【 摘 要 】

Beggars as a problem in urban areas has never been really solved, both by the government and civil societies. Government and civil societies only focus on the downstream, not the upstream or the root of the problem. The government has been concentrating their efforts on lawmaking which restrict beggars and vagabonds in urban areas, crack them down by apprehending and rehabilitating these people. In the meantime, civil societies and non governmental organizations (NGOs) have been paying more attention on socioeconomic empowerment with institutional and non-institutional system. If the root of the problem is not touched upon, beggars influx will always be there: this group will keep coming to urban areas, especially near to religious holidays. Institutions which have never been touched upon by the government and NGOs, the ones who bring about beggars and vagabonds, in this research are called "the beggar home production".
