In an effort to consider how to run and manage the meeting places of local communities, we conducted a questionnaire as well as held hearings with managers of Shyukaijo which is the meeting places in the city of Uji, Kyoto Prefecture, concerning issues related to meeting places of this kind. Many managers of Shyukaijo were elderly and, in addition to their 'regular' responsibilities, were engaged in many other jobs related to local community formation, such as taking care of meeting facilities and repairing equipment, responding to neighbours' concerns, promoting the use of the meeting place, and so forth. There are three kinds of community meeting place management committees (in terms of their organizations): the first is to run directly by the association of the community residents. The second is a separate organization from such an association. Among these three examples the management committees found to be most active in running a meeting place were the ones separate from the community residents' associations, featuring as its members not only directors of the association but also representatives of elderly residents, children, and so forth, as well as the meeting place manager. It is necessary to reduce the workload of the manager who handles executive work alone. The municipal government should flexibly grant local residents some discretion over a meeting place facility and its management.
