This paper aims to clarify the formation and characteristics of new Internet-related self-help activities for people who suffer from mental illnesses. First, these activities are not organized by existing self-help groups outside the Internet; and secondly, the relationship between the participants is very fluid. The participants use the Internet as a tool to contact each other without having recourse to any sort of intermediary services such as medical and welfare agencies. They themselves select people with whom to talk, and decide what to do at their own discretion. When starting such activities, it may happen that they do not trust each other at first, because their communication starts with anonymous Internet BBS on which verbal abuse and aspersions are posted frequently. But if they manage to hit it off with other people at offline meetings planned online anonymously, it becomes a precious experience for them in creating new intimate relationships that - among other things - might prevent the participants from committing suicide. They encourage each other, relieve their loneliness, and help each other to live with, and to manage, their illnesses. However,if these intimate relationships develop into a fixed relationship, then that may create a greater risk of trouble. In such cases, people tend to return to anonymous online communications as a sort of risk aversion. On the other hand, this also gives them another chance for precious experiences in finding a kindred spirit among other participants. Such activities create opportunities for socially vulnerable people to maintain their self-identity as a kind of reflexive project such as is imposed on all people in individualized societies, along with a chance for risk aversion among peer helpers. In this way, they use the Internet to enhance their discretionary power to continue self-help activities.

本稿は都市の空間構造の変容について、旧日本軍の軍用地を核として歴史的に跡づけ、その社会学的な意義を指摘するものである。それら「軍都の空間」が、都市の空間形成(地方都市のみならず大都市圏においても)にとって決定的であったというのが、中心的な枠組みである。本稿では、旧日本軍が占有していた「軍用地」を持つ地域として三重県と群馬県を取り上げる。そして、三重県の地方都市、群馬県の地方都市において、軍都の空間がどのように都市形成の核となってきたのかを素描する。 アメリカの都市社会学を範として発展してきた日本の都市社会学は、できるだけその理論に適合的な事例を取り上げ、理論を組み立ててきた。戦勝国のアメリカでは、軍用地の非軍用施設への転用という事態が行われなかったのであり、日本の社会学は軍施設の転用という都市形成の重大な契機を見落としてきてしまったのだろう。本稿では、軍都の空間の変容をみていくことで、日本における新しい都市空間の社会学を構想するものである。
