<Articles>Redevelopment of Station Areas and Local Communities in the 1980s and 1990s: A Case Study of Yamashina Station, Kyoto
No full text本稿は、一九八〇～九〇年代に京都市山科駅前にて実施された再開発事業を事例に、再開発をめぐる反対派と賛成派の住民対立がどのように生じ、さらに解消されて、再開発への合意が形成されるに至ったのかを解明したものである。同分野の先行研究では、階層間に分化した地域住民間の意思統一を困難なものと捉え、意見対立が激化または顕在化しないよう事業規模を縮小した事例のみを対象とし、対立が本格化した事例を分析してこなかった。そのため、再開発が合意されるに至る要因は明らかではなかった。それらに対し、本稿では、再開発により生じると見なされた利害が、駅前通両側の東部とそこからやや離れた旧商店街の西部では異なっていたため、再開発に反対する東部とそれに賛成または中立の立場に立つ西部に二分される地域間対立として現出したこと、両派が歩み寄り合意に至る条件として、再開発を推進する京都市が積極的な役割を果たしたことを明らかにした。This paper examines the redevelopment project carried out in front of Yamashina Station in Kyoto City during the 1980s and 1990s. Specifically, it analyzes how conflicts between residents who opposed and supported redevelopment emerged, how these conflicts were eventually resolved, and how consensus on redevelopment was ultimately reached. Previous research has generally perceived consensus-building among residents as difficult and has not analyzed cases where conflicts became intense. As a result, the factors leading to successful agreement on redevelopment projects have remained unclear. To clarify the interests of the parties involved in the redevelopment, this paper first examines the historical development of the Yamashina Station area, the problems the area faced before redevelopment, and the social composition of the local residents. The Yamashina Station area developed into an urban center before World War II, following the establishment of two railway stations: one by Japan National Railways (now JR West) and the other by Keishin Electric Railway (now Keihan Electric Railway). Due to its convenient location near the center of Kyoto City, numerous factories were built in the area, leading to an influx of population and urbanization. Furthermore, during Japan's period of rapid economic growth following the war, the broader Yamashina region developed as a commuter town for Osaka, resulting in a sharp increase in population. However, infrastructure development in the area surrounding the station lagged. Compared to the commercial facilities built along major roads in the southern part of Yamashina, the commercial status of the station area had declined in relative terms. Concerned about this decline, local shop owners in the station-front shopping district called for redevelopment. However, differences in attitudes toward redevelopment among residents led to disputes over the project. This paper then examines the conflicts among residents that arose in response to the redevelopment plan proposed by Kyoto City. The opposition was not structured along class lines, such as a conflict between landowners and tenants. Instead, it manifested as a geographical divide, with residents in the eastern and western parts of the station area having conflicting interests. Initially, residents in the eastern part of the station area, who opposed redevelopment, refused to acknowledge the project altogether. They even launched boycotts against businesses owned by moderate residents who were willing to listen to Kyoto City's explanations. This opposition forced Kyoto City to indefinitely postpone its planned briefing sessions for local stakeholders, resulting in a temporary suspension of the redevelopment project. However, Kyoto City took proactive steps to resolve the conflict and move the project forward. First, in response to the demands of opposition residents, the city temporarily “froze” the original redevelopment plan. Additionally, the redevelopment of the Yamashina Station area was reclassified as a “related project” under the rubric of the Kyoto Municipal Subway Tozai Line expansion. This change meant that the redevelopment might generate substantial benefits not only for the station area but for Kyoto as a whole. As a result, opposition members began to soften their stance. Furthermore, Kyoto City actively engaged with supportive and neutral residents by organizing discussion forums and inviting some opposition members to participate. This approach helped ease distrust toward the city among opposition residents. In addition to fostering dialogue, Kyoto City made significant efforts to accommodate the demands of those affected by relocation. The city worked to ensure that commercial activities and residential conditions were preserved as much as possible. For commercial stakeholders, Kyoto City not only provided temporary shop spaces so that businesses could continue operating during the construction of the redevelopment building, but it also allowed tenant shop owners to purchase additional floor space in the new building. These measures demonstrated the city's commitment to minimizing the negative impact of redevelopment on existing businesses. Ultimately, Kyoto City played an active role in balancing the needs of various stakeholders, reducing opposition, and fostering consensus. Even after the redevelopment was completed, the existing shopping district managed to maintain cooperative relationships, ensuring continuity and stability in the local economy
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
