Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to investigate new social capital and new social perspectives, measurement on social capital by examining various indexes and activities concerning industrial technological power. In this study I focused on Kagosima, one of the peripheral parts of Japan which is located at the southern end of Kyushu island, about sixteen hundred kilometers away from Tokyo, to present a detailed overview of technological power in all its various dimensions. Kagoshima consists chiefly of two peninsulas with many tiny islands around them and has 1.82 million people. But year by year, the number of population has been decreasing, especially that of younger people is declining. So people considers that the ability and the potentiality of Kagoshima to adapt itself to the changing needs of the times have weakened. Indeed, until quite recently the standard model of regional development was one in which countries or provinces were assumed to have access to the same opportunities including technology or to have almost the same assets that successful model provided. Although there have been many empirical studies of the role of technology in regional development, much of this literaturte lacks the sharpness that comes with a well-difined model, or even a clearly put question. But only recently scholars started to devote themselves to a new generation of social theoretical models inspired by the movement towards the new paradigm indicating coexistential cosmology. Sociologists have been investing much time and efforts in trying to illustrate the feature of the new paradigm, its indication and new consepts which would accompany with them. The resulting body of this study is a sophisticated analysis of the technological power of Kagoshima, in fact its main contribution is the identification of a very wide range of circumstances in which technological activities to operate. Consequently this study can be situated as a prelude towards the detection of the new paradigm model.
