Outline of Final Research Achievements

Through cross-sectional investigation and analysis of various cases of community-based resource management as a problem of crisis originating from the natural environment, and various cases related to mental health measures as a problem of crisis from the social environment, this study attempted to elucidate what provides the socio-ethical basis for the concept of resilience, which may neglect the particularity of each living of people on the scale of normality. After collecting various case studies through domestic and international field research, we arrived at the hypothesis that the principle of subsidiarity (the sole role of a superordinate group, such as the state, should be to "complement" the autonomous development of subordinate groups and individuals) is what gives resilience its socio-ethical foundation. Then we named this the "Seigel Hypothesis" and found a new research goal: to verify this hypothesis through the investigation of various cases in various communities.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

通常のレジリエンスに関する研究では、社会の強靭さや個人の心理のしなやかさに着目し、それを可能にする個人的・環境的要因を抽出するものがほとんどだが、本研究が提示した「シーゲル仮説」では、そういったレジリエンスそれ自体には倫理的な正当性はなく、個人に対する集団の役割のあり方、それに伴う組織的な意思決定構造のあり方こそが、まずもってレジリエンスに倫理的な基盤を与える、と考える点で、各地での個々の営みを統計的な視点で過度に一般化することなく評価する視座を与えうる。また、この視座は、各地での個々の実践者たちにとっての自己理解にも利用可能なものであり、学術的・社会的両面で意義があると思われる。
