Abstract

Abstract Why do some people choose to live close to their elderly parents and how do they make sense of it? In Japan, multigenerational co-residence, a cornerstone of eldercare, has been replaced by a residential typology called kinkyo, living nearby. The optimal distance between the homes of family members, defined by the ability to deliver a bowl of soup before it gets cold, is considered a strategy to tackle the population aging. The purpose of this paper is to present a critical assessment of the intergenerational proximity which points to the need for further investigation of the role geographical distancing plays in future city planning. The qualitative data derived from individual narratives of four married daughters in Tokyo were obtained via online and mobile instant messaging interviews, through which real-life kinkyo situations are illustrated.
暖汤邻近:日本超高龄社会养老的空间性
摘要为什么有些人选择与年迈的父母住在一起,他们是如何理解的?在日本,作为老年护理基石的多代同堂住宅已被居住在附近的一种名为kinkyo的住宅类型所取代。家庭成员家与家之间的最佳距离,由在天气变冷之前送一碗汤的能力来定义,被认为是应对人口老龄化的一种策略。本文的目的是对代际邻近性进行批判性评估,指出有必要进一步调查地理距离在未来城市规划中的作用。从东京四个已婚女儿的个人叙述中获得的定性数据是通过在线和手机即时消息采访获得的,通过这些采访可以说明现实生活中的怪癖情况。

期刊介绍: Architecture and Culture, the international award winning, peer-reviewed journal of the Architectural Humanities Research Association, investigates the relationship between architecture and the culture that shapes and is shaped by it. Whether culture is understood extensively, as shared experience of everyday life, or in terms of the rules and habits of different disciplinary practices, Architecture and Culture asks how architecture participates in and engages with it – and how both culture and architecture might be reciprocally transformed. Architecture and Culture publishes exploratory research that is purposively imaginative, rigorously speculative, visually and verbally stimulating. From architects, artists and urban designers, film-makers, animators and poets, from historians of culture and architecture, from geographers, anthropologists and other social scientists, from thinkers and writers of all kinds, established and new, it solicits essays, critical reviews, interviews, fictional narratives in both images and words, art and building projects, and design hypotheses. Architecture and Culture aims to promote a conversation between all those who are curious about what architecture might be and what it can do.
