(1) Struggle for peace: popular movements against military bases in
In East Asia, people are threatened by the existence of military bases and military exercises in their living environment. Is it a state of security that people are in danger of accident and crime caused by the troops that should secure the nation? In order to answer this question, we hold this workshop. With inviting some local activists from Korea, Okinawa and mainland Japan, we will have active discussion with participants for the hopeful future without any wars.

This
on-site workshop is held in Airin district, popularly
known as Kamagasaki, in Osaka , where largest number of casual day-labourers and
rough sleepers in Japan concentrate. In the current economic depression, rapid
increase of rough sleepers urge not only city government but also ordinary
residents and the non-government sectors to take action with respect to serius
problems related to housing, jobloss, and social welfare. The situation is
especially grave for the aged male singletons struggling for their survival in
this community. Together with the East Asian colleagues tackling with the issues
in support of aged people and rough sleepers with difficulty, this workshop aims
to deal with and to share among us the present conditions of disadvantaged aged
male singletons and rough sleepers, and at the same time community support
action for these persons, especially in Osaka, Taipei and Hong
Kong.

Small-firm (SMEs) dominated industrial district in Higashi Osaka and
Kobe
Not only big
firms such as SONY and Toyota, but also small firms are key players of the
Japanese manufacturing industry. Industrial districts dominated by those
small-firms are distinctive due to high density of factories, inter-firm
networks and community activities. Since the mid-1980s, districts have been
pressured by endaka (yen appreciation), competition with south-east Asia and
China, and land-use conflict. We would like to discuss the sustainability of
small firms in global competition
