The practice of Digital Stamp Rally for distributed park uses under the Coronavirus crisis

Abstract

Due to the outbreak of infectious disease, from 2020 to 2022, in the city parks, it is difficult to hold face-to-face events and keep the level of park services. In the context of these circumstances, we held a Digital Stamp Rally in the northern Awaji area and northern Harima area in Hyogo, with the aim of proposing a new method of holding the park event that can be carried out even in this pandemic. As a result, a total of 144 people took part in this event in 17 days (in the northern Awaji area), a total of 119 people took part in this event in 23 days (in the northern Harima area) with keeping the social distancing between the participants and taking measures against infectious disease. In addition, by placing stamps in multiple spots in one park, the participants come to use the park more widely, and we can prompt distributed park use. Digital Stamp Rally is a method of holding events which is suitable for the current social situation, and it can be said that it has great potential as post-pandemic program.
