The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors that have disrupted the healthy eating behaviors of the elderly. We supposed that there were two main factors, which were inadequate access to food and weak ties with family and the local community. In the local city that was composed of urban and rural area, these two factors were expected to cause the elderly residents a poor nutritional condition. An empirical study was conducted in City A that is located in the northern part of Tokyo metropolitan area. Logistic regression analyses were adopted. The dependent variable was “dietary diversity score”, and independent variables were “sex”, “age”, “income”, “family members living together”, “need of assistance”, “spending daytime alone”, “eating a meal with someone”, “the distance to supermarkets”, and “the frequency of participation in some hobby-related groups”. The results of logistic regression analyses showed that the dietary diversity scores of the elderly who lived in the area far from the supermarket were lower. Although controlling this effect, “the frequency of participation in some hobby-related groups” was statistically significant. These results suggested that inadequate access to food and weak ties with family and the local community have disrupted the healthy eating behaviors of the elderly.

This article seeks to clarify the role of cultural production in the manufacturing industry and its spatial restructuring through the case study of “Mono-Machi” movement: the community development through the manufacturing rejuvenation lead by the local manufacturers in Taito, Tokyo. It is an attempt to form a new business relationship and to put high added value on the local product through the place branding. This article analyses that movement as a socio-spatial transformation of post-industrial urban economy.

This paper reveals the transformation from a manufacturing base for military and school uniform into a manufacturing hub of the world for high quality casual clothing, and discusses this transformation from a stand point of urban sociology. The research object is Kojima area, Kurashiki city, Okayama Prefecture, West Japan. Kojima was salt field until 1580’s. After the reclamation projects in the Seto Inland Sea, Kojima area moved toward a transformation into cultivation area of cotton until 1800’s. In addition, after the WWI, Kojima area developed as a manufacturing base of army uniform. Furthermore, after the WWII, Kojima developed as a manufacturing base of school uniform. However, in the decades after 1970, local economy of Kojima declined due to excess production of school uniform. So that, some manufactures in Kojima area shifted to production of high quality clothing made by denim, with their original technologies and new design skills. These shifts have made a success due to increase the demand for high quality clothing from the design sectors in Paris, Milan, London, New York and other major cities in the world. In conclusion, this paper discusses this regional transformation from a stand point of urban studies. Therefore, we will understand that contemporary urban clothing culture developing not only based on design sector in the global cities, but also manufacturing sector in the local cities of western Japan.

It has been a central question of sociology how social ties had been affected through modernization. And then, urban sociology focusing on ‘urbanization and community’ took over the problem, and gave answers that communities were lost, saved or liberated. In this study, we focus on the conditions of the emergence of urban communities as symbolism. Therefore, I conduct a case study of Shinjuku-Okubo district, an inner city of Tokyo, through the methodology of Activity Approach. This study describes and analyzes the activities of Kyojukon, a citizen’s group having acted in the district since 1992, and then, I remake two research questions: 1) Is it sure that the activities of Kyojukon have ambivalent moments, structuration with increasing homogeneity, and fluidization with increasing heterogeneity? 2) Is it identified as the condition of the emergence of an urban community that the link of collective events has been derived from the activities? In conclusion, this study leaves notes of future tasks of writing an urban ethnography.
