Sociological studies on the problem of Hansen-disease in Okinawa Island.

本研究从“冲绳爱乐泉”疗养院的看守人和冲绳的历史两个角度，考察了冲绳汉森病社会问题的几个阶段。在这一时期的研究中，我们从艾拉宽建造前治病和丧葬仪式的社会现实出发，厘清了社会对汉森病患者的歧视。考虑到一切，患者被迫从冲绳社区的社会关系中剔除，因为社区成员将患者视为死者。因此，对于患者来说，Airakuen不仅意味着庇护(E.Goffman)，还意味着社区(V.Tuner)或Apha。在本研究中，我们未能充分展开以下主题：(1)1938年至太平洋战争重建时代的Airakuen日常生活世界的社会构成“，(2)Airakuen对代际问题的社会学思考”，(3)“Airakuen”基督教信仰的社会学思考。围绕主题(1)，我们陷入了追查研究材料和文件的困难。关于主题(2)，我们失去了一个研究对象，因为许多年轻的艾拉昆囚犯回到了社会中。关于主题(3)，我们陷入了追寻《爱若泉》两个教会的基本文献的困难。在下一个研究项目中，主题(1)和(3)将需要进一步研究。

This research considered the some phases on the social problems of Hansen-disease in Okinawa Islands, from both points of view of the inmates in the sanatorium "Okinawa- Airakuen" and of the histories in Okinawa. During this period of our research, from consideration on the social realities of cures and funeral rites before construction "Airakuen", we clarified the social discrimination to patients of Hansen-disease. Taking all things into consideration, the patient were forced to eliminate from social relationships in Okinawa communities, because of members in communities were regarded the patients as the dead. Therefore, for the patients, "Airakuen" means not only Asylum (E.Goffman) but also Communitas (V.Tuner) or Asyl.In this research, we couldn't enough developed the follow themes : (1)"The social constitution of everyday life-world in "Airakuen" from 1938 to reconstruction-era of the War in the Pacific ", (2)"The sociological consideration on the problem of generation in 'Airakuen' ", (3)"The sociological consideration on the Christian belief in 'Airakuen'.Concerning to the theme (1), we were felled into a difficulty to trace the research material and document. Concerning to the theme (2), we lost an object to research, because of many young inmates of "Airakuen" returned to "Society". Concerning to the theme (3), we were felled into a difficulty to trace the fundamental document of two church in "Airakuen". In next research project, themes (1) and (3) will have to study further.
