SATELLITE AND RESORT OFFICES IN JAPAN

Environmental and quality-of-life issues are taking on an increasing social and political significance the world over. Even in Japan, a country so often criticized for its economic-dominated outlook, talk is turning to these issues. Advances in telecommunications and a growing awareness of the need to change how we live and function in an increasingly threatened environment has brought telework to the forefront of the debate on the nature of work and how our cities function. After setting the broad Japanese social context, the paper looks at the progress of telework in Japan to date with especial emphasis on several current satellite and resort office pilots. It summarises the findings and proposals of several available reports, and also attempts to identify the overall outlook for telework in Japan.
