A Comparative Study of Welfare Community --The Social Research in the UTARI Community--

本研究的重点是阿伊努人和WAJIN（即非阿伊努日本人）之间的种族和族群问题，特别是与共生有关的问题。无论是在古代还是在现代，这一民族关系都存在着重大的社会问题。自明治维新以来的一百多年里，北海道积极的填海造地，使北海道的地区发生了变化，仿佛它是另一片土地。如今，除了凉爽的气候，它已经成为改革的家园，但在北海道的整个社会中仍然存在着偏见和歧视的社会问题。这些现象主要可以解释为在政治和经济上处于上级地位的瓦津人压迫和剥削另一个少数民族（即民族）的社会事实的结果。例如，阿伊努人（Ainu Japanese）。后者是逐渐降级到一个较低的地位，通过历史的动态， ...更多信息 当然，现在情况不同了。特别是，通过战后民主化和经济增长的影响，UTARI的集体代表以及整个社会系统的集体代表发生了变化。因此，阿伊努人现在已经与一种不同的、更高层次的原则和法律联系在一起，这些原则和法律在社会中起作用，而不是在自然界中起作用。目前，为了提高生活质量，需要采取积极行动，以达到阿伊努人福利社会的上级水平。通过社会调查。本研究采用访谈法、问卷调查法、统计资料处理法、多元分析法、文献分析法、参与观察法等研究方法，试图了解阿伊努族的社会制度、宗教、文化、职业、社区生活、市容环境等方面的实际情况。我们于1998年研究了北海道爱奴协会的白井分支和白井町的WAJIN，并于1999年研究了纹别分支。下文将对阿伊努人的民族性进行更深入的综合系统分析。少

This research focuses on the ethnicity and ethnic groups' problems between the Ainu people and the WAJIN (namely non-Ainu Japanese) , especially connected with symbiosis. Old times and even the present day, there were the important social probems in this ethnic groups' relationship. Caused by the positive reclamation of Hokkaido over one hundred years since the Meiji Restoration, the district of Hokkaido has changed as if it were another land. Nowadays, it has become reformed as well as the home land aside from the cool climate.However, there are still existent social problems with regard to prejudice and discrimination in its whole society of Hokkaido. These phenomena can be primarily construed as a result of the social fact that the WAJIN who was politically and economically in the superior position oppressed and exploited another ethnic minority (i. e., the UTARI, namely Ainu Japanese) . The latter was gradually relegated to an inferior position through the historical dynamics of so … More cial interactions involved.Certainly, things are different now. Especially, through the impact of postwar democratization and economic growth, the collective representations in the UTARI as well as those in the overall social system changed. Thus the Ainu people have now been associated with a different, higher order of principles and laws seen at work in society as against those at work in nature. Now these days the affirmative actions are required for improvement of the quality of life which aims at superior attainment of the welfare community of the Ainu people.The method employed in this research is synthetic system analysis conducted by the historical perspective. Through the social research. we wished to explain actual conditions of the Ainu ethnic group's social system, religion, culture, occupation, community life, amenity and so on.We conducted a comparative approach by means of the interview, questionnaire, statistical data processing, multivariate analysis, document analysis, and participant observation. We researched the Shiraoi Branch in the Ainu Association of Hokkaido and the WAJIN inhabited in the Shiraoi Town in 1998, and the Monbetsu Branch in 1999. Hereafter, we will proceed deeper with the synthetic syetem analysis concerning with ethnicity of the Ainu people. Less
