Abstract

In recent years, low income people and welfare recipient households are increasing in public housing. The aim of this study is to examine the state of public housing from the viewpoint of concentration of welfare problems, la doing so, we set out the questionnaire on residents in public housing in Hirano-ku Osaka City, where many public housing estates are located. And we analyzed the difference of characteristics between the residents who are recipients of public assistance and those who have ceased to receive it. As a result, we can say the attributes of households are very different between the residents on public assistance and those who have ceased to receive it. And the remarkable characteristic of the former is their moving from the inner area to the public housing located in the outer area.
