Research Abstract |
From the field survey on the Internet cafe at metropolises of East and Southeast Asian countries such as Tokyo, Osaka, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok, Manila, (1) I reflected more than 350 Internet cafes on the map of each city. (2) By analyzing collected data on Internet cafes form above survey and interviews from shopkeepers and customers of them, I described the social history of the Internet cafe in each city and clarified the specificity of Internet cafe uses in it. (3) I demonstrated that the core of a problem of "net cafe nanmin" in contemporary Japan is "private booth" by comparing with the Internet cafe use of migrant workers in Hong Kong and Singapore.
