A Study on Activation System of Community Well-being Capability in the Case Areas of a Small-Sized City and Surrounding Villages

如果我们试图实现更高水平的社会保健制度，重要的是改善社区福利网络及其环境以及国家框架。在此研究中，我们建立了一个新的概念——在现代化进程中被削弱的社区福祉能力。为了评估公共能力并鼓励改进，本研究小组分四个小组从四个方面着手。Team-I通过多指标统计分析建立社区能力理论模型：在现有因素基础上增加就业、社会参与等新的社会指标，有效促进地方能力综合评价。第二组社区社工培养计划：为了使社区能力更具实践性，期望社工的角色能够支持社区。与社会工作专业诞生地美国其他大学的研究交流，产生了适合日本国情的项目新前景。team iii居住环境的完全无障碍设计：这方面在过去通常被忽视。公共设施和环境的模式促进自助努力和照顾支持系统，从改善他们的房子到邻里空间，显示了社区能力的新贡献。第四组：国家护理管理制度的地方特色发展：护理服务水平和环境条件因地而异，很大程度上取决于地方政府的能力。通过几个自治团体的案例分析，发现了许多优秀的案例。结论：这四个团队的方法可以整合到下一阶段的社区关怀和环境能力评价方法的综合框架中。

If we try to attain the higher level of social care system, it is important to improve the communal well-being networks and their environment as well as the national framework. In this study we establish a new conceptual idea = communal well-being capability which had been weakened through the modernization process.To evaluate the communal capability and to encourage the improvement, this study group approached from four aspects of the matters by four teams.Team-I Establish the Theoretical Model of Communal Capability by Multi-indicators Statistical Analysis : New social indicators such as employment and social participation were added to the existing factors and found effective to promote the comprehensive evaluation of local capabilities.Team-II Bringing up Program of Community Social Workers : To make the communal capability more practical activities, the roles of social worker are expected to support the communities.Research exchange with other universities in the United States where social work profession was born, produces the new vista of program suited for the Japanese situation.Team-III Total Barrier Free Design of Living Environment : This aspects have been usually neglected in the past. The model of communal facilities and environment for promoting self-help efforts and care support system from improvement of their house to neighborhood space shows a new contribution of communal capabilities.Team-IV Local and Unique Development of National Care Management System : The level of care services and environment conditions is varied by local conditions and largely depends on the abilities of local administration. Many excellent cases were discovered by several autonomies case analysis.Conclusion : Approaches by these four teams can be integrated to the comprehensive framework of communal care and environment capability evaluation method for the next stage.
