Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to clarify the conditions for the development of a "problem-solving housing" system in which single parents can reasonably enjoy the infrastructureas a solution to the poverty surrounding single parents, which is caused by the stove-pipeddevelopment of support measures essential to their lives, including childcare, employment, and housing, and by the mismatch between them. The first step is to identify the conditions for the development of a "problem-solving housing complex" system that enables people to reasonably enjoy the infrastructure of living in such housing complexes. To achieve this, first, we visualized the needs of mother and child households seeking shared housing; second, we organized the market rent for shared housing for mothers and children and the needs of users; and third, we ascertained the feasibility of operating shared housing that is acceptable to low-income groups in the private real estate market through case studies.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究が居住や経済貧困のみならず、時間や関係の貧困をも解消しうる可能性を秘めている点である。長時間労働で家計を支えるひとり親の時間の貧困やひとり親の孤立、いわゆる関係の貧困の解消は急務の課題であるが、未だ効果的な策は提示されていない。問題解決型集住は１）コミュニティの醸成による孤立抑止、２）生活の合理化による余剰時間の創出といった利点を内包しており、多様な貧困解消の一助になると確信する。
