Behavioral changes among participants and the potential for managing emergent possibilities

Case Study of Practical Implementation of the Small-Scale Place Based on an Informal Communication.

Abstract

This study based on Sasaki’s “framework on phases that motivate continued participation in small community settings”. It analyzes verbal data from participants’ first-time involvement in small-scale dialogue sessions facilitated by the author. This research analyzes the content and attributes of these responses from entry to exit, identifies factors leading to second-time participation, and reconsiders conditions for return. Based on these findings, the study highlights patterns in verbal behavior that may lead to behavioral change and explores the potential for managing emergent possibilities.
