This study analyzed the contributions of Para-Sports experiences in public spaces to fostering barrier-free mindset. Analysis of the questionnaire to the participants（ n = 759） proved the effect on fostering barrier-free mindset of the experience sessions. It became clear that growing interest in para-sports had a strong influence on fostering barrier-free mindset, that the evaluation of the venue also had a certain indirect effect, and that the para-sports experience was highly effective for the groups who are indifferent to disabilities. These results confirm that the Para-Sports experiences in public spaces have a certain effect in fostering barrier-free mindset.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the issues, points of contention, and logic in the deliberations regarding certified social worker in the Japanese Diet. The research method used was the thematic analysis method, which is a qualitative research method, in order to pick up even small issues. As a result, I found 1044 labels, 461 codes, 183 categories, and 32 issues. As for points of contention, I found 9 points such as “independent qualification of mental health welfare workers” and others. As for the changes in logic, I found distinctive changes in three issues: “Enactment and amendment of Certified Social Worker and Certified Care Worker Act”, “Professionality of certified social worker” and “Securing human resources”. Future tasks include expanding the scope of research to analyze documents from the government and to examine the professional nature of certified social workers.
