ANALYSIS OF RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES AND ACTIVITIES FOR MUTUAL ASSISTANCE

Abstract

In rural areas, where services that support daily living have been reduced and even abolished, it is becoming increasingly necessary for residents to carry out new mutual assistance activities to maintain their living in a village. In general, there are community activities such as village meetings and cleaning activities, and these are thought to be places for fostering a potential willingness to begin new pursuits . However, there are various kinds of village activities, but it is unclear which ones foster a willingness to cooperate. Therefore, in this study, after classifying the activities in a village, we quantitatively analyzed which level of activities contributed to the intention to cooperate with mutual assistance. As a result, we clarified that basic village activities, such as gathering and cleaning, may contribute to future mutual assistance ventures for life support in the area.
