| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The study aimed to capture the form of 'new territories of poverty' in the Philippines through fieldwork on the resettlement sites of the urban poor in Manila, Philippines. Two main outcomes were achieved.
First, basic data on the resettlement areas were produced. In addition to the case study in the study area, District R, which is the main research site of the project, supplementary research was carried out in another area, District J. As a result, a clearer picture of the characteristics of District R was obtained.
Second, the study analysed the dynamics of household structure in the resettlement area. The study found that the forced separation of households placed a greater financial burden on the family than in the past, and that social relationships were also more dispersed.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
これまでの東南アジア都市をめぐる社会学研究については、都市空間の再編成については考察されてきたが、都市からの立ち退きを余儀なくされた人びとについては十分に分析されてこなかった。この学術上のブラックボックスを埋める作業として、本研究は、都市から追放された人びとの軌跡の一端を解明した点に学術的意義があったと言える。また、再居住地の生活を、家族生活の世帯構造の変容という観点から迫った点に、社会的意義があったと言える。再居住地では仕事などの経済機会が喪失していることで、世帯生活を可能にする社会的条件が成立していないことが見て取れた。
