ISSUES OF THE GROUNDWORK MOVEMENT DEVELOPING IN JAPAN : Focusing on the Japan Groundwork Association

要旨

To empower local communities and to change the scheme of the administration, establishing Groundwork Trust in each local area is an urgent matter. We think that Japanese Groundwork could be classified into 3 types, and each type has a lack of sectorial balance according to Japanese contemporary conditions. We investigated some organizations supported by the Japan Ground work Association to identify key points of establishing. These are summarized as follows: 1) penetrating into local communities to make sure of financial basis and effective projects; 2) maintaining sustainable relations with the local authorities; 3) building partnership balanced among the public, private and community.
