Abstract
The purpose of this study is to clarify the evolution and state of social recognition of game centers. As a part of this study, we will analyze the statements of Diet members and bureaucrats, who are policy makers on social control and other issues, from the minutes of Diet sessions. By using the "Diet Proceedings Search System" to search for relevant words, and analyzing the context of the words based on the social background, this presentation will attempt to analyze the transition and the nature of the recognition of game centers in the statements made in the Diet. As a result, this presentation revealed that the perception of lawmakers toward game centers was mainly centered on youth protection and gambling issues, and that among these perceptions, there is a continuing trend toward continued regulation, especially in terms of youth protection. The report then suggested the need for continued research and analysis of the factors that contribute to this perception.
