RESEARCH OF CONSUMERS' COOPERATION TOWARD POST-FORDISM

本研究聚焦于名古屋大都会与白川区域城市的消费者合作，特别是在后福特主义方面的行为与活动。我们进行了如下的研究：(1)合作的历史。(2)合作社参与消费活动的程度。(3)与其他社会运动建立联系。(4)与直接交易运动联网。(5)农民的期望和评价。研究结果表明，都市合作在理想的“合作”基础、“汉”圈、食物供给等方面与区域合作相似。然而，他们的不同之处在于：前者的成员全部属于“汉族”，而后者只有20%。前者最初采用联合采购式供应方式，后者采用接单式供应方式。解决社会问题的行动由前者的成员独立采取，而后者则是组织活动的一个独特部分。以后我们将更详细地进行这项研究。

This study focusses on consumers' cooperations in the metropolis of Nagoya and the regional city of Shirakawa, particulary on their behavior and activities with regard to post-fordism.The research we have conducted as follows : (1) Historys of the cooperations. (2) Degree of participation of the cooperations in consumer activities. (3) Networking with other social movements. (4) Networking with the direct transaction movement. (5) Expectations and evaluations by farmers.The result of research shows that the metropolitan cooperation is similar to the regional cooperation in terms of the ideal "cooperative" basis, the "Han" circle and provision of food.Nevertheless, they are different in the following points : All of the formers' members belong to "Han", but only 20% of the latter. The former adopts the joint purchase type method at first, but the latter adopts the order-taker type supplies system. Action for the resolution of social problems is independently taken by the formers' members, while it is a distinct part of the organisations activitiy in the latter.We are hereafter going to carry out this research in more detail.
