Study on Residential Movement and Consciousness of New Integrated Residents in Inner Area of Tokyo

Abstract

The residents of inner area of Tokyo can be devided into three types, “integrated residents”, “new integrated residents”, and “temporary residents”. The purpose of this articles is to analize the residential movement and consciousness of “new integrated residents” through a questionnaire. About 40% of the new integrated residents are from inner area of Tokyo and accordingly the new integrated residents are not necessarily “new” integrated residents. Their behavior is not likely to lead to friction against “integrated residents”. Consequently, to supply to the new integrated residents with condominiums is one of the methods for the social integration of inner area of Tokyo.
