A clinical research on challenging cases at volunteer coordination

三年来，我们临床考察了社区服务和社区其他志愿者活动中因应他们的生活环境而出现的具有挑战性的案例。特别是，通过对具有挑战性的案例结构的分析，调查了社区服务领域的现实。然后，研究了社区发展的基本情况，包括互助制度和人际关系的多样性。在今年，也就是三年研究计划的最后一年，我们总结了所有收集到的案例，建立了数据基础，并对这些案例进行了理论总结。我们的工作可以分为以下四个阶段：1.挑战案例研究我们从京都和滋贺县的志愿者中心收集了160多个案例。在这里，我们找到了影响社区服务扩展的转折点和结合点，从而构建了志愿者活动发展过程的模型。(第1章、第2章、第3章、第4章、第12章)2.高等教育志愿者计划的发展我们调查了大学志愿者中心的需求功能和它的教育作用。此外，我们还为大学生开发了一些带有学术成分的志愿者项目。(第10章，第11章)3.志愿者活动资源的审查我们研究了志愿者活动资源在社区中是如何组织和维护的。还审查了一些志愿人员晋升计划(社区服务项目)。(第7、8、9章)4.残疾儿童支助活动调查志愿服务中心在许多具有挑战性的案例中报告了在课余时间对残疾儿童缺乏支助系统的情况。2006年10月，我们对残疾儿童日间服务中心进行了实地调查。(第5、6章)

For three years, we have clinically examined the challenging cases in community service and other volunteer activities in the community which emerge in response to their living environment. Especially, the realities in the 'field' of community service were investigated through analyzing the structure of the challenging cases. Then, fundamental conditions of community development which involves the system of mutual aid and diversity in human relationships were studied.In this year, the last year of the 3-year research plan, we summarized all the cases collected, made a data base and theoretically generalized from these cases. Our works can be divided into 4 phases as below;1. Case study of the challenging casesWe examined more than 160 cases that we collected from volunteer centers in Kyoto and Shiga Prefectures. There, we found out the turning points and junctions that affect expansion of community service, which led to constructing the model of developmental process of volunteer activities. (Chapter1,2,3,4,12)2. Development of the volunteer programs for higher educationWe investigated the demanded functions of volunteer center and its educational role at university. Moreover, we actually developed some volunteer programs with academic components for university students.( Chapter10,11)3. Examination of resources for the volunteer activitiesWe studied how resources for the volunteer activities were organized and maintained in the community. Some schemes of volunteer promotions (community service projects) were also examined. ( Chapter7,8,9)4. Investigation of supporting activities for the children with disabilitiesLack of support system for the children with disabilities in after school hours has been reported in many challenging cases by volunteer centers. We undertook a fact-finding research on Day-service centers for the children with disabilities in October 2006. ( Chapter5,6)
