Outline of Final Research Achievements

Japan's economic supports for social infrastructure developments in the developing countries has showed substantial outcomes. There are some issues must be solved in the area of involuntary resettlements involved in those developing projects. The local governments are supposed to be in charge of these issues. However, they sometimes are not fully capable for resolving the problems socially and legally. The doners of those economic supports would have indirect responsibility for some disputes in the involuntary resettlements.
