Abstract

<p>　The paradigm of independent living consists of “self-determination by individuals</p><p>with disabilities” and “community life”. There were many studies about self-determination but few studies about community were published. The purpose</p><p>of this research is to clarify concept of community for independent living and examine the interaction between the paradigm of independent living and</p><p>community human relations by analyzing the process of birth and development of disability movement in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo from 1974 to 1990 through</p><p>document investigation.</p><p>　The main results show: 1） Disability movement in Setagaya had it origin in needs of barrier-free a station. Two disability movements have developed after</p><p>original movement. One was independent living movement aimed to live on their own receiving personal assistance by person outside the family and establish</p><p>personal assistance security system. The other was community development movement participated in by individuals with disabilities and local residents on</p><p>even ground. The community development aimed not only to barrier-free but to promote understanding of individuals with disabilities. 2） Both disability movements</p><p>made the concept of community not as a region but as a space for communication between individuals with disabilities and local residents, and as a</p><p>space shaping through participation and learning by individuals with disabilities and residents. This community was a space allowed individuals with disabilities</p><p>to live on their own receiving personal assistance by person outside the family and to participate in on even ground with local residents. 3） This concept of</p><p>community had an actual limitation in responding to life problems for individuals with disabilities such as personal assistance, thus the support organization</p><p>based by welfare system was needed.</p>
