By using the terms of organizational mobilization and quasi-organizational mobilization, this paper tried to clarify what NGOs can do in the field of emergency aid for natural disaster and the problems facing them through the case study on the earthquake of 26th November 2005 in Jiangxi Province.Organizational mobilization means the traditional way of mobilization relying on the governmental system.Quasi-organizational mobilization means the way of mobilization indirectly using governmental system.Volunteer factor appeared in China and different NGOs have different ways in mobilization.NGOs in China are often called G-NGO, but G-NGOs had mobilized both internal and external governmental resources-include oversea relief, to meet the needs of emergency aid.This is what NGO can do in China now.

Despite the spread of globalization discourses focusing on capital market and ubiquitous information technology, more attention to the meanings of “place”, “constructed structure”, “communities” and everyday practices investigated from ethnic studies in urban sociology has been increasing.In this paper, I try to reconstitute the concepts and methodology of ethnic studies in the discussion of the “transnationalism from below” theories by considering the reason that urban sociology incorporated the ethnic studies into its research.In the first section, I indicate the difficulties of migration research from “a structural perspective” that has been advanced in the research field of Global Sociology in Japan.In the second section, I reconsider the original subjects of the research of urban ethnicities, and, I approve the idea that the meanings of ethnic problems occur in a transitional, splitting and new generaton.In the third section, I demonstrate that the main theme and the concepts of the ethnic studies are regenerated in the transnationalism from below theories, and insist that we should research the generating processes of other networks of meaning and power by investigating the everyday practices in transnational communities.Finally, I show that we can open up a new research field in above mentioned subjects.

This paper clarifies a limitation of modern paradigm in the urban sociology of Japan and proposes a new perspective based on the field research in Bali, Indonesia. This paper adopts a concept ‘pluralistic collectivity'[ C. Geertz] as a core of the philosophy of the social structure in Bali and deal with four case studies, local security, gated community, traditional small green space, and mobilities of Japanese lifestyle migrants. The local security systems are established based on pluralistic collectivity by local people. They contribute to making new local images or multicultural activities of local security. The case of the gated communities and traditional small green space are evaluated as the ‘border spaces' with the plurality. Japanese lifestyle migrants exist between immigration and tourism. Besides, from the viewpoints of residential mobility and daily mobility, This paper clarifies their ways of using the gated communities, which increase the possibility of their mobilities. Through the re-evaluation of the four case studies from the perspective of Michihiro Okuda's urban studies, the importance of constituting society from the ‘border spaces' and of the continuous ‘reflection' or ‘elaboration' is proposed.

The purpose of this article is to clarify possibility of the welfare in today's urbanized community.The community-based welfare theory by Shigeo Okamura examines such a problem adequately. When a senior citizen or a handicapped person receives a support of the daily life, relations with a social worker and the other supporters are important.However, it is controlled greatly whether inhabitants accept such an activity at the same time.The dual community theory brings prosperity both in urban sociology and in social welfare studies.

This paper shows the changes in the migration and commuting flows in the three major metropolitan areas in Japan, Tokyo Osaka and Nagoya since Taisho Era (1910s). Although process of suburbanization began at Taisho Era, the rapid expansion of the commuting zone happened between 1930 and 1955.The main causes of this phenomenon were the evacuation of the metropolitan area to avoid loss of life from air raids in the wartime.However, institutional factors such as changes in the housing market, restrictions on population movement and the increasing availability of commuting allowances paid by employers all contributed to the significant expansion of the commuting zone.The most intense population growth in the suburbs was caused in 1960s and 70s by the residential careers of cohorts born in 1930s and 40s.They flowed into metropolitan centers from non-metropolitan area and after that they moved to metropolitan suburb due to their marriage or childbirth.After mid-1970s women who had flowed into metropolitan suburb before completed their child-rearing got employment again near their home. Therefore the numbers of the intra suburban commuters increased rapidly.It is a turning point of these three metropolises in 1990s.Since the outflow of population from metropolitan center decreased, migration between metropolitan center and the suburbs have been in equilibrium and the number of population of central city has increased.And the number of suburb-to-central city commuters has decreased.

This article aims to consider the integration policy for foreign residents in Japan, which promotes political and economic equality as well as cultural diversity, based on a case study of Yao City, Osaka. By analyzing the ethnic relations among Japanese, old comers, Korean minority, and new comers, the following four issues are discussed. 1) Official Japanese language education system should be established, for the lack of Japanese language proficiency makes it difficult for new comers not only to live a life in Japan but also to have relationships with Japanese. 2) Occupational support system for new comers is necessary making the best use of their ethnic networks and their multicultural background. 3) Current education system fails to encourage new comer children to build positive ethnicity.It should be revised taking mother tongue education into consideration, which brings many positive effects. 4) The inter-ethnic relationship between old comers and new comers is important. It makes new corners not only to have a chance to make relationships with Japanese but also to form positive ethnic identity.
