　The aim of this paper is to consider the condition of producing cooperation for depopulated area’s community development by people. For this project, this study grasps the facts of learning of “Personalization of phenomena” suggested by Masaya Iwasaki(2010), and the logic of the practice for restructuring “structure of the field” suggested by him. 　In this paper, I focus on the process of forming organization for the purpose of community development, “Karekimata Eco-museum Group” in Tokamachi, Niigata. Through the analyses, two main conclusions are indicated, as follows. Firstly, expanding a perspective on the self and the community spatially gains a fresh perspective to find local resources. Also, expanding a perspective on them temporally encourages people’s independence as the actor of community development. These are produced by learning corresponded to reality of people. Secondly, these learning lead people to know a significance of diversity and identity by learning from each other. Additionally, lead people to share the vision of community development which everybody can participate as equals. For such occasions, people need to empowerment objects like peripheral people. This is the moment of forming cooperation for depopulated area’s community development.
