The Research of Effect of Agriculture-Welfare Collaboration Activity on Persons with Disabilities and Support Staff.

Abstract

In this study, we conducted a questionnaire survey focusing on the effects of agriculture-welfare collaboration activities on persons with disabilities, their support staff, and other individuals involved in these activities. The collaboration activities not only enhanced the physical strength and enthusiasm of disabled persons but also may have had certain effects on the support staff, such as making them realize the importance of cooperation and collaboration. The results showed that disabled persons have become more inclined towards outdoor activities in their daily lives and that the support staff achieved a sense of contribution to society through collaboration with the local community. These findings demonstrate that both groups have gained confidence and joy from interacting with diverse people through these activities. Agriculture-welfare collaboration acts as a community that unites individuals from various backgrounds, and the function can be maximized when each individual works together.
