| Research Abstract |
In this report we show the results of our empirical survey in Okinawa as for 'regional social formation and life style' since the results of theoretical and general studies have already been published in two books shown in references.
In Part I, we have shown that Okinawa, if is seen in a macroscopic perspective, has been considered as an 'frontier' of China, Japan and the United States in changing structures of the world system. It has been put as such in a hard conflicting situation of 'coreness' and 'marginality' to which the 'Conception of International City Formation' should be construed as its positively subjective response. In Part II, we have inquired into the realities of family and welfare as the inside of Okinawan society and have found that it has been involved in the whole Japan's trend of aging and child decreasing although having long been a region of longevity and many children. It has been facing the necessity to enforce welfare policies to cope with these changes.

rt III, digging into the inside of Okinawan society, we have followed the processes how the people who survived the terrible war and came back to the bared land have resettled and rebuilt their own society in order to 'create' their own culture in terms of space formation and culture rebirth. And in Part IV, analyzing the social problems unique to Okinawa such as intersections of 'beneficial' and 'suffering' areas by military bases, pollutions by 'red clay' as 'constructed' by various agents and historical and contemporary arguments on Okinawa's 'autonomy', we have clarified difficulties and possibilities of the present stage of the Okinawan region where the governor has been changed from of the reformist to of the conservative background during the research period.
As a temporary conclusion, we can say that young sprouts of 'glocalism' are now growing in various forms against the unique background of history and society in this region of Okinawa that is located in the marginality within the coreness of the world system. Less
