都市における相互扶助的処理としてのごみ集積所管理と町内会・自治会

──浜松市の事例──

抄録

    Community Bins are managed by a neighborhood association “Chonai-kai”, “Jichi-kai” on a mutual aid basis in some Japanese municipalities. However, these systems are expected to become inoperable because of a decrease in the membership of “Chonai-kai”, “Jichi-kai”, and the aging population. In this sense, it is unsustainable to keep the relationships in which municipalities depend on communities.
    The purpose of this paper is to explain how this system was constructed. For this reason, Hamamatsu has been selected as a case study because this city first introduced the garbage collection system using garbage bags, and using garbage bags is indispensable to manage Community Bins in Japan. Thus, this paper introduces the transition of the garbage collection in Hamamatsu, and points out some problems associated with garbage collection in Japan.
