  • Attitude Survey on Foreign Nationals Imizu City Report
    IMEMGS Research Papers：Muslims in Japan No.13 Attitude Survey on Foreign Nationals Imizu City Report Hirofumi Tanada Kiju Ishikawa Hirofumi Okai IMEMGS Institute for Multi-ethnic and Multi-generational Societies WASEDA UNIVERSITY, Tokyo, Japan March, 2014 Faculty of Human Sciences, Waseda University Center for Research on Asian Societies 2-579-15 Mikajima, Tokorozawa City 359-1192, Japan Preface This report sets out the findings of the Attitude Survey on Foreign Nationals, conducted in Imizu City, Toyama Prefecture between October and November 2011. This attempt at examining the attitudes of Japanese people towards Muslims resident in Japan through a questionnaire survey is the second such attempt after the Attitude Survey on Foreign Nationals, conducted in Gifu City. As stated in the previous report, whilst this is by no means the first such attempt of its kind, we believe that our surveys represent the first attempt in Japan to employ questionnaires that are able to stand up to a range of analysis and that have been conducted on such a scale as to allow for obtaining statistically-meaningful results. As of March 2012, there are an estimated 100,000 foreign Muslims and 10,000 Japanese Muslims in Japan, with Mosques constructed at over 60 locations throughout Japan. Muslim communities are gaining an increasing presence; in March 2011, for instance, it was reported in the media that Muslims were involved in support activities in the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami. However, the specific issues they face in the course of their daily lives – for example, education, cemeteries and relations with the rest of Japanese society – as of yet remain largely unaddressed and are in need of examination.
