N2 - In this paper, we propose a novel Social Networking Service (SNS) for a regional community. The purpose of the SNS is to support and encourage people by making them aware beneficial social relations in the real world. The conventional SNSs can hardly deal with beneficial social relations, because they are implicit and dynamic. The proposed SNS is designed to provide positive information for two types of people: people who does community voluntary works, such as cleaning, as contributors, and people who receives benefit from them as beneficiary. This paper introduces the basic scheme based on the SNS for beneficial social relations, and evaluates the effectiveness of our scheme based on the result of the experimental studies. The experimental result shows the users of our SNS tend to consider the information about the voluntary works valuable if they have been performed in their living area, and it suggests that our proposed SNS system would work well in a regional community.
