A nationwide questionnaire survey was conducted of artists listed in two published directories. The questionnaire sought answers related to 1) personal attributes, 2) places and opportunities for communicating with other local residents, and 3) community attachment and degree of self-disclosure to neighboring residents. The major findings were: 1) That quite a few artists change their attitude and activities regarding community vitalization. 2) Artists' attitudes and activities are significantly connected with their birthplaces, circumstance of residence, and the places and opportunities for communication with other local residents. Further, they decide their residential places in connection with their artistic field. 3) Respondent category classification, based on Hayashi's Type III Quantification Method and Cluster analysis, clarified that the artists who positively change their attitude and activities tend to practice self-disclosure. Thus, it was also clarified that the artists, a) who were born in the same municipalities as they now reside and b) reside in a conventional urban areas and c) communicate with other local residents at events held by artists/artists associations or school activities, have positive changes of attitude and activities. The results of this paper revealed the availability of profound community vitalization from focusing on communication between local artists and other local residents. The findings are also useful for vitalization management in connection with art/artists, which has been tried in many municipalities., International Symposium on City Planning 2003, 2003-08-26, Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan}, pages = {157--166}, title = {The Attitude and Activities of Artists towards Community Vitalization}, year = {2003}, yomi = {ヨシタケ, テツノブ} }
