Rationale
Environment and Welfare are both important themes for the human race in the 21st century. They both are fundamental and absolute conditions for living a human life.
University of Creation,Art, Music and SocialWork...
Rationale
Once a deep relationship and interaction existed between Environment and Welfare, but with the advancement of the administrative differentiation and the academic specialization the relationship between them became less evident. The professional activities in these two fields evolved in separate types of occupations.
University of Creation,Art, Music and SocialWork...
Rationale
Addressing a wide call for participation to the researchers, professionals and administrators of these two fields, the Environment-Welfare Society of Japan came to existence in September 2004 not only to take into consideration the interrelation between Environment and Welfare but aiming to create a new field of environment-welfare and thus largely contribute to the development of government, administration, industry, society and knowledge.

Study of the interrelationship between environment and welfare, social welfare issues influenced by the environment and environmental issues influenced by social welfare.
