1. The Reflexive Mechanism of a Living Lab Platform for Self-Sustaining Co-Creation Activities Atsunobu Kimura, Japanese Network of Living Lab (JNoLL) Co-Designing Institute for Polyphonic Society Kyosuke Sakakura, Tokyo City University Japanese Network of Living Lab (JNoLL)
2. Atsunobu Kimura Representative Director, Japanese Network of Living Lab (JNoLL) Polyphonic Partner,Co-Designing Institute for Polyphonic Society Kyosuke Sakakura Professor, Tokyo City University Partner, Japanese Network of Living Lab (JNoLL)
3. • Necessity of co-creation Platform • Related research • Examples of Japanese Platform for long-term impact • Mechanism of the co-creation platform Topics
4. It is helpful for platform operators to verbalize the value of their Platform. Verbalizing the value of the platform The results of the project are easy to understand, and the cycle of evaluation and investment continues. Platforms / intermediary support organizations are difficult to see and understand, so there is no awareness of the mechanism, and the cycle of platform evaluation and investment does not work. Living Lab: Three Layer Model Macro (organization & platform) Meso (living lab projects & methodologies) Micro (living lab activities & research)
5. Related Platform Research How to yield projects (like leaves and fruits) Evaluations of LL-PF organizations [6, 7] have focused on the PF function for project promotion. Evaluate the region & city (like forest) Methods for evaluating the long-term impact of co-creation projects on the local community [8,9,10] Little research on Mechanism Although factors have been extracted from analyses of successful cases and quantitative indicators have been created, the mechanisms have yet to be analyzed. [11,12]
6. Research Questions Q1. What Platform mechanisms continuously generate good-projects? Q2. (future) What framework supports the operation of long-term impactful platforms?
7. TsunaPro: Japanese famous co-creation Platform Kamiyama Town, known as the “Holy land of regional revitalization" https://magazine.zennichi.or.jp/town/17659 Successful Case of Regional Revitalization through ICT https://www.soumu.go.jp/main_content/000643406.pdf Kamiyama Town where "people attract people" https://lab.smout.jp/tokushima/kamiyama- cho/tsunapro.html Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology Encouragement Award on High School Revitalization https://www.mext.go.jp/component/a_menu/education/micro_detail/__icsFiles/afi eldfile/2018/06/22/1406222_006.pdf Case Study Satellite offices in renovated old houses
8. Research and analysis methods based on theory of Developmental Evaluation STEP 1. Condition Analysis in 2015 STEP 2. Confirm the principles STEP 3. Condition Analysis in 2024 STEP 4. Analysis identifying Platform mechanisms TsunaPro Plan Kamiyama’s website Books & articles Interviewing stakeholders Data Collection Analysis methods
9. Condition analysis for 2015 6 policy areas to realise ideal situations in TsunaPro 1) Housing Improvement 2) Youth Empowerment 3) Job Development 4) Circulation Mechanisms 5) Safe living 6) Enrich relationships Results Housing Improvement Youth Empowerment Outer circle: Projects Not Directly Related to TsunaPro Inner circle: Direct project of TsunaPro
10. Condition analysis for 2024 6 policy areas to realise ideal situations in TsunaPro 1) Housing Improvement 2) Youth Empowerment 3) Job Development 4) Circulation Mechanisms 5) Safe living 6) Enrich relationships Results Housing Improvement Youth Empowerment Tsunagu Corp.

11. If there is NO Platform 1.Vision: Unable to see common vision 2.Resource: Impossible to find abundant resources 3.Activity: Unable to overcome interruptions Vision Layer Latent resources Apparent resources （Realization） Vision Realized activities Layer Resource Layer Suspension/failure Efforts toward realization Results
12. Public Housing (8 buildings) Community space Onoji Public Housing Project Akui River Kamiyama Ceder Example episode
13. Episode 1 of Platform Vision Layer Latent resources Apparent resources （Realization） Vision Realized activities Layer Resource Layer Efforts toward realization Government worker Local carpenter Design manager from outside Inspection outside the town Study session with related parties Changed the procurement 2 bldg. per period Pass on carpentry jobs to future generations
14. Episode 2 of Platform Vision Layer Latent resources Apparent resources （Realization） Vision Realized activities Layer Resource Layer Efforts toward realization Government worker Ceder trees Forestry operators Establishment of a certification guideline and system for locally produced cedar Operation of the system Utilizing local cedar to connect nature to future generations 100% locally sourced materials
15. Episode 3 of Platform Vision Layer Latent resources Apparent resources （Realization） Vision Realized activities Layer Resource Layer Efforts toward realization Government worker High school students Landscape designer Cultivation of regional seedlings Planting in apartment complexes Create an attractive learning place and connect schools to future generations.
16. Carpentry, Nature, and High Schools are connected to future generations Many young carpenters are now active in other projects Town's cedar is now also being used in private construction. High School avoided the threat of closure
17. Reflexive Aspects of the Platform Mechanism.2 like Roots Enriching diverse resources Mechanism.3 like Trunk Acting on vision responsibility Mechanism.1 like Sunlight Continuing dialogues and visionary concordance
18. Continuing dialogues and vision sharing POINT1. Creating a space for dialogue Diverse outcomes Continuity of activities Realisation Inform the residents POINT3-1. Building Relationships Inside the Community Vision Layer Realized activities Layer Resource Layer Apparent resources Vision Efforts toward realization POINT3-2. Building Relationships Outside the Community POINT2. Activities embody the vision Latent resources Mechanism 1 ・Sharing examples and Experiences from outside the community ・Connecting with communities outside
19. Enriching resource diversity Inform the residents POINT1-1. Building relationships Inside the Community POINT2. Place connecting active and passive people Vision Layer Realized activities Layer Resource Layer Apparent resources Vision Efforts toward realization ・Sharing examples and Experiences from outside the community ・Connecting with the outside community Diverse outcomes Continuity of activities Realization POINT1-2. Building Relationships Outside the Community Mechanism 2 Latent resources POINT3. Strengthening motivation
20. Acting on vision responsibility Connecting active people with those who are just watching POINT1. Dialogue with warming members POINT2. Commit to realization with diverse resources POINT3. Activities embody the vision Vision Layer Realized activities Layer Resource Layer Apparent resources Vision Efforts toward realization Diverse outcomes Continuity in activities Realisation Mechanism 3 Latent resources

22. Related to the 4-helix model Discussion 1 ❶Vision Layer ❸Activities Layer Boundary object “Tsunagu (connect) ” across 4 sectors Regardless of sector, focus on informal networking (knotworking) Members who pursued new emergent systems across sectors were active. Heart of the Mechanism Hints for restoring the lack of citizen autonomy : an issue for Japanese Living Lab Release attachment to roles defined by the existing system -> toward redefining roles for the vision ❷Resource Layer Shift from localized, objective awareness of issues -> toward subjective, long-term awareness of issues Shift from improving the existing system -> toward rebuilding one’s own lifestyle
23. Insight for 5 Helix model This suggests that the influence of Japanese animism extends not only to ways of thinking but also to institutional design and operation. Discussion 2 Cedar forest Terraced rice fields Local seedlings Akui River Onoji Project
24. Proposed hypothesis regarding the complex mechanisms of co-creation Platforms In future, - Refine our ideas by surveying other Platforms - Propose framework based on these mechanisms to encourage operation and investment We welcome discuss with platform operators facing similar challenges ! Summary and Future works
