A research on Koreans in local society in Japan - focused on their networks and mobility, and interaction in community

本研究的目的是对居住在当地的日本朝鲜族人进行民族志研究，重点研究他们的生活史、生活方式和社区互动。对于当地的韩国人，除了有一部分曾居住在东京、大阪、横滨等大城市外，我们对当地的韩国人知之甚少。因此，我们在福冈、樱里、鸟取市、鸟取县、神户、富山、仙台、岐阜县、秋田县等地进行了实地考察。并由每个地方的研究人员进行长期的调查，整个研究小组进行短期的调查，从多方面对数据进行验证，研究的结果不仅填补了这类民族志资料的空白，而且展示了日本朝鲜族人的生活艺术和多样性，通过当地朝鲜族人在当地社区之间形成的网络组织起来，与日本居民之间的互动。我们的研究揭示了韩国人在当地社区之外的流动性以及基于韩国人在当地社区中的勒本斯维尔网络的重要性。此外，在我们的研究过程中，我们发现在日本的韩国人通过亲情和友谊构建了更广泛的网络，以支持他们在当地与东京、大阪等大城市之间的高流动性。
