| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
As increasing numbers of those on welfare, Kotobuki, the urban underclass area in Yokohama, has been reformed as “the town of welfare” so that those who have high social mobility become harder to survive in and around the area. Even though high mobility of the people is one of the area’s social characteristics, the social issue of Kotobuki has now reconstructed as focusing on welfare for only the institutional residents.
Since the 2000s, the Province and the City government started the policy in DTES, the urban underclass area in Vancouver, and with the policy, the supportive organizations, which have originally worked in the area, operated emergency shelters and housings for the homeless and this caused increasing numbers of sheltered homeless and their accessibility to sufficient degree of protection and support. But it has raised the number of the socially vulnerable who come and settle down to the original underclass area as enough support fall short in other areas.
