Fossil energy-dependent modern economic society systems has made on the earth and local levels, various and complicated problems, such as environment, water, energy, food, and communities. We must create more ecological and sustainable society. It is very meaningful to obtain cooperation of GEN and to hold an international conference on the theme of sustainable, alternative, community and Ecovillage, in Tokyo. The change of a modernistic West-life style is cried for. And the creation of an alternative life style towards construction of the reduction economy society which replaces it, the space for it and environmental creation are called for (David Holmgren [Permaculture/ Principles & Pathways Beyond Sustainability]). Practice of body size, such as being based on the people of the grass roots on the theme of them, has been a pressing subject.
The capitalist Western Europe-modernization after the Industrial Revolution forced man action in a uniform and regular mechanical rhythm. Uniform, functional structure, standard space where a citizen’s space and time are efficiently collected in capital, artificial space and city space has been produced in large quantities (Henri Lefebure, [La production de l’espace]). Furthermore, life, human life, and intellectual activity are also included in it under the globalization by expansion of global capital market formation by the end of today. The singularity in each area and Common are respected and movement of the alternative globalization for gaining new communities has been also activated（Antonio Negri [Empire], [Multitude]).
