An analysis of the socio-psychological impact of urbanization: a case study of Tsukuba New Town for Education and Scientific Research, Japan.

In the stable and typically traditional farming area of the Tsukuba region, a town named the Tsukuba New Town for Education and Scientific Research has been built. Into this developing, yet still provincial town have surged many would-be permanent inhabitants, urbanites endowed with academic backgrounds, experienced in intellectural work, and familiar with urban life-styles and ideas. Thus, the original residents have had to undergo a rapid urbanization due to the construction of the new town and communication with newcomers in various aspects of their daily lives. The purpose of this paper is to describe quantitatively the transformation of the original residents in the process of urbanization in respect to their traditional attitudes, conceptions, values, and opinions by analyzing survey data collected during the past five years. A kind of the cultural assimilation process of original residents to newcomers can be quantitatively described according to the influences from the new town.
