By introducing the new concept of 'Living/Well-being/Cultivating', this study discusses one useful approach in establishing a Neo-Community which is expected to appear in the 21st century as an alternative to the so-called 'collapsed community' of the 20 C. This research has its origin in a method that examines real community metamorphosis by investigation and also the researcher's direct observation through collaborative work in building a nursing home with residents. It was a symbolic project in terms of real participatory design by means of a workshop process. The new-town residents in Nagazumi, Fukuoka City, have been continuously cultivating themselves to accomplish through their voluntary activities, sensuously-improved and culturally-enriched lives. Their creative performance in the past thirty years could be understood as a neo-community empowerment process and the activities themselves were (the result of) an accumulation of self-commitment of individuals at each stage of life. This research will examine the conditions essential to the cultivation of Neo-Community in this important era of paradigm change in mental culture.
