Abstract
We have never been able to enjoy a present high quality of life without any information system constructed in the various industries and public fields. According to improving and deeply deploying an information system into our life, many communities which utilize the information technologies have been inaugurated. And they have made efforts to contribute to solve problems in the local societies. On the situation of movement of the activities for constructing the social information systems from an e-Government to a Local-Government, a community that has some kind of relation with a local government is expected to be in charge of role proposing a solution related to issues and executing it. However leaders of communities have pointed out that it is quite difficult to start a community and carry on it continuously. As one of the methods for solving problems, the project management skills may be useful in starting and operating the local communities. We are trying to newly define the project management body of knowledge for a local community through the discussion of studying the social project management. This report describes the analysis of the instances presented in the conference on community network study group symposium held on 3^<rd> March, 2004 sponsored by the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers.
