基于一项为期十年的研究项目，本文考察了东京市中心地区亚洲移民的过程。从1988年到1998年，亚洲移民从旅居者变成了定居者。观察到了亚洲移民的三个不同阶段。第一阶段的特点是亚洲移民越来越集中在市中心，其中大部分是年轻的未婚中国人。在第二阶段，那些已经在日本的人开始邀请其他家人和朋友加入他们的行列。在这一过程中，族裔社区蔓延到毗邻的郊区；社会服务和支助系统也得到发展，以满足日益增长的社区的需要。在第三阶段中观察到的一些过程是市中心日益多样化，以及一些群体，如中国人和台湾人获得日本公民身份。亚洲移民的新阶段可能会出现，这可能意味着日本城市社会的进一步变化。
Based on a ten-year research project, this paper examines the process of Asian immigration in Tokyo's inner city areas. Between 1988 and 1998, Asian immigrants have changed from sojourners to settlers. Three distinct stages of Asian immigration had been observed. The first stage was marked by the growing concentration of Asian immigrants in the inner city, the majority of whom were young, unmarried Chinese. During the second stage, those already in Japan started to send for other family members and friends to join them. In the process, ethnic communities spilled over to the adjoining suburbs; social services and support systems also developed to meet the needs of the growing communities. Some of the processes observed during the third stage are increasing diversification of the inner city and the acquisition of Japanese citizenship for some groups such as the Chinese and Taiwanese. New phases of Asian immigration are likely to emerge which may imply further changes for Japanese urban society.
