In this type of community, various organized actors, like neighborhood and voluntary associations, nonprofit organizations and others, tend to collaborate to solve common social problems. I researched and compared two cases of community reconstruction process in Kobe City. Main findings are as follows. Although different types of collaborative projects were attempted or carried out in reconstruction phase in two communities, both ended at about 10 years after Quake because of conflicting among actors. We may interpret it as a sort of conflict on the community orientation, between ‘local-cosmopolitanism’ and ‘localcommunitarianism’. But we also point out that such collaborative projects have increased all over Japan after Quake. We find out, in this research of reconstruction process, some facilitating or interrupting conditions for emerging urban community based on ‘new civil society’.","PeriodicalId":101506,"journal":{"name":"The Annals of Japan Association for Urban Sociology","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122094310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This new framework has been developed using the “hold” concept, which is derived from the study of dekasegi, migrant workers from the Tsugaru area of northern Japan. Although the findings of previous studies show that some urban migrants maintain close affiliations with their birthplace before and after moving to a new city, they fail to consider the effects of “hold,” which is the likelihood of return, on the decision-making process of urban migrants. I argue that it is important to recognize that there are urban migrants who might return to their hometowns.","PeriodicalId":101506,"journal":{"name":"The Annals of Japan Association for Urban Sociology","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124236377","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, we review the discussion of the symposium held at the 36th Japan Association for Urban Sociology Annual Meeting in September 2018 and further explore some research agendas regarding urban sociological research on Japanese second cities. While most global city researchers have focused their analysis on global first-ranked cities, e.g. New York, London, Paris and Tokyo, but, recently, some researchers have begun re-aligning their academic interests towards second-rank cities in the global urban hierarchy and subsequently tracing the peculiar historical developmental paths of urban growth and associated policy challenges. Our special articles consider the growth strategies and policy challenges facing such second cities in Japan, namely, Osaka and Nagoya, and a leading example of an European second city, Barcelona. Through our discussions of the special issues, we introduce a new frontier of urban sociological research on large Japanese cities.","PeriodicalId":101506,"journal":{"name":"The Annals of Japan Association for Urban Sociology","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121190621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Osaka City needs to network with Kyoto City and Kobe City and play a role as a central management city in the Kinki area.
