| Research Abstract |
The project revealed mainly five research findings: 1) Investigation of New York city's Lower East Side Manhattan area demonstrated that the revival of urban communities were initiated by NPOs established during the 1990s. These NPOs not only greatly contribute to the community revival process but also play a major role in preserving the historic landscape that are vital in maintaining the urban fabric. (2) Research conducted among the largest Hmong community in the U.S., Minnesota, Twin Cities, demonstrates today's advanced policy for multicultural citizenship. What marks the division between majority and minority community is actively accepted as social resource instead of adopting an acculturation policy forced upon by the majority group. (3) Analysis of the revival of Jewish culture in Westend (Frankfurt am Main, Germany) shows new possibilities for the future. (4) A policy recommendation was put together based on field research conducted in the shopping arcade area of Miyuki-Dori in Ikuno Ward (former Ikaino area) Osaka city and the Korean town in Tokyo's Shin-Okubo of Shinjuku Ward. (5) Research of the dowa community reveals that during the past forty years the community became rich with social resources due to the dowa policy: medical clinics, sports center, educational centers, public baths, and history museums. The research demonstrates a system of how these facilities can be utilized and contribute to building an attractive community that can play a vital role in the urban community at large.
