In Fukuoka City, there are neighborhood associations (jichikai) and community associations (chōnaikai), which are community development organizations made up of the local people who live there.
There are also local associations that are based on elementary school districts (jichikyōgikai) and consist of neighborhood associations and community associations within the school district, as well as groups that are active in different fields in the school district.
Both groups engage in a variety of activities to deepen interactions among residents and to solve local issues.
In addition, activities are funded by membership fees gathered from members of these neighborhood and community associations.
