Some NPOs try to act as professional organizations solving the architectural conflicts. In this paper, I try to confirm the difinition of 'Machidukuri' (community development) at first, then examine 2 cases, and discuss the future of such NPOs. As conclusion, I suggest that NPOs have advantage to professional persons on merits as institution, but also NPOs have some problems to be solved that they have to brush up their professional knowledge always, or have the balanced perspective of not amateurism nor excessive professionalism.

At Murakami in Niigata, the event 'Tour to watch the Dolls in Townhouse at Murakami, the Castle town' is held on every March from 2000. It exhibits various dolls, which are kept by old families, in the old townhouses. This event is planned and managed by young inhabitants in Murakami, and gathered around 30, 000 people in 2000, 50, 000 in 2001 and 70, 000 in 2002. It is expected in this area to blow up economically, but is not sure whether the tourist effect is sustainable or not, because of plans to enlarge the streets, which should destruct the old townhouses. This paper examines the possibility of community development by cultural materials through the economical research on this event.

This paper examines the economical effects of famous monumental sites in Japan, Yoshinogari in Saga and Sannaimaruyama in Aomori. Those sites are said having some economical impacts to the prefectural economy, but I suggest to recognize not big impacts as significant macro-economically, rather potential parts are large.
