Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we conducted a two-step survey of vulnerable people living in Japan.
According to the first phase of the qualitative survey (interview survey), the subjects had lost their social roles and solidarity with their families, had lost their daily contact with others, and had spent their time alone. Others, however, found new social connections and were able to escape isolation by participating in gatherings at the invitation of trusted supporters or acquaintances.
According to the second phase of the questionnaire survey, the longer a person lived in their current residence, the more likely they were to have opportunities to consult with others, contact others, and enjoy interaction with others.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

日本の生活困窮高齢男性たちの脆弱性:中高年層の単身男性が大半で、簡易宿泊所や一時保護所などで暮らす。家族や親族と接触することがほとんどなく、特定の密な関係を持つ者は少ない。家族、親族や友人のような強い紐帯は少なく、親密性が低い弱い紐帯は存在している。日本の生活困窮高齢男性たちの肯定的意味:伝統的な家族や親族とのつながりを持たずとも、地域社会に参加することで、居住区域で多くの他者と共有することにより、人生の満足度へ影響があると考えられる。一旦他者との接触を失ったとしても、安定した住まいと経済的な保障が基盤に整い、その上で他者と交流するきっかけを得て、社会とのつながりを再編することかできる。
