| Research Abstract |
This study aims to elucidate how anthropological practice can contribute to the betterment of development assistance, while focusing on the process of fieldwork. To this end, the concept of "ba(social space)" is considered as a key for observing the process of social encounters, and the interaction among various actors in the field, including fieldworkers. Based on examples, the author establishes that the characteristics of fieldworkers' attitude towards "walking along with people's realities", as well as their views and questions, represent a specific commitment to the field. The author concludes that the engagement of this type of field worker with his or her "ba" has significance as a form of interactive skill for use within institutional development projects, where there is a tendency to treat people's problems as "sectoral".
