One is “Union” type, and the other is “Label” type. As these types are combined together, they are thought to contribute to the expansion of the fair trade market. Second, the brief history of the fair trade town movement is described. Since the beginning of this movement in Garstang in England in April 2000, there are more than 1,400 fair trade towns all over the world in 2014. They are even now increasing in number. Third, the goals and guidelines of fair trade towns are explicated. The fair trade town movement was born in England, so most of its goals and guidelines are based on English concepts, but some goals or guidelines are set individually by each country. Fourth, the fair trade town movement in Japan and Kumamoto City is described in some detail. In Kumamoto City, the first fair trade town in Japan, a very active movement developed, and several towns in Japan, like Nagoya, Sapporo and Tokyo, are participating in this movement. Eventually, a network of fair trade towns was established in Japan. Fifth, the achievements and the significance of the movement are evaluated from social and cultural viewpoints, based on the case of Japan and Kumamoto City. The fair trade town movement is put in relation to the “re-localization” movement in general. Its significance is that it is a movement for sustainable development in each community linked in a local and global context. In conclusion, we give some implications extracted from this movement. We should keep in mind that the fair trade town movement is as much a social reform movement as it is an economic activity, and we should change our minds fundamentally to realize this movementʼs goals.}, pages = {69--86}, title = {日本におけるフェアトレードタウン運動の展開と意義 -熊本市の事例を中心に-}, year = {2014} }
