Toward the Establishment of the Foreign Workers' Community

the interviews in their own mother tongues

Abstract

By interviewing the foreign workers living on the island with their own native language, we aimed to bring out their thinking on their purpose, conditions and so forth. The pieces of information would help them cooperate each other and form a kind of community. They revealed, however, what they need is not communicating with others, but that they dwell on wages. And a loose but immediate relationship with the foreigners is advised to be established between them and the native inhabitants.
