Duty-Based Approaches to Community Development: A Workable Solution?
Ito, Sanae

The article explores the possibility of integrating the notion of civic duty in community development in Asia. It focuses on the case of Japan’s Big Society where the majority of households, both urban and rural, are organised into neighbourhood associations. Japan is one of the leading donors in Asia. As such, it tries to reform local governance in developing Asia through encouraging people’s own initiatives at the grass roots. Domestically, however, people’s participation is solicited through resorting to their sense of civic duty and reciprocity as well as to their fear of exclusion from the top-down system of disaster management and refuse collection. Given that many of the Asian countries receiving aid show a similar sense of communal responsibility, a new approach to community development based on the notion of duty, alongside that of rights, should be considered.
