抄録

The aim of this paper is to clarify the function of “coacting space” we called as one kind of community space to vitalize regional activities where people perform together like a stage.
Miniature pilgrimage places patterned after Shikoku's 88 pilgrimage can be regarded as “coacting space” to perfome “Shikoku Pilgrimage” on settlement. We researched eight miniature pilgrimage places of North Harima through the field survey for understanding the changing and state of social system of them as “coacting space”. As a result we understood miniature pilgrimage had been the social system to produce two types of intercourse that vitalized closed community. One have been held between outsiders and inhabitants for the strangers has never eliminated as for he plays “pilgrimage”. Another have been held between habitant each other, one group from village people willingly participate in the plays as “pilgrimage” and the other group act as receptionist (“settai”) to serve tea and sweets to the pilgrimages.
