Description
Summary:Despite rising urbanization and its tendency to undo pre-existing social bonds in neighbourhood communities like the chōnaikai, local bonds are being developed in big cities as a means of preventing public insecurity. Based on the analysis of archives from the 1970s onwards and on fieldwork carried out in Tokyo, Osaka and Kōbe, this article studies the way this phenomenon has been supported by the police, urban planners and the government. In addition to explaining how the preventive measures adopted by residents take place within the neighbourhood, it describes the differences that may exist depending on the residents’ status and the neighbourhood bonds they aim to develop.
