Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to clarify how to develop and operate day-care centers that contribute to the development of child-friendly communities. Specifically, this study consists of the following two parts. (1) Through case studies, I clarified the reality of cases in which local communities voiced their opposition to the establishment of day-care centers. Interviews were conducted with multiple actors in three cases each: the development of day-care centers by private companies using privately owned land in residential areas, and the development of day-care centers using parks. (2) I conducted a questionnaire survey of all day-care centers in City A in Tokyo to understand the actual conditions of the relationship with the local community in the development and operation of day-care centers.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

保育施設開設にあたり地域社会から反対の声があがった事例に関わる現象は単純な構図で説明されがちであるが、複数主体へのインタビュー調査をもとに客観的に実態を明らかにできたことは意義があると考える。また、東京都A市については、問題が顕在化した園ではなく、１自治体の保育施設の状況を悉皆的に把握できたという点で意義があると考える。
