| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In aging community generally, caring kindred play a role of caring and life support for aged people. However, variation of activities to care and support in each region can be observed on reality and formation principle. And these regional characteristics would correspond to each local type of the social organization traditionally. To test this hypothesis, I have taken on the comparative study in Hachijo Island and northern Nagano prefecture where are different in local type of the social organization traditionally.
In Hachijo Island, the tradition of Inkyosei that is double household family remains strongly, so that aged parents as care receiver trend to live an independent life based on their own responsibility. For example, they spend in Inkyoya as much as possible, where is another building to be separate from the main building and use any day care facility positively.On the other hand, in northern Nagano prefecture, people join forces to care and support as a family essentially.

本研究の意義は、第一に、今なお影響力を有する足元の社会の仕組みや文化の伝統を今日的に巧みに活用する内発的な発想に立った介護施策を構想する点にある。日本の福祉施策は、その研究を含め、とかく先進的な他国（他文化）の施策を導入しようとする傾向が強いが、介護も生活の一部であり、そのあり方も文化である。家族のあり方や地域社会のあり方も文化である。そもそも他文化の下での施策を安易に日本に持ち込む発想に矛盾がある。
第二は、「介護キンドレッド」という概念の提起と、それが地域性を持つものであることや、その本質は、日本の伝統的な社会組織の地域類型に根差していることを実証しようとする研究であることにある。
