative farm and breeding of the will were seen in a high ratio by the program we offered at the citizen's course. At the cooperative farm in the city park, we could consider that a good location, existence of support and the coordinator are effective factor for continuation.
