    The social change caused by the drastic change of the industrial structure in Japan from the latter half of 1960's to the first half of 1970's has brought local communities to a crisis. The change has been explained by the debate whether the structure of village communities has already collapsed or still remained. In this situation, it is important to intensively describe the present conditions of local communities and their subtle changes. It is also necessary to compare the community structures based on the standardized data and to analyze quantitatively the community structures at the regional and nationwide levels, in order to establish a common and objective scale.
    Nishida and I made use of “the agricultural community cards” (mainly of 1970) of the World census about the Agriculture and Forestry. We drew a 1500 random sample out of one hundred and forty-two thousand local communities. We calculated a mean and a variance, and using the method of the Principal Component Analysis (one of the multivariate analyses), found four components common to all the local communities. We have set up the “nationwide criterion” to easily calculate the component scores of a local community. We have also proposed the “regional criterion”. As our case study, we have employed the communities in Tsushima islands of Nagasaki prefecture.

    In the case study of rural society, based on the observation method, there are so many chances to get the data by the free interview, rather than by the direct observation. One of the characteristics of this method is that the data can be got just by having the social relation with informants by the researcher. Therefore, the revel of information may depend upon the revel of social relation. But there is not necessarily such general tendency that the more familiar and informal the relation is, the more accurate and detailed the information is. The researcher should consider not only the dyadic relation between the informant and the researcher itself but also the social settings around it.
    The theoretical model, which is reconstructed from the social reality of rural community, should be rather intermediate than abstract one in its character. The researcher should rely on skillful assistant, informant as well as native researcher, in order to have a correct understanding of folk concept and folk model. At the same time, however, the researcher should remember the limit of ideal-typed character of that kind of model, which cannot always take account of the social change.

    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.

  • -Cultural orientations toward introversion and juvenile delinquency-

    Two of the remarkable personality traits of deviant adolescent hot rodders were found to be extremely high extraversion and high neuroticism, measured by shortened Y-G test. It has been pointed out by previous research that the Japanese children experience the developmental change from extraversion to introversion, as they progress from primary to secondary schools, which suggests the presence of cultural orientations toward introversion in their environments. The extremely high scores on extraversion of deviant adolescent hot rodders may be regarded as the effects of the lack of these cultural orientations, or the presence of reinforcement of extraversion in their childhood. And this extremely high extraversion introduces “an infantile level of response”, which is the hot rodding and which represents the immatuarity of their personality, into their deviant behavior.
    It was also found that deviant adolescent hot rodders showed severe underachievement in school performances. Since our current educational system happens to unfavour high extraverts, they may well be expected to underachieve. Thus their underachievement can be considered the effects of their maladjustment to the distribution of knowledges, and also to the cultural orientations toward introversion, which might be called “hidden curriculum” implicit in the distribution of knowledges.

    The study of landlordly system is a key point to understand the structure of rural society and its change before World War II. By the study of landlordly system in rural sociology, we have intended to clarify the social, economical foundation and concrete process, of the domination of jinushi (landlords) over kosaku (tenant farmers) and, in turn, the formation of subjectivity of farmers. But I doubt that we have got satisfactory results, theoretically and empirically, from these studies. Especially, we have the week point that these studies don't clarify the concrete figure of jinushi-kosaku (landlord-tenant farmer) relationship. Therefore, in this paper, I intend to grasp the jinushi-kosaku relationship in Taisho era through analysis of relationship between the jinushi families and the kosaku families (called “Ie” in Japanese) -especially, through analysis of the organisation of labour - based on the landholding. From this point of view, I investigate;
    (1) statistical analysis of the disintegration of farmer.
    (2) the character and its change of landlord's, owner farmer's and tenant farmer's management in the farming region.
    (3) the character of the organisation of labour centered on landlord's self-farming.
    (4) the character of jinushi-kosaku relationship in Taisho period and concrete mechanism of the disintegration of farmers based on its relationship. In this study, I want to supplement neglected points in economy and examine the disintegration of farmers from a sociological aspect.

  • -On the significance of phenomenology for social sciences-

    For the sociologists who regard phenomenology as something significant for sociology, it seems to become a crucial question whether phenomenology is metatheoretically or theoretically significant for social sciences.
    This paper purposes to answer this question through the following analyses.
    (1) To examine this question in terms of Schutz's system. This examination makes clear that this question is derived from Schutz's system.
    (2) To explain that it is of somewhat contradictive nature in Schutz's system that phenomenology is theoretically significant for social sciences. This explanation clarifies that phenomenology is only metatheoretically significant for social sciences in Schutz's system.
    (3) To show that it is not contradictory to Husserl's system that phenomenology is only metatheoretically significant for social sciences.
    These analyses make clear and valid that phenomenology is only metatheoretically significant for social sciences.
