A Study on the Role of Ethnic Community Organization for Multicultural Coexistence in Local Community

This study will discuss about the roles of Ethnic-Community-Organization(ECO). As the world is becoming more integrated due to globalization, we can often see that various ethnic groups with various cultural backgrounds present in the same area. Therefore there has been an increasing interest in the impact of Ethnic-Community to the local community and their co-existence. Existing studies show that there are the positive views and the negative views for Ethnic-Communities which Includes conflicts in communities and increasing concerns for public security etc. Often the conflicts in this kind of communities are over the scale of what the Individuals can deal with, since it is scale of matter of a local society. In this reason, the main stream of studies in this area has always been something to do with the policies and the role of administrations. However, it is difficult to deal this problem only with regulations and policies hence; there should be some sort of links between those cultural ethic groups and the local society which can encourage the host group to adopt those new ethnic groups as a part of their community. Therefore this study will focus on the roles of ECO from the two main points. First, the research will show the effect of new ethnic groups to Host-Local-Society. Second, it will examine how the ECO copes with the influence from Ethnic-Community by case study. The purpose of this study is to find out characteristic features of ECO and to suggest the roles of ECO for better harmonization.
