Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to examine the development and effectiveness of a community-based poverty reduction approach to poverty in regional cities and towns. The two main findings of this study are. (1) This study developed a prototype Japanese version of the “Poverty Solutions Discussion,” one of the approaches to poverty reduction developed at the community level in the City of Halifax. This study then piloted the Poverty Solutions Discussion using this Japanese version and examined its effectiveness in Japan. (2) This study obtained effective findings on three poverty measures, “community impact,” “community roots,” and “community outreach,” from a field survey in Halifax. This study also reviewed poverty measures in regional cities and towns in Japan from these three perspectives.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、日本の地方都市における貧困対策に関する知見を得ることを目的に取り組み、地方都市・地域レベルで展開可能な貧困対策の前提となる基礎的な知見を提供するができた。それゆえ、この研究成果は地方都市の貧困対策への貢献という社会的意義を持つものである。また、本研究では「貧困実態」と貧困対策のためのアクションの接近を試みた。新型コロナウイルス感染拡大の影響でパイロットプロジェクトを計画通りに実施することができず道半ばといった感があるが、本研究の一連の試みは両分野の横断が有意義であることも含意するものとして学術的意義を持つといえる。
