We have compiled note usage examples and ideas for those involved in public projects
With the COVID-19 pandemic, information disseminated by local governments is receiving more attention than ever before. On note, we have also launched a plan for local governments. In this article, we will introduce note usage examples and ideas for everyone who is thinking about their local community. Please use this as a reference.
1) Consolidating and disseminating the voices of local businesses and residents
We will introduce examples of supporting the dissemination of information by shops and businesses to boost the local economy.
▼ Using note as a "catalog site" to recruit participants from local businesses and promote the appeal of local specialties and company products

▼ note summarizing information on restaurants offering takeout

2) Widely promoting the appeal of the region
It is also recommended to use note to disseminate information about tourist attractions and programs. Although it may be difficult to travel to distant places for tourism right now, why not archive the appeal of your region so that people think, "I'd like to go there someday"?
▼ Introducing a campaign where prefectural residents can experience tourism programs at half price because long-distance travel is difficult right now
Come, See, and Experience! Hidaka Village Half-Price Experience Campaign (Hidaka Village Tourism Association)
▼ Disseminating information through a project that brought people together across different positions who wanted to "do something for the disaster-stricken area"

They disseminate a variety of information, including information for times of disaster, event reports, and reports on the "FUKKO Tweet Trip" to help people learn about the appeal of the disaster-stricken areas.
▼ Disseminating the town development process with resident participation
Shimokawa Town, Hokkaido "Shimokawa Town Development Note"
Shimokawa Town, Hokkaido, is also famous for winning the 1st Japan SDGs Award Headquarters (Prime Minister) Award. They disseminate information on all aspects of town development in Shimokawa Town while involving the residents.
3) Connecting with the inside and outside of the region
note is a platform that can be used across various positions. Why not use it as a "media to increase the relationship population" that can connect not only with local residents but also with fans outside the region? You can also use it as a base for disseminating information in collaboration with private companies and organizations involved in the region.
▼ Disseminating information for an online community that connects inside and outside the region
The reason why Shimokawa Town, Hokkaido, created the online community "Bear Lab" (Shimokawa Bear's Laboratory)
They disseminate the activities of the "Shimokawa Bear's Laboratory," a community that connects inside and outside the region, on note. This is an initiative for people who want to "do something in Shimokawa Town, Hokkaido" to connect and learn with Shimokawa residents. This note, which carefully and passionately explains why they are doing this activity, is a must-see for local government officials.
▼ Supporting information dissemination by teaming up local governments, shopping districts, and companies
What are the ways to easily start internet sales (EC)? Measures and points of caution that retail stores can take even now (Shinagawa Shopping District Support Project)
This is a note account operated by Shinagawa Ward, Gotanda Valley (formed by IT venture companies related to Gotanda), and the Shinagawa Ward Shopping District Federation. They disseminate methods for restaurants and businesses whose operations are being hindered to provide services even during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Various examples of note usage with public interest
There are other examples of information dissemination by various public organizations, so I will introduce them.
▼ Releasing coloring pages of tourist spots and local specialties
Aratama Coloring Pages (Aratama Regional Revitalization Cooperation Squad Network)
Thinking about what they could do during the period of self-restraint from going out, they released coloring pages depicting local tourist spots and specialties on note.
▼ Using note for disseminating and recording projects involving various people such as public organizations, private sectors, and students
Tokyo Underground Lab by Tokyo Metropolitan Sewerage Bureau
They are engaged in various initiatives such as workshops and fieldwork to disseminate the new possibilities and appeal of the sewerage system. And the students who are project participants are posting reports on note.
▼ Using note in a local newspaper that embodies a "local circular board"
Launching the web magazine "Ishinomaki Days - How to Live in a Future City -" (Ishinomaki Days - How to Live in a Future City -)
Although it is not a local government, I would like to introduce the note of Ishinomaki Hibi Shimbun, which is filled with the thought of "being a local circular board." Because we live in an age where information can be obtained anywhere on the internet, this declaration of intent note, which talks about the determination to disseminate information in Ishinomaki for Ishinomaki, is a must-read.
Beyond what is introduced here, we believe there is still much potential for regional communication and initiatives using note. We welcome your feedback.
We will be holding a 'note pro study session for local governments'
We are holding a 'note pro study session for local governments' to explore what kind of communication local governments can achieve by using note. We plan to hold these regularly in the future. Please sign up and join us.
We look forward to working with you.
