3. Placemaking through Players outside Community
November 15 15:20〜16:00
At the deck seat, four children at the staff and six girls from Nishi-Nagazumi Elementary School learned from store clerk B and made a lease using
pinecone and olive leaves. A woman in her 60s and 70s walks near the deck. The manager A, who saw it, rushed and called her out loud, “I used
the box I had made before as a material for leasing.” After a while, the woman just came back with a small ball of origami. When store manager A
asks, “Tell us how to make it to the children.” She answers “Of course.” After that, a regular woman in her 50s and 60s who came to the shopping
street on foot walked in. “I was going to a butcher, but I heard it because I had a pleasant voice,” he said with a smile.
Figure 5. Terakoya cooking Event
Clerk B knew Kami Nagao Terrace by SNS and becomes a staff member when she thinks it can be
an activity for the child she wanted to do here (Table 1). On the day of entering Bʹs cafe shift, a free meal
is provided to children whose parents are returning late. In addition, a childrenʹs cafeteria named
“Terakoya” also holds a cafeteria event once a month, and she has also realized the desire to create a
place for them (Fig.5). Volunteer C, who retired and was originally a café visitor, gradually became
more involved and became a shopkeeper selling apple pie at the event. (Table 1). In addition, Mr. D
made a hut for baking apple pie in the side of the deck and made it, and the deck was decorated with
flowers and moss balls to create his place (Fig.3). Kaminagao Terrace plays a role as a place to embody
the desire to do it by changing the activity and space depending on the user. As a result, the user who
become staff of the Kaminagao Terrace gathered from the neighboring area adjacent to the neighboring
area.
3.1. User Networking
Event Coordinator D borrowed rental space on the second floor as a user at the beginning of
Kaminagao Terrace (Table 1). After that, while introducing MS. D and other event owners, the storeʹs
network can be reached (Fig. 1). MS D used this network to gather r the shopkeeper’s on Kaminagao
Terrace, and she became the coordinator for event planning. Fig 6 shows an event called “Healing Cafe”
planned by MS D. During the time when they were not guests, the shopkeepers replaced and became
customers and experienced each otherʹs services. In addition, many of the customers who participated
in this event were friends from the store, and there were conversations such as “Letʹs meet again after
a long time” and “See you next event”. In this way, the shopkeepers are sympathized with each otherʹs
hobbies and styles, and by further strengthening the relationship, a “wide area network” has been
formed that is not affected by distance. As described above, Kaminagao Terrace has the power to
embody the desire to be a user, so it will be gathered from neighboring areas, and will be a player from
all over Fukuoka City by the wide network of the leaders. It has become a base for gathering.
