- Trends of Nepalese Migrants in JapanIn recent years, Nepalese in Japan have been rapidly increasing. This study intends to clarify the trend of the Nepalese migrants and its socio-economic factors referring to preceding studies and various statistical data.Historically migrants from Nepal mainly outflowed to India. Foreign Employment Act introduced in 1985 led to an opening Nepalese labors to the world. The number of Nepalese migrants was limited in hundreds of thousands levels, while the ratio to India decreased at the time of 2001 census. The political situation becomes stable owing to the peace agreement of the civil war of Nepal in 2006 and conversion of Kingdom into Federation Democratic Republic in 2008.Then the Governemnt of Nepal enacted new Foreign Employment Act in 2007 and introduced Foreign Employment policy in 2012. These migration policies have improved the circumstances of Nepalese migrants. As globalization proceeds, the number of Nepalese migrants estimated to be more than 2 million people in 2014/15 year. The remittance from abroad estimated at 27.7% of Nepalese GDP which accounted for an extremely large proportion in Nepalese economy.Destinations of Nepalese migrants are India, Middle Eastern oil-producing countries as well as ASEAN countries. In late years the migrants to Malaysia have increased rapidly. Although Nepalese in Japan is only 0.2% of the whole Nepalese abroad, Japan became the largest destination for studying abroad. We examined the characteristics of Nepalese migrants in Japan comparing with the migrants from South Asian nations. As a result, Nepalese migrants in Japan have increased rapidly, the number is the largest among those from Southern Asian countries and twice as Indians in Japan. The main 'status of residence' of Nepalese is "study"(37.0%, 2015), and that of, " Engineer/Humanities/ International Services" is only 3.7%. Status of "Skilled Labor", mostly cooks in Indian restaurants, shows a significant ratio in both Nepalese and Indians. Nepalese are slightly younger than Indians. Both of them mostly lives in Tokyo, but the most distinctive feature of Nepalese is large population in Fukuoka and Okinawa prefectures. This study found that this feature has a strong connection with Japanese language schools in both prefectures. In addition to these results, this study points out two important research tasks from now on; 1) Investigating the situation of Nepalese students in Japanese language schools and of their part-time jobs as well as their future after graduating from the schools, 2) Investigating 'Little Nepal', which will be a new ethnic community, in Suginami-district, Tokyo associated with newly established Nepalese School.Center for Okinawa Migration Studies, Aug. 2017, IMMIGRATION STUDIES, (13) (13), 23 - 48, Japanese, No password[Refereed]Scientific journal

- Japanese rural areas have experienced deep socio-economic changes since the rapid economic growth period after World War II. Since the 1970s a new type of community, a “rurban (rural/urban) village, ” has appeared in the suburbs. This area has been accepting of newcomers. And farm households in this area tend to diminish or to abandon their farming. As a result, the rural community has been changed by both inside and outside factors.The Association of Japanese Geographers, Oct. 1990, Geographical review of Japan. Ser.A, 63(10) (10), 653 - 675, Japanese, No password
This paper aims to examine the structure of rural community in the rurban village, focusing upon the mixture of established residents and newcomers. The results obtained in this paper are as follows:
The study area, Nakanakajoshi, is located in the northern suburbs of Hiroshima city. In spite of its intensive agriculture, this area has been accepting newcomers who reside in either owned or rented houses since the 1970s. This steady flow of immigration causes urban encroachment on farm land.
Farm household management has diversified into several types: intensive agriculture, real estate, or non-agricultural employment by urban industries. The newcomers can be divided into two types: permanent dwellers, who wish to dwell eternally, and temporary dwellers, who wish to move again in a few years.
The author tests the significance of differences among types of inhabitant for participation in neighborhood groups, participation in local activities and for local consciousness. Large differ-ences are seen between established residents and newcomers. Moreover, intra differences can be seen in every type. The factors associated with a difference in every type are the style of agricul-tural management in the established residents and the will of establishing in the newcomers.
The following 5 types are found in this analysis.
1. Established residents
1. Farm households engaged in intensive agriculture. They are extremely interested in local affairs and play a leading part in local autonomy, cooperative projects, and festivals, They are eager to have contact with both other established residents and newcomers. They oppose improving the infrastructure when it requires their own farmland, even though there are serious problems with the lack of infrastructure facilities such as roads, parks, and community centers.
2. Commuting farm households. They are concerned about local affairs and eager to have con-tact with other established residents but not with newcomers. They, like the following three types of residents, are not content with the present state of the infrastructure.
3. Non-farm established residents. They don't take a positive attitude toward local affairs such as agricultural cooperative projects or cleaning an irrigation channel. They are not eager to have contact with either established residents or newcomers. II, Newcomers
4. Permanent dwellers. They are more interested in local affairs than temporary dwellers. Some of them try to make contact with established residents by attending the KOH, the Buddhist neighborhood meeting, and try to blend in with the established residents.
5. Temporary dwellers. They are indifferent to local affairs, because they plan to move again in a few years.
Farm households engaged in an intensive agriculture take the leadership in the rural communi-ty, though they are no longer in the majority. In particular, rural self-government organizations cannot function, or traditional local events be held, without them. Therefore, it can be said that even though the “metropolitan village” will accept newcomers, the function of rural self-governing organizations and traditional local events can be maintained only as long as there are farm house-holds engaged in intensive agriculture in rural communities.
Newcomers tend to be resent the established residents in local concerns.[Refereed]Scientific journal - Japanese rural areas have experienced deep socio-economic changes since the high level of economic growth period. For instance, Rurban Villages (Konjuuka-shakai), a new type of community which is composed of farm and non-farm households, have been appearing in the metropolitan area, while the remote rural areas have been suffering from serious depopulation. In Europe, Lewis and Maund (1976) proposed a schematic representation which is founded upon the gradient principle to describe these spatial variations.This paper examines the adaptability of the gradient principle and attempts to clarify the spatial classification of the rural settlements in the Hiroshima Metropolitan area both in 1970 and 1980 in order to present a schema which explains the spatial changes of Japanese rural areas.The results obtained in this paper are as follows:The gradient principle is demonstrated concerning farm land, rural population, rural labor force, agricultural managements and regional society. The rural settlements are classified by 3 socio-economic variables: the ratio of farm households, that of regular part-time farm households, and agricultural income. In classifying the rural settlements, the division values of the variables are estimated as x+0.5σ and x-0.5σ (x: mean, σ: standard devitation) of each variable. The rural settlements are divided into 3 parts in each variable so that 33=27 types are obtained, but only those types which account for more than 5 percent of all rural settlements are analyzed in this paper.The distribution of rural settlement types is schematized as shown Fig. 10 based on the distance from Hiroshima City.The area is divided into the following 4 regions:The Suburbs (I) is the typical Rurban Village which is composed of both farm and non-farm households. Most of the rural settlements have kept agriculture only for a self-sufficiency, while a few have maintained intensive agriculture though the built-up area has been expanded. In Sector (II), commercial agriculture has developed and the agricultural income has formed an important part of household economy. Sector (III) has been suffering from serious depopulation because both agriculture and transportation for commuting are in bad condition. In Sector (IV), seasonal/casual manual labour has been dominant so that the population has depended slightly on agriculture income. In every sector, the rural settlements along the main transport routes depend a little on agriculture and the ratio of regular part-time farm households is high because of the convenience of transportation.In the period between 1970 and 1980, it is evident that the mixture of farm and nonfarm households and the ratio of regular part-time farm households have been increasing. This phenomena has spread outwards from Hisroshima City via the main transport routes.The schema in this paper indicates that the regional division of the rural area is explained by not merely the gradient principle, but also the differentiation principle.The Human Geographical Society of Japan, 1988, Japanese Journal of Human Geography, 40(2) (2), 118 - 143, Japanese, No password[Refereed]Scientific journal
- The Changes of the Local Government Areas in the Meiji Era of Bizen Province, Okayama PrefectureIn Japan, until the administrative villages were formed in 1889, the Meiji Goverument had been reorga-nizing the new adrninistrative areas repeatedly through trial and error for about twenty years. Therefore, many case studies have been done on how the modern administrative areas were forrned and on the rela-tions between the feudal administrative areas and the modern ones. This paper aims to understand the formation and its factors of every administrative area and to make clear the ralations between these areas and rural communities (Mura) in the Meiji era of Bizen province (Kuni). Bizen province is located in the southern part of the present Okayama Prefecture. The coastal region in Seto Inland Sea was economicaily very active and densely populated, whereas the mountainous region was economically poor and rarely populated. The author analyzed how the administrative areas within Bizen province in the Edo era such as the "Go", which had been a local administrative unit comprised of several viuages, and squire area (Ohjaya-ku) had effects on the formation of administrative areas like ward-subward (Daiku-Shoku) in 1872, union of vil-lage offices (Rengo-kucho-yakuba) area in 1884 and administrative village in 1889. As a result, the author found some spatial type classifications such as mountain, plain, peninsula and newly reclaimed land (Shinden) areas, so that he detailed each area with some examples; especially he re-seached the spatial relationship between rural communities and these administrative areas. Through such analysis, the following four types have been recognized due to the spatial difierences of natural and socio-historical conditions. 1) Mountainous type In Tsudaka, Akasaka and lwanashi counties (Gun), the social associations arnong the feudal villages (Hansei-son) were closely interlinked to some extent owing to the remaining functions of the "Go" and the restriction by the valley. Therefore, the adrninistrative areas of these regions have not altered so much in spite of the Central Government's reorganization policy in the Meiji era. 2) Plain type There were no natural barrieres in Mino, Jodo and Oku counties (Gun) in Okayama plain. The "Go" had akeady lost its functions in the late Edo era. The connections among former feudal viffage were not closely interlinked and the new admiunistrative areas were repeatedly altered in pararel with the radical changes of local governrnent system. 3) Peninsula type In Kojima county (Gun), forrner feudal vmages included in every administrative area were the smallest in number because of the larger settlement. The "Go" which had aiready lost its functions did not exert an influence on delinuting the administrative areas in the early Meiji era. 4) Newly reclaimed land (Shinden) type In the new]y reclaimed land in the Bay of Kojima, the connections among the feudal viuages were so closely interlinked that the administrative areas have not reorganized at all during the early Meiji era be-cause it was reclaimed at the same time though the "Go" had not been formed. In delimiting the administrative villages in 1889, the irrigation area played more important role than the area of a tutelary deity (Ujiko-ken). After the formation of the administrative villages, the Central Govern-ment tried to strengthen the intra-village connection by coordinating the school district to the newly reorga-nized administrative areas and by unifying au tutelary deities in an administrative village. But there remained the community functions, so that inhabitants were unwilling to accept the Government's policy in the urrification of the tutelary deities.Hiroshima Geographical Association, Jan. 1986, Geographical sciences, 41(1) (1), 17 - 32, Japanese, No password[Refereed]Scientific journal

For this purpose, we have identified the following five items to focus, namely (1) Spatial structures of eight industries (broiler, dairy, textile, steel, automobile, pharmaceutical, ICT and retail), (2) Mechanism of urban development, (3) Socio-economic changes of suburban villages, (4) Development problems in the less-favored areas, and (5) Dynamics of emerging economic spaces. The growth of India’s economy has widened regional disparities between states, and north-south and east-west economic divides have appeared across India as a whole. The most important achievement of this study was to find the method of analyzing the above mentioned spatial structure of India's economy.

These regions have accomplished the rapid economic growth mainly based on industrialization and tourism development after the economic liberalization. As for the industrial development, industrial policies of the central government for northern mountain states plays a crucial role, though its effects are limited to plain areas. On the other hand, mountainous areas have attracted tourism industries which employment is not sufficient. We should pay attention to increasing internal disparities in the states.

- Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), Kobe University, 2002 - 2004Human Development and New Publicness in the ear of GlobalizationThe main objective of this research is to discuss the problems cocurred in the context of Globalization, and then to examine Human Development and new Publicness to overcome those problems. The research has been pursued in accordance with the following 3 categories. 1 Dynamism of local communities under globalization This research is critical of the current situation brought about by the globalization. This perspective is demonstrated based on the empirical research both on Indian villages and on Chinese Immigrants to Japan. 2 New Publicness Our group examines the possibility of new concept of publicness to cope with the contradictions in the ear of globalization. The focal point of the discussion is the relation between neo-liberal ideology and public responsibility. This issue is taken up in the field of labor market and political publicness. 3 Human Development Another possible strategic concept to overcome the globalization problems is Human Development. Our research criticizes the UN proposed Human Development and Amartya Sen's capability theory. They have limitation in that they discuss it in the market-oriented globalization. The group pointed as the conclusion the importance of the voluntary development of human being and significance of new publicness to nurture the full development of humanity.

It focuses on the reflectivity on Indian Diaspora and its economy, culture after 1990. It is the Indian society in "Global City, Tokyo" (the newcomer who moved for the information technology worker) and that of Hanshin area (old-comer especially in, trading port, Kobe) to make it the target. The process of the production, reproduction with the ethnic group and the place was analyzed through this work. Theory was built about the relations of the ethnic group, Diaspora and Globalization. Points of an argument were put in order, and a new perspective was raised to the Human geography with an ethnic group producing their place and that place producing them as an existence which had ethnic identity. This work was referred to the approach of the city argument, structured theory and phenomenology. Relations with the community in the local level were examined in the place based on the statistics about foreigner's registration in Japan. 1) It is analyzed about the residence area, working area distribution of Indian in the micro-scale, the working structure and that change by using the materials such as Indian society organization. The formation of segregated area of them and a change were grasped, and it was examined from the point of the service supply (consumer goods, education, religion) and society organization. 2) The mechanism of that formation and that change are made clear by the hearing investigation to the society organization of Indian in Tokyo area and Hanshin area. The spatial extent of the network and relation with the reproduction of the identity was analyzed again by the hearing investigation of the individual history of Indian.

This research aims to grasp the trends of urban and industrial development in India and to clarify the national spatial structure, investigating regional effects through land, agricultural products, water resources and labor. As a result, It is clarified that suburb of metropolitan regions are growing rapidly and its development is much related with the industrial development. Major results are as follows. 1) The trends of urban and industrial development since adopting economic liberalization policy in 1991 Foreign direct investment in India tends to be limited to a few metropolitan regions such as Delhi and Bangalore. The metropolitan areas are experiencing rapid expansion in the suburb. IT industry and automobile industry plays an important role in realizing suburban expansion. 2) Urban and industrial development and their regional effects in Bangalore metropolitan regions Recent industrial development in Bangalore is leaded by automobile and software industries. Their development depends on the industrial agglomeration and human resource development. Rapid development of Bangalore brings about a number of urban questions, especially in the the water resources, housing supply and transport. 3) Urban and industrial development and their regional effects in Delhi metropolitan regions We focus on Gurgaon district locating in the suburb of Delhi. Recent industrial development here is leaded by automobile industries and call centers, providing the increase of labor demands. However increasing casual workers is observed in manufacturing sectors. In Gurgaon, housing and commercial development is now appearing and playing as a center for suburban development.
- 日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 奨励研究(A), 神戸大学, 1999 - 2000現代農村のローカライゼーションに関する地理学的研究研究目的は、現代日本の地域社会の変化を、ローカルレベルと上位のナショナルレベル・リージョナルレベルとの相互作用関係を視点に分析し、ローカライゼーションのプロセスを明らかにすることである。 今年度は、上記の関係を特に日本の農村出身者の都市定住過程とエスニック集団の社会構造の2つに焦点を当てて調査・分析・学会発表・論文発表を行った。 具体的には、前者に関しては、国家の地域政策や国内産業の空間的再編成(特に農林業、製造業、建設業と観光業)と県・市町村の地域政策や地元産業の再編成との関連を概観した上で、これらの政策や産業の空間的再編成がローカルな農村の政治・経済・社会構造に与えた影響を、おもにローカルな産業資本の動向、地方議会議員の選挙と地域住民の組織の対応の点から、ポリティカル・エコノミィの枠組みに準拠して考察を行い、それぞれの地域における対応様式の特質について考察を行った。 また、後者に関しては、日本におけるエスニック集団の社会構造の変化を分析した。近年の経済のグローバリゼーションの進行と関連させながら、商人を中心とした在日インド人のオールドタイマー達が居住し、定着している神戸およびその周辺地域と比較しながら、「世界都市」・東京とその周辺地域で情報産業に従事するインド人ニューカマー達の流入・定着過程を分析対象とした。その結果、グローバリゼーションの過程の中で、エスニック集団の社会構造が流動化・浮遊化し、場所に根ざさない社会となっていることが明らかになった。そしてこの傾向を決定的に特徴づけたのが、インターネットの急速な普及であったことが判明した。

A final report including most of our research work was published in March 1999, and the summary is as follows. 1. With regard to disaster analysis of Kobe, topographical classification maps were made, and using them it was clarified that topography and residential damages are closely related. Disaster deaths, residential damages, and natural conditions also had the relationship which was quite different by region. Temporal residential mobility due to the earthquake was notable in inner city areas, and poor and old-age people. 2. About reconstruction analysis, mobility of many tenants of damaged offices in Central Kobe to areas around and outside Kobe was still related to agglomeration function of Central Kobe. Taking two inner city regions in Kobe, it was shown that experience of disasters by the World War II and the earthquake damages are related. Reconstruction in towns in Awaji Island was different from reconstruction in Kobe urban areas. 3. Using historical maps, the relationship between remains of farm ponds and residential damages was analyzed, but clear results were not found. Data of map use by newspapers of the earthquake disasters was collected, and its significance and limitation were pointed out. It is the remaining task for us to add research work using many and new statistics and reports concerning to the Earthquake, and proceed more intensive and analytic approach on wider regions, for example total Kobe and Hanshin regions.
- 日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 国際学術研究, 広島大学, 1996 - 1998インドにおける工業化の新展開と地域構造の変容本研究は,近年進展著しいインド工業化の地域的実態を,北インドを中心に低開発地域と開発地域の2つの大規模工業団地の比較を通じて明らかにしようとするものである。既に平成8年度は,低開発地域の工業団地開発の事例を調査し,平成9年度は,近年成長著しいデリー工業圏,中でもノイダ工業団地について調査を行った。本年度は、5名により補足調査として短期のインド現地調査を行った他は,もっぱらこれまでの研究の総括に当てた。平成8年度,9年度の成果を総合的に検討するため9月に研究集会を実施し,さらにその結果を11月の人文地理学会で口答発表した。なお、これまでの3年間の研究成果を報告書としてまとめ,工業化と地域の変容を通してインドの新たな地域像の提示を試みた。 インド現地調査は,デリーとその周辺において前年度の補足調査を行ったほか,近年成長著しい南インドの工業発展の一端を把握するため,バンガロールの工業団地開発とソフトウェア産業の展開について調査を実施した。バンガロールの調査によって明らかとなった点は以下のとおりである。 1)バンガロールは公営企業の立地により工業都市として発展してきたが,近年は外国資本を含むソフトウェア産業の集積による発展が著しい。2)この発展には,これまでの工業の集積や研究機関・教育機関の充実が関わっている。3)ソフトウェア産業のための工業団地開発が行われており,シンガポールの協力によりこれまでのインドにない新たなコンセプトの開発が認められる。4)トヨタの工業立地が近郊に決定しており,今後自動車工業の集積によってより総合的な工業地域として発展することが予測される。
- Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for international Scientific Research, Hiroshima University, 1991 - 1993Geographical Reappraisal of Human Resources and its Relation to Socio-economic Development in IndiaTitle : Geographical Reappraisal of Human Resources and Its Relation to Socio-economic Development in India Purpose and fields : The purpose of this research project was to make a geographical reappraisal of human resources in the context of the regional development which focuses upon the improvement of living standard and the growth of industries in micro regional scale. Research fields were picked up two villages under the regional development programs near Mysore and two residential areas in Mysore city region. The first village, Chikkamarali, located at northern area about 40Km away from Mysore city had been surveyed in 1978 by the joint research team of Hiroshima and Mysore Universities. We made the follow-up survey of the change in living way of the village people since the previous survey. The other village, Gowdahalli, is located along Mysore-Bangalore Highway. On the sampling of these villages, the fundamental view point was the development of irrigation. The former was the developed case and the latter was the developing case. For the survey of the rural-urban linkage, two residential areas were picked up in Mysore city area. Result : At Chikkamarali village, the rotation system of crops by paddy and sugarcane has been established after the spread of irrigation system. Then giving much fertilizer brought high productivity and comparatively much income. The development of commercial agriculture has changed the employment and household system of the village. The traditional employment system has changed to cash-payment system, and on the other hand, agricultural households have maintained the old joint family system to keep their labor force for cultivation of their land. The developmental effect on agriculture has not influenced the daily life, for instance, food consumption, education of children, etc., yet. Gowdahalli, on the marginal area of modern irrigation, remained the traditional agricultural income. Urban people who migrated from rural area and live at two residential areas in Mysore city, live on comparatively high level. As the result of urbanization which has spread widely in India, those who migrated to urban area began to cut off their relation with their real properties left in rural villages. Result of the survey works for three years. The joint research teams of Hiroshima and Indian universities have been completed very successfully to collect the micro data at six villages in three States, India from 1991 to 1993. The survey works have been carried out owe to much cordial friendship between Indian and Japanese scholars. The data were concerning living way and its changes in the rural development schemes by house-hold and family member. Results of the projects have published in "Annual Report of Research Center for Regional Geography." No.3, 1993, and No.4, 1994(in Press). We plan the joint seminar of this project at India in 1995.
