Over the past 20-30 years, there has been an increasing interest in preserving machiya (traditional wooden townhouses) in Kyoto. Nishijin, a famed and historic weaving district, has undergone one of the most dramatic examples of neighborhood change in Japan with regard to commercial renovation of traditional townhouses. Since the late 1990s, the machiya boom has seen multiple stages of expansion by numerous actors. Initially, it was only a grassroots movement by a few individuals, but local government and real estate developers began to champion the movement alongside the rise of machiya’s social and cultural value. Under new urban policy goals, machiya, which had previously been considered obsolete, turned into a symbol of Kyoto’s authentic landscape. Furthermore, the popularity of machiya encouraged reinvestment and conversion of use, stimulating both the real estate market and the tourist industry. Consequently, machiya was revived as an experiential art form compared with industrial housing production. Although previous researchers have emphasized the contribution of the machiya boom to Kyoto’s landscape preservation, this article discusses the risk of expanding destination culture as a result of machiya preservation and renovation. Strict building regulations under current urban policy may restrain gentrification from new building, but there is a limitation on how much control can be exerted over machiya commercialization regarding the loss of the culture and history that was part of everyday life in old Kyoto.","PeriodicalId":101506,"journal":{"name":"The Annals of Japan Association for Urban Sociology","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130349747","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 paper adopts a concept ‘pluralistic collectivity’ [C. Geertz] as a core of the philosophy of the social structure in Bali and deal with four case studies, local security, gated community, traditional small green space, and mobilities of Japanese lifestyle migrants. The local security systems are established based on pluralistic collectivity by local people. They contribute to making new local images or multicultural activities of local security. The case of the gated communities and traditional small green space are evaluated as the ‘border spaces’ with the plurality. Japanese lifestyle migrants exist between immigration and tourism. Besides, from the viewpoints of residential mobility and daily mobility, This paper clarifies their ways of using the gated communities, which increase the possibility of their mobilities. Through the re-evaluation of the four case studies from the perspective of Michihiro Okuda’s urban studies, the importance of constituting society from the ‘border spaces’ and of the continuous ‘reflection’ or ‘elaboration’ is proposed.","PeriodicalId":101506,"journal":{"name":"The Annals of Japan Association for Urban Sociology","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130511972","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}

It specifically analyzes the community discourse propounded by a leading Japanese urban planner, Tadashi Higasa (1920-1997). After sketching his biography, it presents a review of his research activities at the Department of Urban Planning, Ministry of Construction, and the Department of Urban Engineering at the University of Tokyo. In addition, the development, practical application, and acceptance of Higasa’s community concept are analyzed. Based on the findings of the analysis, two key points are clarified. First, Higasa’s community concept can be seen to have been strongly influenced by community concepts within sociology. Second, within the domain of urban planning research, acceptance of Higasa’s community concept and its practical applications are evident within community and residential district planning. While conforming to the community concept within sociology, Higasa postulated his own theory of community considered within the framework of urban planning. While not neglecting the notion of community based on human life, he sought to integrate the community concept within practical and tangible urban planning. In conclusion, the findings of this study contribute to a better understanding of how Higasa’s successors in the field of urban planning related to his community concept and to a rethinking of the community concept among Japanese sociologists.","PeriodicalId":101506,"journal":{"name":"The Annals of Japan Association for Urban Sociology","volume":"244 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131778864","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 expansion was accompanied by the polarization of Metropolitan Areas. In Tokyo, economic disparity of 23 wards expanded rapidly in 80s. However this disparity reduced temporarily in first half of 90s, because of collapse of bubble economy, expanded again in last half of 90s, and expansion continues until today. In this processes of expansion of economic disparity, socio-spatial structure of Tokyo has changed. On the base of 4-classes scheme, which consists of capitalist, new middle, working and old middle classes, these changes are analysed. From 80s, old middle class dramatically decreased in whole area of Tokyo, especially in central and inner city areas. And in 90s, capitalist class started to decrease in whole area of Tokyo, especially in central area. In these processes, composition of old middle class and capitalist class changed, from family business to one-man management and corporate business. In the result, population of central and inner city area decreased in 80s and 90s. In 00s, new middle class started to flow in central and inner city areas. They filled up the blank of old middle class and small capitalist class, and became the new central player of Tokyo. However this chain of processes can be called gentrification, in the sence that there was some time lag between the exit of old player and emergence of new player, this may be called ‘time-lagged gentrification’, which means bloodless revolution by new middle class.","PeriodicalId":101506,"journal":{"name":"The Annals of Japan Association for Urban Sociology","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114480068","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}
