| Research Abstract |
This study focuses on the rural homeless who are in the Tohoku region in Japan to analyze the current state of the extreme poverty in a Japanese city in relation to "locality". The findings show that, with the decline of the family's role as a buffer to destitution, the people who had been working away from hometown (e.g. the working style are called the "Dekasegi") have found the loss of the safe place to stay when they had returned. And the situation leads directly or indirectly to the reason why they entered the homelessness.
