## Background: Challenges in Shirahama Town and the DAO Approach
While Shirahama Town in Wakayama Prefecture is one of the leading tourist destinations in the Kansai region, promoting stays during off-seasons and weekdays, and preparing an environment to accept teleworkers, remains a challenge. Meanwhile, information on spots suitable for workation use was scattered, requiring systematic investigation and organization.
In this project, participants of the DAO community 'Shirahamania', based on LINE OpenChat, acted as investigators. Instead of a single administrative survey, it was conducted as a community-participatory decentralized investigation. Furthermore, as a measure to encourage participation, multiple types of incentive systems were designed and tested to verify their effectiveness.
