In this paper, we conducted semi-structured interviews with organizers of dry stone walling restoration activities to understand how participants become organizers and to consider how to manage the place to increase the possibility of continuing the activities. As a result, it was found that organizers have similar feelings toward dry stone walls and resources surrounding their activities as a common premise. In addition, there were four characteristics of change by practicing the activity: experiencing the practice of having to play various roles, improvisational coordination, understanding the principles of the rules, and arranging the restoration work. From these results, three characteristics of activity management were not fixing roles, communicating the priority of rules, and encouraging chatting.
