About the Association

In an era marked by declining birthrates, population aging, and increasing risks from natural disasters, the role of the community mechanism—voluntary cooperation within families and local communities—is being reassessed. Our association was founded to advance research and educational activities across multiple disciplines, with the aim of contributing to the development of this field and to society as a whole.
