Research Abstract	By widening the focus of investigation to include specialists from multiple disciplines and other fields, and the parties concerned, among others, the purpose of this study is to understand the current state of multi-disciplinary collaboration and consultation, the issues, and to verify the effectiveness of collaboration from the perspective of protecting human rights. While having as a common goal the realization of livelihoods desired by the parties concerned, it became clear that collaboration and cooperation with other disciplines and fields promotes collaboration with informal resources, and also contributes to eliminating discrimination and biases in the local community.
