Abstract
In this thesis I would like to take the dokyo group, that is, the group of people from the same province Living in cities, as a material, and apply the description, explanation, and interpretation to it.
Even in prewar days, increasing number of the rural population had constantly moved into cities. In wartime and afterward, many more people, including first sons and heads of families, gathered there. Then many of them came to form the dokyo group.
Generally speaking, the exodus of villegers to urban areas was inevitable in the process of modern capital accumulation. Today the dokyo group exists distinctively, and they are not isolated migrators moved into cities form but parties havings strong mutual connections. Thus the leadership is important and it plays a vital role in the groups. This attempts to elaborate on these points.
