The General Researches into advanced aging and life selections -Compareing with Hokuriku- and Tokai Districts

我们感兴趣的是先进老龄化社会的变化以及对金泽和冈崎城市的比较研究，这些城市在文化、传统和人口规模方面相似。现代社会是“风险社会”。我们通过老年人生活方式的个人化的事实来理解区域社会中出现的风险。本研究的对象试图把握他们在工作、生活和生活中的现状，这些问题对于社区的“现实方法”来说是重要和紧迫的。但是，社区是空洞的吗？我们在人们生活的研究中考察社区复兴的主题，而不是空洞的理论。支持网络和亲密关系如何？根据金泽市社区复兴委员会的建议，我们必须努力维护内部/边缘地区的地方环境(制度建设、社区领袖培训和行动场所建设)。削弱地区团结是非常困难的。全球化太引人注目了。我们于1998年11~12月在金泽市和冈崎市进行了问卷调查。它对2000名年龄在40岁以上和80岁以下的居民进行了调查。受访者的比例为63.8%(在两个城市)，结果和分析由每个作者在研究结果报告中报告

We are interested in changing of the advanced aging societies and comparative researches on Kanazawa-and Okazaki cities, These cities resemble in regard to cultures, traditions and sizes of populations. The modern societies are 'Risk societies'. We understand advent of risks in regional societies by facts of individualization in lifestyles of persons of advanced age. The objects of this researches try to grasp the present conditions in their working, leosure and living together, These problems are important and urgent in regard with 'reality approach' of community.In general, hollow of inner areas (center districts of cities) is pointed by dynamics of populations/households. But, are communities hollow ? We examine the themes of revival of communities in studying of peoples lives, not hollow theory. How are networks of support and intimacy ?In the basis of proposal by committee of Kanazawa Community revival in Kanazawa city, we must strive to maintain local environments in inner/fringe areas (system-making, training of community-leaders and action-places making). It is great difficult in weaking of regional solidarity. Globalization is too being remarkable. Many persons of advanced aging are healthy and potential, not the weak.We tried the survey(by questionnaires) in Kanazawa city and Okazaki city in Nov. 〜Dec. in 1998. Its survey was made on 2,000 residents of over forty and under eighty. The rate of respondents was 63.8%(in both cities), The results and analyses are being reported by each writers in the research results report
