A Sociological inquiry in a Positivistic View into Social Integration Theory and Its Practical Logic Applicable in Japanese Socio-Cultural Context of 'Risk Society'

日本社会是一个高度现代化的社会，被认为是一个风险社会，因此本研究旨在从实证的角度探讨在风险社会环境下社会和/或社区对他人的接受所产生的问题。这一社会学研究特别试图从理论上解释风险社会的当前社会文化背景，在这种社会背景下，由于缺乏接受而加剧的社会多样化，社会学调查的目的是接近美国贝西克关于反思性现代化的论点中所显示的“政治化和亚政治化”概念中的问题。该研究分三年进行：第一年，全面总结前人关于社会接受、风险社会和反思性现代化的研究，为社会调查构建工作假设；在第二年，我们构建了问卷来证明假设，并对人们的价值关注进行了网络调查；在第三年，我们试图通过研究调查结果来构建他人的社会或社区接受理论或构建对社区有麻烦的理论，并在其他方面解释了传统社区关系对社会或社区中他人的积极理解和接受的一种因果关系。

Japanese society, a highly modernized society, is assumed to be a risk society, and thus this study aims to investigate in a positivistic view problematics produced in social and/or community acceptance of others under the risk society surroundings. This sociological study tries in particular to explicate theoretically a current socio-cultural contexts of a risk society in which social diversification due to lack of the acceptance is intensified, the sociological investigation which aims to approach to the problematics in the concepts of 'politicization and sub-politicization' shown in the U. Becik's argument of reflexive modernization. It is performed in the three years-process : in the first year, it fully summarizes, to construct working hypotheses for a social survey, the previous studies concerning the social acceptance and the risk society and reflexive modernization ; in the second year, we constructed a questionnaire to prove hypotheses, and executed a web survey on the people's value concern ; and in the third year, we tried to construct a theory of the social or the community acceptances of others or constructs troublesome to community by studying the result of the survey, and we explicated among others a type of causal relation of traditional community relations to a positive understanding and acceptance of others in society or a community.
