The purpose of this article is to clarify the way of symbiosis between a city and a manufacturing company,based on a case study of Kasugai city, Aichi Prefecture and Oji Paper Co.,Ltd..By focusing on changes that occur in `administration,inhabitants and company'relationships,I can grasp the transformation in a local area as a shift from unitary management by a local government to local governance which is based on a gentle network of diverse subjects. Actually such local governance can be realized only after its accountability is established publicly.This article examines i)disclosures of environmental issues for public participation,and ii)monitoring & evaluation functions as a feedback for environmental information.I argue that accountability is the key concept of public disclosure and monitoring & evaluation of information. Through an analysis of three examples;pollution resolution process of a paper mill,transformation of a neighborhood protest movement,and present conditions of a PRTR system,It is argued that accountability is a basis for a symbiotic relationship between a city and a private corporation,and that,then,the relationship is shifting from a vertical one to a more horizontal one.

Since the late 1980s, many urban restructuring researchers interested in Tokyo have inquired impacts of economic globalization approached by world/global city hypothesis. This paper reviews these researches and clarifies research agenda for transformation of urban restructuring in Tokyo under the impact of neoliberal state reform in the late 1990s and 2000s. Some researchers, especially with Regulationist approach, have pointed out Tokyo’s particularity of urban economic and social structure derived from the postwar Japanese “Toyotaist” regulatory regime and the Japanese “developmental” state, compared with New York and London under the North Atlantic Fordist regime and Keynesian welfare state. However, Japanese postwar regime and state have started changing since the crash of bubble economy and the economic turmoil in the “lost decade”. Company welfarism in Toyotaist regime has collapsed and the state apparatus in developmental state has experienced drastic restructuring in the late 1990s and 2000s. For understanding the urban restructuring of Tokyo under the impact of neoliberalism, we must capture the regime shift, state restructuring, and these effects to the economic and social structure of the city. Therefore, we focus attention on theoretical and methodological framework of “neoliberalizing city” researches by European and American urban scholars. This paper makes a point of the potential utility of this framework and discusses some points for the Japanese “neolibelarizing” urban restructuring.

According to the previous studies on Toyota automobile workers, they would not participate in social activities, for they are forced to work hard under pressure featuring Toyotism and alienated from their neighborhoods, which are dominated by old residents. However, owing to structural changes around local communities in recent years, Toyota workers have gradually formed intimate ties in their neighborhoods, have begun actively participating in various residential activities. Based on data from a questionnaire survey conducted in 2009, the present paper illustrates and examines how far automobile workers in Toyota commit themselves to residential/civic activities and it is the accumulation of social networks embedded in local communities that has caused this change.

Thirty years have passed since the establishment of Japan Association for Urban Sociology in 1982. Until that time, Japan had experienced huge migration from rural area to metropolitan region, as well as rapid economic growth. Urbanization and its impacts on social, economic, and political life caused many tensions and problems in expanding urban areas, which certainly required a new type of knowledge for understanding and solution from a structural point of view. Urban sociology as a way of thinking was one of such attempts to answer these questions. From its beginning, a variety of thoughts, such as Chicago School. Marxian tradition, and New Urban Sociology, went into this emerging discipline in Japan. As its result, urban sociology, as an intellectual arena, was always filled with controversies and tensions among different schools and scholars. In addition, since its institutional establishment, urban sociology has faced with a kind of "identity crisis," due to coming of post-urbanization situation. What is a research question specific for "urban" sociology in this highly-urbanized country? For instance, globalization was one of major factors which brought distinctive features to Japanese cities, but its impacts were actually mediated and transformed by more complex sets of global, national, regional, and local factors. This article tries to describe and evaluate historical development of this discipline in Japan since 1960s, which has always sought for key questions under ongoing changes in cities.

The purpose of this paper is to consider how to connect the memories in Tama Newtown that divided by the development. To connect this discontinuity, I carried out two exhibitions as a curator; one was about the process of development of Tama Newtown, and the other was about the history of Ochiai Hakusan Shrine that located in the central area of Tama Newtown. Through these exhibitions, it turned out to be significant to know the process of the development in detail and the experience of the people who faced the development.
