エスニックな観光地「新大久保」の形成条件――エスニック・コミュニティと観光地化の連続性に関する考察――

抄録

The residential concentration of ethnic groups and the accumulation of ethnic businesses have been regarded as a continuous process of developing ethnic communities, and the formation of ethnic tourist attractions is also positioned on this continuum. However, this perspective is being reconsidered because the two aspects of ethnic communities which have sustained it, ethnic ties and spatial cohesion, have been separated. Therefore, this paper examined the Korean community’s influence on the formation of “Shin-Okubo” and demonstrated that the impact of the spatial cohesion of businesses was strong in this case. On the other hand, ethnic ties did not impact the formation strongly, but have recently become important factors for the stable development of “Shin-Okubo.”
