The process of generating place at the base for the local community through multihabitation platform

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to clarify the process by which multihabitation living platform is transformed into community place . We found that for local residents, a platform is (1) a place that accepts people who are different from the local community, (2) a place where they can stop by and enjoy values, knowledge, skills, and appreciation of the local community through interaction with multi-site dwellers, and (3) a place where they can express and discuss things that are difficult to achieve individually through daily fluid interactions with multi-site dwellers. (iii) a place where local residents can express and discuss things that are difficult to achieve on their own through fluid daily interactions with people living in multifocal areas. Multisite residents with diverse attributes, aspirations, and objectives visit the community, interact with the community through the center manager, and enjoy the values, knowledge, skills, and appreciation of the community by local residents, thereby promoting the acquisition and transformation of meaning toward the center. In addition, opportunities for local residents to express themselves are created through fluid interactions with the multifacility residents who stay at the center in turn, making the center a place in the community.
