To reduce crop-raiding, community management is encouraged. However, as most communities are declining, it has been suggested that several communities manage it together. In this study, I considered the possibility of management by multiple communities. We interviewed readers of 14 management cases in Sano city, Tochigi Prefecture and 10 in Oita Prefecture from August 2010 to October 2015. There were 13 cases managed by one community, five by several communities, and six by a group in the communities. The features of each case of management were compared, and it was found that management by several communities was conducted in those communities that had activities or organizations. Furthermore, while the study group was created to manage all communities, the actual works were managed by each individual community.
