When a local government introduces a DAO, it creates a system in which people outside the local government can be proactively involved in solving various local issues. Their fresh perspectives and knowledge will create a chemical reaction with the thoughts and ideas of local residents, creating innovative solutions to a variety of issues. Through proactive activities, DAO participants deepen their understanding and attachment to the region and create a strong affiliated population. The national government is promoting DAO as a platform that involves human resources from outside the region and supports sustainable regional development, and its use is expanding nationwide.
