This study explores the relation between sports mega-events and the making of Gangnam in South Korea after the 1980s. This paper comprises a historical examination of urban planning processes and a case study focusing on the strategies and experiences of residents who has been purchasing apartments. The hosting of 1986 Asian Games and the 1988 Olympics triggered construction business, such as urban infrastructure and increasing housing supply. In particular, Jam-sil, Seoul was the site of huge construction projects that entailed the main stadium, Olympic parks, and athletes’ villages. The structure of housing supply has a shift from state-led development to property-led development, namely, the Joint Redevelopment Program ( JRP). The term Gangnamization is a concept used to describe a strong relationship among apartment, education fever, and shopping center for the urban middle class. However, the research results suggest that speculative urbanization in urban middle class will lead to a financial crisis.

This paper focuses on the local people’s reaction and community movement against the agents’ assault of buying up small plots of land around Tokyo downtown areas for consolidation and resale during the period of 1980s bubble economy in Japan. At first I describe the research method and fact-findings of our field survey we did at that time around Tokyo downtown areas. Landscape and social change of those neighborhoods was so drastic and so huge that the transformation of those neighborhoods was thought to be directly related to the fundamental industrial and cultural change toward so to speak an international and information-oriented society. In some areas local people couldn’t do anything against those agents’ working scheme, but in some other areas community people’s effort to continue living seemed to be partly successful regardless of the landscape change. So we could categorize those neighborhoods into several groups based on the location of the neighborhood in the city and community’s cooperative effort, and social effects of the urban renewal process were different from group to group. The population of those neighborhoods had continued to decrease for more than thirty years due to the so-called donut phenomenon, but since 1995 (i.e. several years after the babble economy), the population has increased there because, corresponding to people's tendency for living in city centers, conditions of the residential area have been improved and an increasing number of condominiums have been constructed. After describing the mechanism of those changes, I discuss what social meanings those changes of social atmosphere had in the long run.

In this paper we focused on the settlement process and mobility after the Great East-Japan Earthquake 2011. The experiences of people affected by the tsunami just after the Great Earthquake which attacked especially one of the most depopulated areas in Japan show a lot of problems of evacuation for aged and/or handicapped people. There the percentage of aged people over 65-year-old was much higher than the average throughout the country, and the death rate of aged people caused by the tsunami was much higher. This meant that the devastated situation after this disaster symbolize the future of disaster impact in Japan. Based on the analysis of the evacuation process we can find what we ought to prepare in advance for natural disasters. In order to find the way to cope with the situation we have to pay more attention to the long-term forming processes of vulnerability and resilience and to the reduction cycle of the effects of natural disasters in the areas. That is because the difficulties of their evacuation processes are closely related to the difficulties they experienced in their everyday lives, their family’s living conditions and their social vulnerability. They might be reluctant to evacuate to the place where they didn’t think they could keep their health and feel relieved. So we have to consider in advance what kind of care we could do and what situation would develop there. In regard to this point we may well think about the lifestyle of multi-habitation as one lifestyle people can choose pre/ during/after the severe event.
