Outline of Final Research Achievements

I studied a measure in past and present of the "multicultural community building policy" that became the national policy measure in Japan.　About the past, the logic and the limit of the measure where the measure side pushed forward one-sided assimilation became clear about "Kyowa business" for the Korean brought over mainly from colony Korea.
I investigated a "multicultural community building policy" in the modern local government measure to the second and performed the attitude survey of the local politician of each place. After assuming three areas, North Yamagata, South Nagano, and Osaka-shi, a target for comparison, active support to "multicultural community building policy" of the politician became clear.
