Empirical Research on Community Informatics and Civic Collaboration in Suburban Tokyo

本研究旨在探讨东京郊区城市社区信息与公民协作如何相互联系，重点关注三高市SOHO CITY的政策。分析该政策实施的历史过程和现状，我们发现，在近十年来新自由主义重构的背景下，该政策实现了超出预期的目标，对城镇公民活力的贡献大于对城市收入的贡献，但未能找到一条明确的地方经济内生发展之路。

This study aimed to explore how community informatics and civic collaboration have connected each other in a suburban municipality in Tokyo, focusing on the policy of SOHO CITY in Mitaka City. Analyzing the historical process and current conditions of the policy implementation, we found that the policy has achieved its goals more than expected against a backdrop of the neo-liberal restructuring for the past decade, contributing more to the civic vitalization of the town than to the revenue of the city, but being unable to find the unambiguous way to endogenous development of the local economy.
