Differentiation and Complex of Functions of Urban sub-area within Nagoya Metropolitan Region and Reorganization of Community Life

在为期两年的研究中，研究的内容和结果如下：迄今为止，对东海地区的社会文化特征进行了长期的研究，成果有《地区社会学》（1979）、《东海地区社会论》（1986）等。考虑到这一点，我们的研究集中在东海地区的核心城市名古屋。研究考虑了城市产业结构的变化、居住生活方式的变化、城市功能的区域分化以及对区域复杂性的把握。首先，我们分析了名古屋的地域特征。该研究强调单元分析，为此，每个行政区域划分了不同的学区。在对这些信息进行详细分析之后，就进行了“主成分分析”。下一步，我们客观地从4个行政区域中选择了4个学区。从这些抽样单位中，抽取了1979个样本来研究该地区人民的意识和态度（调查人数：1761人，回答率：89%）。通过对居民特征的分析，了解到居住家庭、社区生活和政治兴趣对该地区的形成和发展产生了重大影响。结果表明：首先，近年来城市功能的发展不仅促使了东京都市圈与其他地区的分化，而且促使了每个地区内部的区域分化。其次，这些现象产生了社会区域间城市功能复杂性的必然性。

The contents and results of the study which has been conducted in the period of two years are stated below:1. Until now, for a long time have been studying the social and cultural characteristics of the Tokai Region and results have been presented as "Sociology of Region"(1979), "on 'Tokai Region' Society"(1986) etc. Keeping this in mind, our study focussed on Nagoya, the core city of the Tokai Region. The study has considered change of urban industrial structure, dwellings way of life, regional differentiation of urban functions and grasp of complexity in the region.2. First, we have analysed the regional characteristics of Nagoya. The study emphasized on unit analysis and to do this, each administrative district has been devided different school districts. And after scrutinizing the information, 'principal component analysis' has been done.3. In the next step, we objectively selected 4 school districts from 4 administrative districts. From those sampling units, 1979 samples have been drawn to study the consciousness and attitudes of the people in the area (number of respondent:1761, percentage of response:89%). By analysing the characteristics of the residents, it has been understood that dwelling family, community life and interest on politics have greatly influenced the formation and development of the region.4. Finally, we can present results as follows: Firstly, the recent advancement of urban function urges not only the differentiation between Tokyo metropolitan area and other areas, but also the areal differentiation within each area. Secondly, those phenomena yield necessity of complexity of urban function among societal region.
