KAMAGASAKI in Osaka prefecture is one of the places which were called "Yoseba" in Japanese-the black market for supplying day-labour force. Though the word 'Yoseba' reminds the Japanese people only of KAMAGASAKI, SANYA in Tokyo and KOTOBUKI-CHO in Kanagawa, most of the large cities in Japan have a place like that. People always try to forget the fact that those places exist in their neighborhood with a sense of discrimination. Before its 'First Uprising (in August, 1961)', KAMAGASAKI was not a mere "Yoseba" but a kind of slum as well. By taking a close look at the area before the first uprising I would like to show how the people constructed the social problems of KAMAGASAKI concerning 1) Residence, 2) Labour, 3) Children, and 4) Crime including Delinquency and Prostitution. In other words, this paper aims to make clear how the problems sociologists and journalists constructed about KAMAGASAKI before the first uprising were succeeded to administration of Osaka city and modified and distorted.
