Focus and Scope of the Conference:

Commission 04.27 has as its focus the goal of researching and comparing the marginalization and regional/local responses in various areas both rural and urban around the world. One of the main dimensions of marginalization is the economic one, which is often associated with the effects of the spread of capitalism word wide. Globalization, that is, the simultaneous integration of economic factors/fluctuations all over the world is a good example of this. The local/regional effects and responses occur differently around the world due to the local/regional natures and situations. The function of industries, the role of the small and medium-sized cities, entrepreneurship and so on constitute a key part of this sub-theme. These kinds of topics will be summarized as economic research in general.

Commission 04.27 also has the tradition of focusing upon the marginalization and regional/local response to it from the viewpoints of cultural, ecological, historical, psychological and so on. The regional comparisons and the frame of reference upon these topics are expected to pursue.

When considering the successful regional/local responses for a sustainable society, both the tangible and intangible assets and resources and their management play important roles. In this sense, the topic of the suitable management of local/regional resources and heritages constitutes one of main sub-themes. Social capital in contemporary society and its temporal dynamics and areal differentiation also are one sub-theme. Their role and management in the post-industrial society and in the knowledge society may also become a topic to be touched upon.

In contemporary society we see the strong impact and function of the politics and regional policies. If we look carefully, we will notice a lot of policies weave a web in a society. Not only agricultural and forestry policies as well as industrial policies, but also regional policies such as the policies for less favoured areas cover and function in the contemporary world. Critical comparative reflections on them will constitute a topic of interest, too.

The restructuring and innovative responses of the communities are taking place in many countries. In several countries the merger/amalgamation or the cooperation of the administrative corporations are taking place. In many countries various struggles for the community governance are tied together such as in cooperation with informal/voluntary sectors and in the system of partnership among several organizations. The principles such as social inclusion/exclusion, community involvement, the sense of belonging and empowerment all fall within the same category. Elderly care welfare, redundancies, social networks and the creative communication systems are typical topics of this branch. All of these relate to the topic of community development as social/sociological study in general.

Papers of both theoretical and empirical nature are welcome. The scales of the study area range from local, to regional, national and international. While any scale may be the focus, comparison between countries (regions, or continents, that is, at the same scale) will be particularly welcomed. Among topics of interest above mentioned (but not limited to) are:

･Rural, Urban, and Rural-Urban Development (also including the Role of Industry, the Role of Medium and Small-Sized Cities, Opportunities and Mechanism to Escape from the Marginalization, (and associated Economic considerations in general)

･The Restrictions and Structures of Marginalization induced by Economic Globalization, and associated Cultural, Historical, Psychological Factors etc.

･Sustainable Management of Local/Regional Resources and Heritage

･The Role of Social Capital in Contemporary Society and Its Temporal Dynamics/Areal Differentiation

･The Role and Perspective of Politics and Regional Policies in Contemporary Society

･Community Development and associated issues of Governance, Voluntarism, Partnership and so forth, that is, Social Studies in general

Narita International Airport – (train. 2 and a half hours) – Haneda Airport – Memanbetsu Airport –(bus) – center of Kitami

Kansai International Airport – Memanbetsu Airport –(bus) - center of Kitami

Narita I A and Haneda A are located in Kanto District (Tokyo metropolitan area). Kansai I A is located in Kinki District (South of Osaka). The distance between Narita I A and Haneda A I is about 50 – 60 km. The distance between Narita I A (Haneda A) and Kansai I A is about 600 - 650 km.

Memanbetsu airport provides good bus service to the center of Kitami city. It also provides another bus service to other cities, so you should ask the bus driver the destination first. The cost of one-way bus is about 1000 yen. After dropping the terminal bus stop, you will arrive at the Kitami Tohwa Hotel in less than 15 minutes walk. I will attach the guide maps later.

As the middle of August public transport and roads get jammed with people going home because a great deal of Japanese people move around due to “Bon”, the Buddhist souls festival at midsummer to pay homage to the spirits of ancestors at hometowns. Nowadays some people spend these days as their vacation in foreign countries, so that the airplane also gets jammed. Therefore, it would be recommended, if possible, to book the tickets in much advance.
