This study aimed to clarify the use of activity permits in urban parks by identifying residents' awareness pathways for the system, key procedural barriers, and the mitigating effects of a workshop. A questionnaire survey was conducted with workshop participants to analyze these factors. The results show that awareness pathways are diverse and independent of personal attributes. ”Unclear procedures” was identified as the most significant psychological barrier, and the behavioral barriers, in descending order of significance, were ”forming an implementation team,” ”securing a location and materials,” and ”unclear permit standards.” Furthermore, this study showed that the workshop partially alleviated these burdens. This was achieved through direct dialogue with administrators and experienced individuals, as well as through collaborative work among participants.
