The purpose of this paper is to examine the transformation of “discourse” and “gaze” over CCTV, in case of two areas of Kansai. Particularly, we pay attention to pioneering cases of full-scale installation of street CCTV and cases where a local administrative organ started location information service to residents. Therefore, this paper has the following structure. First, we outline the discussion about CCTV. Next, we will introduce the perspectives of sociomateriality. Then, we will introduce two cases. One is Nishinari-ku, Osaka-shi (that is, Airin area; in common name is “Kamagasaki”), famous as a pioneering example of large-scale street CCTV. The other is Itami City which installed about 1,000 street CCTVs in the city with the slogan “Japan’s safe and secure city”. By comparing with these cases, we want to clarify the transformation of “discourse” and “gaze” over CCTV.
