A Case Study of Growth of Community Revitalization Movement in Chizu, Tottori Prefecture, Japan

Kaso is the deterioration of community infrastructure resulting from the migration of young people from rural areas to urban centers. It occurred in Japan during the period of rapid economic growth after World War II. Due to the conservative nature of remaining rural residents, community revitalization is often difficult.

高校家庭科教科書を分析対象として、戦後から現在に至る家族間の変遷を検討した。分析では、まず、教科書の目次項目のみを対象にコレスポンデンス分析を適用し、家族観の変遷の大まかな傾向を検討した。その結果、家族観が、戦後直後の「身近な存在としての家族」から、高度経済成長期の「経営対象としての家族」を経て、一見、再び「身近な存在としての家族」に回帰しているかのような傾向が見出された。しかし、教科書本文の精細な内容分析によって、近年の「身近な存在としての家族像」は、「核家族制度 対 核家族制度の崩壊」という危機的な二項図式を背景としており、現在の教科書には、統計データで核家族の相対多数を提示するという言説戦略によって、何とか核家族制度を維持する方向の記述がなされていることが示唆された。Change of a notion of family was investigated by analyzing 26 high-school textbooks of homemaking. First, words appeared in the content list of textbook was analyzed by correspondence analysis to grasp overall tendency. As a result, it was found that a nuclear family was emphasized in comparison with traditional household immediately after the war, followed by family as a target of management in the period of rapiod economic growth in 1960s-1980s. But, seemingly, the notion is returning to what used to be immediately after the war in these twenty years. Second, content analysis of a main body of textbook showed, however, that a dichotomy of `nuclear family vs. its decline\u27 has led to the emphasis on maintenance of nuclear family by indirect persuation like presenting statistical data that indicated relatively more frequency of nuclear family rather than unmarried life
