The purpose of this paper is to make it clear how residents made claims (claims-making activities) through the social movement against building oil bases, which started in 1973 and made the plan withdrawn in 1984 in Uken-village, Amami Islands, Kagoshima Prefecture, focusing on the development of the network of the movement.Japan saw the rapid economic growth in 1950's onward, and in the late 1960's, large-scale oil bases started to be built and operated in order to supply the country with petroleum stably. With pollution emerging as a social problem in 1970's, social movements both against and for the development spread.In Uken-village, there were confrontations around the construction of the oil bases in various layers: inside the village versus outside the village, and a settlement versus another settlement Furthermore, conflicts inside a settlement and even inside a family were caused. The anti-oil-bases movement spread not only inside the island but also to the point that those who had migrated to the mainland of Japan or foreign countries joined.This paper will give a clear picture on what kind of discourses were employed and how the networked movement spread and developed based on literature and data collected by semi-structured interview using the perspective of social constructionist approach.
