Abstract

This research examines the potential of a multilayered intermediary system for the acceptance of immigrants in Ayabe City, Kyoto Prefecture. Previously, single intermediaries faced difficulties in meeting the needs of immigrants as well as those of the local people, because they did not have a sufficient number of houses to rent or sell and could not select a suitable immigrant who would settle effortlessly into the community. The study area considered here is Ayabe City, Kyoto Prefecture, which has 3 intermediaries, namely, Ayabe City, nonprofit organizations (NPOs), and local people. The conclusions of the study are as follows: (1) All intermediaries cannot collect sufficient information on vacant houses directly from the house owners. (2) Ayabe City and the NPOs are efficient at collecting immigrant information because of their wide presence within and outside the city. (3) The local people and the NPOs are efficient at finding vacant houses for immigrants since they are in contact with the house owners and the local people.<br>
