Abstract
This article attempts to show what the relationship is between involvement in neighborhood friendship networks and participation in residents' movements (Jumin Undou). For this purpose, survey data of housing development residents are analysed.
Among the residents in the lower buildings, it is found that the participation in vesidents' movements is correlated positively to the following variables : (1) involvement, (2) the number of ties, and (3) point centrality in the neighborhood friendship network. But, among those in the higher buildings, the participation in residents' movements is correlated to variable (1) only, and isn't correlated to variables (2) and (3). This difference may be accounted for relative weakness of political entrepreneurs in the higher buildings.
In addition, findings suggest that channels to movement participation are multiple.
