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 In Japan, multigenerational co-residence, a cornerstone of eldercare, has been replaced by a residential typology called kinkyo, living nearby.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： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
