Abstract

After a long period of suburbanization, Japanese metropolis have regained population and experienced re-urbanization ever since 2000. The fall of land price due to recession and the decrease of demand for office spaces in central city areas induced the construction of large scale condominiums, which brought huge number of new residents into the areas. Using questionnaires with new residents, we examined how the demographic transformation in the areas affected local communities, focusing on the relationships between new residents and old ones. We found that new residents are generally indifferent toward Community-based organizations. New residents , specially one room apartment dwellers tend to have little concern for the community and cherish privacy. This discord makes it difficult to nurture better understanding among them.
