PapersThe roles of "newcomer residents" and "populations who retain an interest in local villages (Kankei-Jinkou)" in depopulated countryside villages : A case study of students' research activities in Kawakami village, NaraUnrefereedIn-house publicationCo-authorSAKAI,Chie;OCHI, Yuko2020/3～This paper examines the interaction between local residents and newcomers in a forested village (Kawakami village) in Nara. The ageing of Japan's countryside population, combined with a declining number of residents, has caused the government to establish policies which encourage city residents to move to the depopulated countryside. This village has welcomed several newcomers every year, so both the authors and undergraduate students, supervised by us, interviewed residents regarding their decisions to live in that village. Their life stories explained that there were differences and misunderstandings between local residents and newcomers, but also several places and occasions where both of them mixed and interacted together. This paper also explores ways in which students' research could be used to produce connections with depopulated villages. The Cabinet Office and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications have emphasized the importance of "Kankei-Jinkou," which means the population who retain an interest in the countryside villages they do not live in. As most of the students have been raised in cities, their experiences as fieldworkers made them interested in understanding the dynamics of the villages in spite of the limitation of a short-term research.

PapersLife stories of migrants and a globalized "Asia" : A case study of Japanese living in Hong Kong and ShanghaiUnrefereedIn-house publicationSingle-AuthorSAKAI,Chie2018/10～This paper examines the transition of political and economic relations between Japan and China based on the collected life stories of Japanese migrants who have moved to Hong Kong and Shanghai since the mid 1990s.The number of Japanese living in China has increased mainly because of the appreciation of the yen and the internationalization of the Japanese economy. Sociological studies have tended to describe these residents' experiences as a personal lifestyle choice; however, this study found that they decided to move to Asian cities, because of the availability of proper visas and employment opportunities. Hence, political and economic relations had great influence on their personal choices. This paper also discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the qualitative research over the past 20 years.
