This document summarizes Makoto Okada's capstone project on developing dementia-friendly communities in Japan. The project involves finding insights through field research, prototyping concepts by mapping stakeholders across sectors, developing relationships through activities like study groups, connecting these ideas and relationships to generate recursive projects, and ultimately utilizing the connections to create tools and strengthen the social ecosystem for dementia issues in Japan. The five-step process focuses on developing multi-layered relationships through a series of activities, relationship building, and innovative mediation.

19. Voice of Person with Dementia
Even though I have dementia, the many things I
can no longer do are also accompanied by many
things I can do.
Having dementia has led to more inconveniences,
but this does not necessarily mean I am unhappy.
Even though I have dementia, I have introduced
ways to be creative in my lifestyle without giving
in to despair and continue living with hope.
Even though I have dementia, I have not given up
on living.

27. The 5% Margin
Travel probably makes up less than 5% of
our lives, yet that 5% uplifts and enlivens
the remaining 95% of our lives! It is
important that 5% of our everyday lives is
uplifting and bright.
New forms of business
Hotels are also in the banquet
and party business, which has
led to the emergence of a new
business: establishing ties and
relationships among people.
New forms of work
Rather than treating people
with dementia as simply
service recipients, treat them
as potential service providers
as well.
Deep dialogue for new vision
