| Abstract |
The ideology based on a nuclear family in industrial society has been organized in social systems. It has brought the separation between work and family life, and between public and private spheres, and been reflected in residential areas and urban spaces. Families has changed remarkably for the last 30 years. In the face of the care deficit, the modern model of a nuclear family with a male provider is of no use anymore. It should be made an alternative to the concept of a family; the recognition of family diversity, the incorporation of work, family life, and a community, and the socialization of care work. But current residential policies and the development plans of residential areas are incongruent and insufficient to overcome a care crisis. Based on the alternative, this study proposes the orientation of residential policies as the physical foundation for the public care responsibility and the incorporation of work, family life with a community as a unit. It includes a discussion on the relation between residents and local communities as well as between a resident and housing. These features are as follows: 1) the supply of a diversity of housing for the various needs of families, 2) the connection with human resources of a community, a industry, a country, and so on, 3) the supply of the public service system connected with medical treatment, public welfare, health, education, employment, urban planning, and etc., and 4) the operation by the participate of residents and residents groups based on a local community and the support of a country. |
