| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examines the connectedness with the community in the contemporary Balinese situations by the approaches and ideas of the people regarding the care of their elderly parents of whoｍ they can no longer take care because of being away from their home. Looking at the individual anecdotes, it seems that they vary according to the background of migration, the relationship with the village of origin after migration and the plans for old age. Still, if we look at the common points, we can see two different rules ('belonged to local communities' and 'connected through blood-ties') in their relationship with the community (village of origin) in their explanation. The study can be seen as an attempt to examine the connection with the community in the contemporary situation of the Balinese people. In this research, the connections with blood-relatives were talked about far more often than the connections with the customary
village, which I assume is due to travel restrictions.

本研究は，インドネシアの地方社会に潜伏する社会問題を人類学的な微視的視点から剔出した．経済成長のもたらす見かけの豊かさにも関わらず，バリ人社会では，福祉については危うさのあることがわかる．当事者であるインタビュー対象者たちが一致して表明する，実家と移住先との二重の帰属による負担感（の無さ）の理由として彼らが挙げている，「始原」（共同体あるいは祖先）への奉仕という考え方から，社会福祉を社会全体によってではなく個々人の努力によって成し遂げようとする規範を正当化するイデオロギーとして，血縁や共同体に関わる伝統的観念が作用していると考えられ，これを日本を含むアジアの諸社会と比較することが可能である．
