本研究的目的是了解名古屋市与当代城市社会结构转型相关的城市住区政策的发展。名古屋市从70年代后期开始实施的城市居住政策，从80年代后期开始成为社会总体规划的重要内容。本研究考察了这一政策的历史进程，并分析了其现状。有人澄清说，它们正在应对中心城市人口增长率下降的问题，更重要的是，它们面向再城市化政策，以应对伴随着去工业化和城市人口老龄化的去城市化趋势。从人口学和社会经济学的角度，进一步分析了城市社会结构本身从工业化和城市化阶段，到郊区化和服务经济阶段，再到老龄化和信息化阶段的转变;并论证了它与中心城市社会空间结构的形成和变化有着重要的联系。摘要为了分析城市生活的微观社会结构，本文选取了代表城市社会空间结构类型的四个学区进行社会网络调查。结果证实，前躯体网络受到社会经济、家庭和生态状况的多维度影响。收集到的数据量巨大，内容丰富。虽然报告的调查结果有限，但有理论重点的分析将产生富有成果的调查结果。

The purpose of the research is to understand the development of urban settlement policies in Nagoya City in connection to contemporary transformation of urban social structure. The urban settlement policy started in late 1970s in Nagoya City has become an important element of the general social planning since late 1980s. The research investigated the historical process of the policies and analyzed their current status. It was clarified that they are coping with declining rate of population growth in the central city and, more essentially, they are oriented to re-urbanization policies against the de-urbanization trends accompanied by de-industrialization and aging urban population. We analyzed further the transformation of urban social structure itself in terms of its demographic and socio-economic dimensions from industrialization-and-urbanization phase, via a phase of suburbanization and service economy, to an aging and informational phase ; and demonstrated that it has an significant connection with the formation and change of socio-spatial structure of the central city.Also, in order to analyze micro social structure of urban life, a social network survey was conducted in four school districts which were selected to represesnt the types of districts derived from our analysis of socio-spatial structure of the city. As a result, it was confirmed that presonal networks were affected multi-dimensionallya by socioeconomic, family, and ecological statuses respondents held. Collected data was huge and had affluent contents. Though reported findings were limited, theoretically focused analyzes would yield fruitful findings.
