Who is responsible for homelessness? From personal responsibility to structural injustice
Homelessness is a persistent global issue, often framed as a debate between personal responsibility and structural injustice. This case study examines the tension between these two factors, and how responsibility narratives may shape public and policy perceptions. To contextualize this analysis, we conducted interviews with city government officials and civil society personnel working on homelessness in two historical urban districts in Japan—Kot…
Transforming a Day-Laborer's Quarter into a Service Hub
The inadequate provision of welfare services has long represented a persisting issue in addressing urban poverty, especially in districts where poverty converges. One such district, once a day laborer's quarter, is Kotobuki of Yokohama. However, given that Kotobuki is now recognized as a welfare center, this study analyzes why the abovementioned transformation occurred. Previous research examining this question focused especially on the role of c…
Boon or bane? Examining the impact of the Payatas sanitary landfill closure on former scavengers in the Philippines
Urban waste management, including that of sanitary landfills, is an urgent matter worldwide. Scavengers at sanitary landfill sites face safety and health issues. Their human rights are often violated through social oppression, dehumanization, and exploitation. Numerous landfills have been closed by governments to address these issues. Although these closures may have brought safer, cleaner, and more equitable living environments, in some cases, t…

Gaining insight into students’ motives to engage in these programs can assist in formulating strategies for program development; however, few studies have investigated this topic. This study addresses the existing research gap by comparing Japanese university students who participated in international …

Through students’ self-evaluation questionnaires, the study compared the reported scores of these skills and attributes both before and after the fieldwork programs. The findings suggested that the fieldwork pr…
Place-based environmental education to promote eco-initiatives
Due to its rapid population growth and urban development, the environment of Yokohama in Japan has significantly degraded. In response, substantial efforts have been made to address socio-environmental issues. One such initiative was a programme called G-30. Implemented in 2005, it aimed to reduce 30% of the amount of garbage waste by 2010, in comparison with that of 2001, by promoting ‘Recycle, Reduce, and Reuse’ (3Rs). Ultimately, the city redu…
