Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, the followings were clarified. Squatters have overseas migrants. Indigenous people who migrated to the city settle in the squatters. Homelessness is coming from squatters’residents and indigenous people. Then, our research conducted the following analyses. First, we analyzed the compulsory eviction of the squatter. And we analyzed how people lost their residency and experienced the collapse of lives. Next, we analyzed the hierarchical origins of overseas migrants and the connection with domestic migrants. Next, we thought the indigenous people as a part of the urban bottom, and analyzed their jobs and lives. Finally, we analyzed jobs and the lives of homeless people. Al of these analyses became a pioneering achievement of research on the urban bottom people.
