Life styles and social welfare needs of the elderly who live on the Amami Islandsand the Yaeyama Islands : anxiety about future life, feeling that life is worth living, eating habits, health-care and welfare services, and regional issues (2)
Get PDFapplication/pdf本研究の目的は、琉球弧の北に位世する鹿児島県の奄美諸励と南に位置する沖縄県の八重山諸島における島嘆地域の高齢者の生活の現状と福祉ニーズを把握することである。調査対象地は、奄美諸島の中心である奄美市(島嶼都市部)および瀬戸内町の加計呂麻島、請島、与路島(島嶼集落部)、八重山諸島の中心である石垣市(島嶼都市部)、竹富町西表島西部および鳩間島(島嶼集落部)であった。鹿児島県の場合、特に島嘆集落は過疎高齢化が進行し、集落機能の低下を余儀なくされている。沖細県の場合、鹿児島県ほどの過疎高齢化は進んでいない状況であるが、島嶼地域のもつ生活上の課題を共有している。いずれも、相互扶助の伝統等の地域文化あるいはその精神が残っているという共通点を持つ地域である。
本稿では、前稿に引き続き、日常生活の不安と生きがい感､食生活､保健医療･福祉サービス、暮らし向きと地域の問題等についての分析結果とそのまとめを示す。将来の生活不安は島喚集落部の方が島嶼都市部よりも不安を感じる人が多かった。一方、生きがい感は、島嶼都市部の方が高かった。食生活では、栄養面のバランスを欠きやすい環境下にあった。保健医療では、島嶼集落部は医療サービスの地域格差への不満や問題が見られると同時に、健康に対するセルフケア意識の高さが伺えた。福祉サービスでは、島嶼集落部では天候や交通手段によるサービスの中止や困難性などが生じていた。暮らし向きと地域の問題では地域差はなく、共通して台風､交際費､老後の生活の不安があげられ、特に瀬戸内町で地域の問題を感じている人が多かった。The purpose of the study was to investigate the life styles and the social welfare needs of the elderly who live on the Amami Islands and the Yaeyama Islands through a questionnaire survey. The regions surveyed were the urban area of the Amami Ohshima (Amami City) and the rural area of the Kakeroma Islands (Setouchi Town) in Kagoshima prefecture, and the urban area of Ishigaki Island (Ishigaki City) and the rural area of Iriomote Island and Hatoma Island (Taketomi Town) in Okinawa Prefecture. The people who dwell on these remote islands are usually under unfavorable conditions geographically and economically and the communities there are under functional decline due to depopulation and aging. On the other hand, these islands keep the spirit of mutual helping and the traditional cultures.
In this paper we report analyses of the anxiety about future life, the feeling that life is worth living, the eating habits, the evaluation of health-care services and welfare services, the family finances, and other regional issues. The anxiety about future life was higher in the rural areas of the islands than in the urban areas. On the other hand, the feeling that life is worth living was higher in the urban areas of the islands than in the rural areas. Respondents were prone to eat poor-balanced meals. In the rural areas of the islands, while they expressed their dissatisfaction with regional gaps of health-care services, they showed high awareness of self-care about their own health. In the rural areas of the islands, welfare services at home were sometimes cancelled by bad weather or transportation trouble by sea. There was no difference in the family finances and regional issues between areas. Regional issues shared by all islands were the vulnerability to typhoons, high social expenses, and the anxiety about life in the future, and especially the elderly in the Setouchi Town listed more regional issues than those in other areas.

Children's religious spirituality and their behaviour at play with focus on early childhood
Get PDFapplication/pdf本稿の目的は、子どもの宗教的情操を検討することと、遊びをその表現行為として再評価することにある。子ども時代、とりわけ幼児期の子どもは特定の宗教とは無関係にあいまいで原初的な宗教的情操をもっているが、それはいくつかの子どもの遊びに見出すことができる。たとえば古くからの伝統的遊びである、旋回遊び、鬼ごっこ、お葬式ごっこ等、これらの遊びは、一般宗教でいう儀式・儀礼としての側面と意義を有していて、宗教的情感をともなう深い心の癒やしや自己成長の機会を提供する。遊びを通して子どもは非日常的世界に触れ、「死と再生」の過程を経験するのである。
わが国では、子どもの宗教的情操を教育の主題として取り上げることを避けてきた歴史がある。子どもの宗教的情操を重視したフレーベル教育学は、明治期に米国女性宣教師らによって導入されたが、まもなく子どもの発達を第一義とする進歩主義教育諸派に押され、彼の考案した遊戯やその思想は力を失ったのである。The purpose of this paper is to discuss religious spirituality in children and to re-evaluate their behaviour at play with this in mind. During childhood, particularly in the early years, children have a vague, innate sense of morality that does not relate to any specific religion and that can be seen as they play. For example, games such as spinning, tag, funeral games etc. not only contain religious elements such as ceremony and courtesy, but also offer opportunities for self-growth; encouraging them to recover quickly from disappointment, overcome setbacks and to consider others. Through play and experiencing the process of death and rebirth, children are exposed to an adult world that they have yet to experience.
In our country, we have historically avoided taking up morality in children as a topic of education. Although Froebel pedagogy, which emphasises the innate morality of children, was introduced in the Meiji period by American female propagators, it was soon overwhelmed by progressive education schools and Froebel' s theories and games lost their influence.論文(Article)departmental bulletin pape
Social Isolation among Elderly Persons Living Alone
Get PDFapplication/pdf論文(Article)This study aimed to conduct an analysis based on a survey performed in 4 municipalities
which investigated social isolation among elderly persons living alone. This study was conducted
as collaborative research between the Minami-Nippon Shimbun and International University of
Kagoshima in September 2011. and obtained sample data from 1.000 cases with the support of
local welfare staff members. Although economic deprivation is often considered the greatest risk
factor for social isolation among elderly persons, this study also focused on differences between
urban and depopulated areas to analyze the data. As the results, the level of social activities and
sense of isolation were particularly affected by the level of income. This was marked in depopu
lated areas, where infrastructure has not been improved compared to urban areas.departmental bulletin pape
Empirical analysis of income inequality of Osumi and islands area in Kagoshima
Get PDFapplication/pdfIt is important to clarify the current income inequalities among small areas in Japan because of economic and political reasons. However, some restrictions on data about their incomes complicate detailed analysis of the inequalities. We test the income gaps of Osumi area and islands area in Kagoshima with bootstrap method. The results show that there are insignificant differences of mean incomes and income inequalities between or within those areas. Thus, the living place of a family does not have an effect on the income level in Kagoshima.論文(Article)departmental bulletin pape

The measurement of inhabitants’ image of the village : the case of Shirakawa district of Kagoshima
Get PDFapplication/pdf論文(Article)This study was conducted in corporation with the prefectural bureau for rural development in
order to identify the image of a rural district in Kagoshima prefecture of Japan. 51 questionnaires
were gathered from a wide variety of residents in age, jobs and hamlets, and the results were
analyzed by primary factor analysis, cluster analysis and Hayashi’s quantification method type I.
The result of the analysis indicates that there can be separated three groups that have different
images to the village. The quantification analysis suggests that the differences of villagers’ image
can be partially explained by age and hamlet, but the relationship between the image profile and
the attributes of villagers is not strong, nor monotonic.departmental bulletin pape
