This study analyzes how surfers engaged in organic farming translate their unique perceptions and understanding of nature into concrete practices. It specifically focuses on how these practices develop through interactions with local communities.
　Previous research on lifestyle sports has revealed the exclusionary logic inherent in these cultures while exploring alternative approaches for practitioners. However, how practitioners develop specific practices in relation to their local communities has not been examined sufficiently.
　At F Farm in Town X, Chiba Prefecture, five surfers maintain a ‘half-farmer, half-surfer’ lifestyle while practicing organic farming on 0.56 hectares of land. Their practice has three key features. First, they apply the ‘Waiting Body’ sensibility developed through surfing to their farming practices, enabling a sustained dialogue with the environment. Second, they engage in a DIY approach to the body through agriculture, establishing a cyclical process of testing the effects of organic crops on their surfing performance. Third, their flexible time management based on wave conditions enables farm operations that align with natural rhythms. Their initial practice created tensions with landowner G. However, over time, they discovered common ground in their shared value of “caring for the land.” This case demonstrates that social transformation attempts by lifestyle sports practitioners can develop as creative practices emerging from multi-layered relationships with local communities, rather than through opposition or disconnection. The study advances lifestyle sports research by highlighting the importance of everyday community negotiation and collaboration.

　According to the United Nations, sport is defined as an enabler for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Olympic and Paralympic Games became one of the catalysts for promoting the SDGs and Diversity and Inclusion in Japan through Tokyo 2020’s vision ‘Unity in Diversity’. However, the post-Games report only summarised activities which were implemented under their Action and Legacy plan as impacts.
　Therefore, this paper focuses on the Game Changer project, a social legacy development project for the host city of the Games, initiated by the Dutch Olympic Committee*Dutch Sports Federation (NOC*NSF). The Game Changer project at Tokyo 2020 was launched in 2017 in cooperation with the Japan Sport Council and targeted Adachi-ward and two other municipalities in Tokyo for creating a more inclusive society through Para sport.
　By reviewing the documents published by the stakeholders of the Game Changer project, there were three key findings identified as characteristics of changes developed in the Adachi-ward towards a more inclusive society through Para sport. Through this study, it became clear that the initiative first aimed to transform values by fostering repeated dialogues among the project stakeholders to liberate them from conventional stereotypes and ableist thinking. Secondly, existing and new policy initiatives were flexibly combined to strengthen the foundation for promoting Para sport in the Adachi-ward. However, lastly, it was suggested that the opinions of individuals with disabilities who are uneasy about sports and physical activity may not have been adequately reflected in these processes.
