Through a case study of the mailing lists managed by the Zige-okoshi Internet Meeting Tottori and the Kan-Setouchi Exchange Club 21, process and spatial structure of communications through the mailing lists had been examined. Four points were elucidated through two mailing lists ; process of developing the communications, characteristics depended on the people belonging to, spatial structure and the point of contact between the cyberspace and the real space. As a result, the knowledge was acquired as follows. 1) Communications through the mailing lists would be different in the quantity of transmission and the regional interconnectivity according to the contents of information. In other word, the places where the key persons live will be at the core of all contents, but in the other areas transmitted contents differ because that depend on each interest of participants who live there, and strong and weak would occur in transmitted quantity and regional interconnectivity. 2) Communications through the mailing lists would be developed around the places where the key persons live and the places where the offline activity was held, regardless of the regional gap in the population scale and the number of participants. The main factors to decide the spacide the spatial characteristics of communications in the mailing lists are the role and interest of the participant and concrete activity in the real space. 3) Communication through the mailing lists and the offline activity are complementing each other. Offline activities are planned and adjusted by communications through the mailing lists, and personal relationships formed in the mailing lists are strengthened by the offline activities, so that would raise consciousness to promote the activities in the real space. In addition, communications through the mailing lists work for a participant who is going to develop the regional promoting activity in the other area, and finding a new cooperator would widely expant the regional promoting activities in the real space. 4) In the communications through the mailing lists about the regional promoting activities in the ares, its spatial structure, the participant's senses for the area and the the point of contact between the cyberspace and the regional promoting activities in the real space are different according to the location and the scale of the activity area.
