Outline of Final Research Achievements

During three years of the research, our research group presented the reports at academic meetings eight times and thirteen thesis were published on academic magazines. And fourteen meetings were held for exchanges of information and discussions among research members. Also eight questionnaire surveys were conducted at urban areas in big cities such as Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto, and Osaka.
Through the research, we found the ratio of professionals and wealth increased due to increasing residents of condominiums and that relationship among local residents weakened. However, we found those relations were different depending on cities.
