The purpose of this paper is to describe the process in which residential close alleys developed into the global hub for clothing design by using the case study of Jingu-mae, in Shibuya, Tokyo, and to discuss this transformation from a standpoint of Urban Sociology. Since the 1990s, self-employed clothing designers have established the offices on the close alleys in Jingu-mae. Originally, these close alleys were for local residents. However, in the early 1990s, after the asset-inflated bubble burst, these close alleys began to be transformed into the global hub for self-employed clothing designers. The reason of this transformation is as follows. During the 1980s, when land prices went sky-high, many local residents who could not pay the rising fixed property tax moved out to other areas. On the other hand, some residents scrapped their house and rebuilt the low-rise and low-rents commercial buildings owned by them. So these buildings attracted some clothing designers, and they have gathered in these alleys and made a base for clothing design. They have a global network specialized for clothing design. And they have created advanced style with high knowledge and skills. So some large clothing companies, attracted by self-employed designers, made business alliance with them. Thus, these large companies could buy new design and sell it as a latest fad clothing. As a result, the close alleys in Jingu-mae have become as a global science park for design of clothing. The academic significance of this research is as follows. The first significance is to focus on the global network of self-employed designers, and focus on the new role as a global science park for clothing design of the close alleys in Jingu-mae. The second significance is to discuss these findings from a standpoint of income gap among Producer Services in the Global City.

This paper is a manuscript of the report, for the 30 annual session of Japan Association for Urban Sociology, on September 9, 2012. It pointed out several points that seems to be important for the further discussion , and raised the issues, by looking back the empirical researches on social networks and personal networks of mine until now. Especially it focused on, and discussed about following points: the necessity to make a clear distinction between kinship and kin networks, the possibility to unite the theory of urban life-structure and the one of personal networks, the issue about viewing neighborhood networks, the issue about homogeneity of friendship networks in Japan, and the further subject about friendship networks.

In suburban residental areas symbolized by Tama-Newtown, many issues are made by inhabitant that renewal plan don’t smooth. In the background, documents of initial development process don’t exist and early development memories are devided. This paper discusses inter-reference of memories in oralhistory that will be resouuces of smart decision in future development by steakholders, especially inhabitants.

In an increasingly aging society, it has become more important to examine factors that enhance quality of lives for senior residents, especially those who live in suburbs, where neighborliness tends to be weak. The researcher observed a running event called 5K Race in an American metropolitan suburb as the case study. This neighborhood event had huge involvement of people from a wide range of generations. The senior volunteers in the event were focused on this paper. The researcher assumed that those inclusive events were essential to senior residents’ quality of lives because they could facilitate positive interaction and sympathy among residents and they could also generate proper roles for participants, all of which could strengthen a sense of community. Through interviews and questionnaires to the organizer, volunteers, runners, and other residents, the researcher picked out several factors that affected the involvement of a wide range of generations in the event. Then the significance of the event for the volunteers was examined using the theory of Sense of Community by McMillan & Chavis[1986]. The findings were that the senior volunteers of 5K Race got involved in the event as helpful people in the neighborhood and enhanced their quality of lives in the process of shouldering various responsibilities of the tasks because it offered them dynamic interaction and plentiful positive roles. The researcher concluded that it’s significant for suburban neighborhoods to create such events to give senior residents these inclusive opportunities.
