Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to clarify the effect of Machidukuri learning for citizens through the questionnaire survey to all over the municipalities from 10,000 people up and interview to characteristic 5 municipalities about the Machidukuri learning seminars for citizens. As a result, there were only 70 seminars in the whole country and small towns didn't hold generally. 30% of these seminars created new groups for Machidukuri. The factors that new groups were created are related to the recruitment method to attend the seminar, support system for Machidukuri activities and communication between students and staff. It is necessary for the municipalities hold the seminars to provide support system for citizen Machidukuri activities.
