It is an attempt to form a new business relationship and to put high added value on the local product through the place branding. This article analyses that movement as a socio-spatial transformation of post-industrial urban economy.</p>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This paper examines Japanese resident's attitudes toward &ldquo;new-comer&rdquo; foreign residents in highly concentrated cities of Nikkei Brazilians. We conducted surveys during 2005 - 2007 in 3 samples cities, Nishio in Aichi, Hamamatsu in Shizuoka and Iida, Nagano prefecture. These cities are located in the Tokai area where has a large population of foreign residents and these cities are member cities of the Council of Highly Concentrated Cities of Foreign Residents. Using the data we analyze the contribution factors of &ldquo;acceptance/exclusive attitudes&rdquo; toward foreign residents which are common among the three cities.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Firstly we find that the variables of individual attributes that are gender, age and educational background are effective. In other words, more-educated young males are more generous toward foreign residents. But interestingly our data does not support the &ldquo;group threat theory&rdquo; which is people of the &ldquo;blue collar&rdquo; workers have more exclusive consciousness.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Secondary, our data supports the &ldquo;contact theory&rdquo; and the &ldquo;network theory&rdquo;. People who have contacts with foreign residents have more positive attitudes toward Brazilians and Peruvians in neighborhood. Having a contact in daily life, people are able to establish &ldquo;visible relationship&rdquo; and are trying to accept Brazilians and Peruvians as their community members.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Thirdly, people who have stronger &ldquo;Ie&rdquo; consciousness have more negative attitudes toward foreign residents. Also it is interesting to point that people who have stronger attachment to their neighborhood and the stronger intention and to contribute to their neighborhood are more exclusive toward foreign residents.

<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Populism is one of the most critical issues in Japanese urban politics. This case study examines urban populism through an urban regime analysis of the urban politics of Nagoya city, which has experienced populist politics since Mayor Kawamura took office in 2009.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The most crucial point of this case study is the disintegration of the urban regime of Nagoya in the late 1990s. During the 1980s, this regime restructured itself with developmental and distributive politics. Business leaders supported developmental policies such as the conducting of mega events and building of public facilities. City politicians practiced machine politics and influenced the mayors. Such an urban regime lasted from the early 1980s to mid-1990s.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;However, the regime disintegrated in the late 1990s due to the weakening of machine politics. Politicians lost their power to mobilize voters, making voter behavior unpredictable. This created a power vacuum and made it easy for political leaders to get popular support through populist mobilization. In 2009, Mayor Kawamura was elected with over 500,000 votes (58.57%), and since then, Nagoya has experienced a political confrontation between the mayor and city politicians. This disintegration of the urban regime produced urban populism in the city.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Populism is often considered to be a driver of political changes. However, in this case study, a rearrangement of the city regime brought about urban populism. This study indicates a potential for studies comparing the urban politics of Japan through urban regime analyses.</p>

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.
