Abstract:
Introduction: This study aimed to identify issues and concerns involved in a community-based activity and to identify requirements for supporting its continuation. Methods: Between September and November 2021, interviews were conducted with 12 volunteer residents who manage a community-based activity. Deductive content analysis was used to analyze the data. Yrjö Engeström's activity system model was used as the analytical framework. Results: Within the components of the activity system, the following "contradictions" were identified: supporters were anxious to continue their activities, the number of new participants in the community-based activity was not increasing, and human relationship difficulties constituted a regional characteristic. Among the components, the following "contradictions" were identified: many older adults were unable to participate in the community-based activity because of age- or health-related reasons, many older adults worked, and there were various other activities that did not result in subsequent participation in the community-based activity. Conclusion: The model also identified the need to consider visualization of the benefits of the community-based activity, comprehensive publicity activities involving residents, creating a system that allows people of all health levels to participate, and ongoing support for health promotion for the younger generation with anticipation of old age.
