The Homeless Etiquette : Social Interaction and
Behavior Among the Homeless Living in Taito Ward,
Tokyo is based on ethnographic field research carried
out in the autumn of 2003 in certain parts of Tokyo.
The author of this MA thesis followed the daily lives
of chosen groups of homeless people, sometimes
participated in their actions, and did a number of
open interviews. The field data is analysed using the
aspects of Takie Sugiyama Lebra's theory of "social
relativism". Lebra s theory is also critically reviewed.
The thesis aims to clarify, how and why the
interaction and behavior of some homeless individuals
follow the aspects of Lebra's theory in some
situations, and on the other hand, why in some
situations they do not. A significant finding in the
study is the so called "homeless etiquette", which
appears to be an abstract set of norms and values
that influences the social interaction and behavior
of the homeless, and which many of the homeless
individuals presented in the study seemed to comply
with. The author argues that a deeper understanding
of the daily lives of the homeless is needed for
creating sustainable solutions to issues relating to
homelessness in Japan.
