The focus of this report is on a group that has established a system of pub- lic-private collaboration on the initiative of local residents and are implement- ing initiatives to identify and solve local problems, as the policy goal of a re- gionally symbiotic society requires collaboration between public and private ac- tors. The kinds of ideas the resident leaders had in developing their activities are examined in this study. One resident leader expressed her concern and en- couragement to the staff. She encouraged the staff to take the initiative in plan- ning, and she made an effort to encourage them to draft plans and to make them feel a sense of fulfillment in the community. In particular, she recognized the importance of clearly demonstrating that the success of the project would be due to the ideas of the staff. In addition, the group shared a clear vision of finding and solving problems, which encouraged public-private collaboration. Another leader played a major role in representing the voice of the residents. The specific knowledge and experience he had gained in his professional career was a boost to the development of residents’ activities. He also contributed to the voices of those who are in a vulnerable position. The public projects in which the organizations participate, their various voluntary activities, and their representation of the voices of the socially vulnerable have all led to the discov- ery and solution of local issues. The existence of such leaders has played a part in the realization of public-private collaboration.
