Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to consider the transformation of local community and its pressing problems through the relations between rural community and resident foreigners, especially foreign wives, on the basis of the case-study of a rural town in the southern part of Akita prefecture: Ugo Town. In rural community there is the problem of depopulation, especially shortage of labor and unmarried women, which is quite different from urban community. The population of foreigners in Akita prefecture is 4,648 and 50.1%of it is Chinese. There live 110 foreigners, including 41 foreigners who have the resident status as 'the wife of Japanese' in Ugo Town (according to 2003 statistics). This paper shows that the different processes how to come to Japan causes the segregation within the same ethnicity, and foreign wives have different problems in everyday life depending on the relationship with their families, the degree of proficiency of Japanese, the age of their children. As a forward-looking agenda on the local community. this paper also suggests the importance of multi-cultural education.
