• Refereed, Urban Geography, Japanese Urban Geography, History of the Formation of Entertainment Districts in Sasebo City during the Postwar Years::A Focus on the Relationships among Various Agents, YOSHIDA Yoko,

  Social relationships, understood as interactions among agents, become tangible when reflected in spaces. Therefore, it is essential to consider social relationships, which manifest in those cities being examined as research subjects. This article investigates how we can understand such spaces, using the example of Sasebo City, Nagasaki. Focusing on the entertainment districts (particularly the red-light districts) during the postwar years, this article seeks to explain clearly the relationship between the authorities—the state and regional administrations—and various agents; how these institutions considered the latter as "other"; and, finally, how this was reflected in the formation and reorganization of entertainment districts. Using a local newspaper and administration records from the years immediately following the war as sources, this article investigates the emergence of Sasebo's entertainment districts.

  The second chapter considers the emergence of red-light districts and foreigner bars immediately after the war and investigates which prewar characteristics of the entertainment and commercial districts survived and continued into the postwar years. The third chapter discusses the distribution of whorehouses for the US army and the presence of their owners, who became an institution during the economic boom from the Korean War. The fourth chapter considers how these foreigner bars and the red-light district for the US army addressed the discipline and hygiene control enacted by the US army and the Sasebo authorities. It applies this knowledge to understand the conflict arising among the different stakeholders active in entertainment districts. The fifth chapter then traces the process of reorganizing the foreigner bars and two red-light districts (one for the US army and the other for the Japanese) by focusing on Sasebo's economic depression and the enactment of the Anti-Prostitution Law following the Korean Armistice Agreement. Because of these factors, some of the foreigner bars hit by the economic depression transformed their businesses into cinemas or marketplaces and began welcoming Japanese customers. When whorehouses for both the US army and Japanese reorganized as one group, a sexual space was reproduced. However, because of the impending enactment of the Anti-Prostitution Law, both whorehouses began to transition into Japanese inns and were made open to the general public to rent. However, the foreigner bar district was free from the influence of this law, and therefore the situation there did not change. The examples above represent some of the methods used in response to each situation by which Sasebo authorities, whorehouse owners, and prostitutes reorganized spaces of pleasure into dynamic spaces in postwar Sasebo, while dealing with the control and authority of the Allied Forces (primarily the US Army).

• Refereed, GEOGRAPHICAL SCIENCES, THE JAPANESE SOCIETY FOR GEOGRAPHICAL SCIENCES, Reaction of Local Community against a Facility for U.S. Forces and the Neighboring Amusement Street : The Case of Nara Rest and Recuperation Center, YOSHIDA Yoko, The purpose of this paper is to examine people's views on "panpans" (prostitutes), pimps, and the American soldiers who frequented the amusement street neighboring the Nara Rest and Recuperation Center, which was established on May 1, 1952, for American soldiers returning from the Korean War. The paper also presents the negative effects of the panpans, pimps, and soldiers on the local residents and Nara, an ancient city and a tourist destination, and clarifies how the local residents, Nara city, Nara Prefecture, and the Japanese government handled these effects. The amusement street appeared as soon as the Nara Rest and Recuperation Center was set up in the former town of Yokoryou-chou in Nara city. Two main local newspapers reported that some groups of pimps and their panpans tempted American soldiers in the amusement street, and then the local residents thought pimps and panpans were immoral. It can be said that the amusement street was a place where panpans sold themselves to American soldiers. The local residents became anxious about the amusement street, because in addition to causing educational problems for their children, it spoiled the image of Nara as an age-old and a tourist city. The local residents blamed the Nara Rest and Recuperation Center for the presence of the amusement street and demanded the relocation/abolition of the center. It is interesting to note that the Nara UNESCO cooperation meeting assumed a leading role in the demand for the relocation/abolition of the Nara Rest and Recuperation Center, citing the effect of the amusement street, with its panpans and pimps, on the children's education as the main reason. The cooperation meeting was originally a civic organization that strived to preserve and protect the culture and natural heritage of Nara, and so it emphasized the necessity of protecting the old culture of Nara. It demanded that the center not be relocated but abolished. It can be said that some of the activities in the demand for the relocation/abolition of the Nara Rest and Recuperation Center were done in the different context, protecting the old culture, from the practices at Yokohama and Kokura. From a viewpoint of gender, it should be pointed out that the problem which panpans could not but sell themselves to American soldiers was not discussed in the activities that demanded for the relocation/abolition of the Nara Rest and Recuperation Center. The local residents of the amusement street as well as its managers, panpans, and pimps were deceived when the Japanese government and U.S. Forces authorities suddenly changed their manner of dealing with the center. Soon after the official announcement that the Rest and Recuperation Center was moved from Yokoryou-chou in Nara to the city of Kobe, it was decided that the U.S. Armed Forces Marine Corps be stationed in Nara city for a while. The marines in Nara actually went to private houses and hospitals at midnight and asked for women. This suggests that so long as an army exists, the problems of gender over violence and sex, which military affairs contained, cannot be solved., 2010, 65, 4, 245, 265, 10.20630/chirikagaku.65.4_245

• Refereed, E-journal GEO, The Association of Japanese Geographers, Gender Studies in Human Geography: Observation on Gender Relations Hidden in Space, YOSHIDA Yoko, Gender studies have accepted in the various disciplines, which aim at making clear the structure of system that keeps female under male dominance and power relations that occur there. In the 1970s, many female geographers in the English-speaking countries criticized that traditional geography inclined toward masculinism and they endeavored to show asymmetrical power relations between men and women which are projected on space. The first purpose of this paper is to overview the progress of gender studies in the English-speaking countries. The second purpose is to review gender studies in Japanese geography. Thirdly, I would like to show two examples in order to examine gender relations hidden between men and women at private level, which are transformed to bigger power relations and then are reflected and projected on space. One example is the residential section that should also be called a "surveillance space" built in suburbs of the metropolitan area, and another is the pleasures area built for the U.S. soldiers in Okinawa when construction of military bases has begun in the 1950s., 2006, 1, 1, 22, 29, 10.4157/ejgeo.1.22

• Refereed, Geographical Review of Japa,. Ser. A, Chirigaku Hyoron, The Association of Japanese Geographers, The Development of Feminist Geography in Europe and North America, YOSHIDA Yohko, This paper reviews the theoretical development of feminist geography in Europe and North Ameri ca, and discusses some issues with which feminist geography is concerned at present. As feminists have blamed male hegemony, which has dominated scholarship, for excluding of women from the production of knowledge, so feminist geographers have led the debate on the exclusion of women from the production of geographical knowledge. Monk and Hanson, in their 1982 paper, titled ‘On not excluding half of the human in human geography’, began the discussion of the exclusive production of geographical knowledge by men.
  The second section explains the historical and social context of feminist geography and how it has developed, dividing the process generally into two stages: (1) From the mid-1970's to the late 1980's: In the mid-1970's, feminist geography, which emerged as a criticism of excluding women as objects of study, began to focus on such women, who are situated unequally in both public and private spheres, and then attempted to describe and map the situation of women in detail. Throughout the 1980's, influenced by Marxism and social feminism, feminist scholarship aimed to do away with sex discrimination and female exploitation by working against both capitalism and the patriarchy which promote sexual inequality. (2) From the end of the 1980's to the present : Feminist geographers placed women into the production of geographical knowledge, restoring the positive value of “femininity”. They began with examinations of difference and diversity among women and with discussions on the construction of gender and identity. Then feminist geograhers started to take an interest not only in sexual difference but also in race, religion, and class as causes of social inequality. Besides discussing how gender was constructed through spatial images, representation, meanings and environment, which are freed from real boundaries, women geographers began to investigate the influence of postcolonialism and the anti-Western tradition which it founded. To claim knowledge is the most important issue for feminist geography in recent years. When time and space change, social relations are reconstructed. So the construction of a partial or situated knowledge is often necessary.
  The third section, referring to Harvey (1989), who examines the relation between postmodernism and feminism, and including the critical view of Deutshe (1991) and Massey (1991), points out that post modernism fails to notice an important aspect of discourse -the differences and diversity of feminism and that it cannot emerge from the shell of authority which places men at the center.
  The fourth section, in the context of postfordism, discusses the reconstruction of male and female labor forces into what McDowell (1991) called a “new gender order” in the labor market.
  The concluding section lists three issues with which feminist geography is concerned holds today: the interdependence of feminism and geography, feminist geography and masculinity, and skepticism about theorizing in feminist geography., Apr. 1996, 69, 4, 242, 262, 10.4157/grj1984a.69.4_242

• Refereed, The Human Geography, The Human Geographical Society of Japan, Changes in labor force supply and the gender division of labor : a report from the textile industry (in Japanese), YOSHIDA Yoko, An elucidation of the labor market's structure has been one issue under debate in textile industry studies in economic geography in Japan. Many reports explain socio-economic attributes including sex, age and pay from detailed investigation, and define the labor force in the labor market. It goes without saying that the textile industry is typically labor-oriented, in that it employs a younger female labor force which is placed at the bottom of the pay scale. And textile studies have pointed out the structure of the labor market, paying attention to this younger female labor force, however, but have not yet examined the discussion that labor quality, which is related to gender difference, is an important factor that places female labor force in such a position within the labor market. Moreover, there is a growing need for consideration of labor quality in the context of a new production system, that is 'flexible production', therefore it is thought that in the complicated and multiplied labor structure today, an examination from the standpoint of gender is important.This article attempts to examine the male and female labor force in the textile industry placed in the labor market, focusing on their labor quality. Currently, technological innovation and restructuring are also under way in the textile industry in Japan. There have, however, been few detailed reports of the topic of gender difference in the labor market, that is to say, about how these factors affect the supply structure of male and female workers in the labor market and the gender division of labor. The subject hitherto has received but scant attention even in foreign countries irrespective of differences in industrial sector. Worthy of note in our country is that since the 1980's, sociologists and economists have been engaged in exploring macro aspects such as nationwide trends of division of labor by sex. Nonetheless, they have neither dealt with the spatial dimensions of the trends nor have they made an exhaustive study of a particular industry or region. Thus it cannot be denied that their studies are far from satisfactory especially at meso or micro levels. Needless to say, these problems must be solved through geographical investigations.Keeping in mind the status quo of research, the second section of this paper examines spatial dimensions of gender difference in the local labor market of each manufacturing sector in Aichi Prefecture, which shows one of the highest rates of manufacturing workers in Japan. A difference of dependence on female labor force between manufacturing sectors, and the changing of dependence on their labor force from the transition period (1970) to recent years (1985) were clear. The following shows that concretely. A higher female employment rate (60∼68%) in the textile sector in both 1970 and 1985 suggests that this sector depends on female labor forces. However, contrasting to this sector, steel, general machinery and transportation machinery have a lower female employment rate (10∼30%). This suggests the existence of a sector-specific gender division of labor. Moreover, a remarkable reduction of the female employment rate in the textile sectors observed in two regions, both the western part of Owari and the southwestern part of Mikawa. The former region, which is a traditional textile district and has a high rate of industrial added-value, is selected as the study area here.The third section is devoted to exploring a changing source of labor force supply in this region. Examination is made for two separate periods: from the special procurement boom of the Korean War (1950∼53) to the first oil crisis in 1973, young female workers (especially new school leavers) were dominant, while, after the crisis, middle-aged and old workers have played a major role., Dec. 1994, 46, 4, 1-22, 580, 10.4200/jjhg1948.46.559

• Refereed, GEOGRAPHICAL SCIENCES, THE JAPANESE SOCIETY FOR GEOGRAPHICAL SCIENCES, Recent Reorganization of Economic Base in Mountain Village--A Report from Kanayama in Central Japan, YOSHIDA Yoko, This paper seeks to clarify recent changes of economic base in mountain village, where water power sources were developed during the high economic growth period of the two decades since the mid-1950s and in a short term, a remarkable increase and decrease in population due to the dam construction was found. Special attention is devoted to elucidate how the village, which was affected greatly by the dam construction in economic and financial terms, has reorganized the base, by examining micro characteristics of employment and wage by each household and worker. The study area is Kanayama-cho. Gifu Prefecture in Central Japan. Its key features are discussed in the second section. In the third section, the changing base of Kanayama's economy in terms of its industry and finance is examined as a whole, by comparing the two periods before and after 1976, when the three dams in the municipality were completed. During the first period, when they were under construction, establishments and employed person had an increase in number. Moreover, the municipality positively invited factories to the sites which were repaired in relation to the dam construction. Immediately after the completion of the construction work, the financial ability index remarkably rose owing to the upturn of the fixed property tax to the local tax. Nevertheless, there was a slump in construction industry and no remarkable growth of employment opportunity was found. As the property associated with the dams was redeemed, an increase of the revenue was not expected. As a result, the financial ability index gradually decreased, although the designation of kaso-chiiki (or serious depopulation area) was canceled in 1980. These imply the municipality's unstable economic base, which could change in relatively short term. The fourth section elucidates micro-level features of the economic bases, specifically employment and wage structure by each household and worker, based on the questionnaire survey in 1990 for the sample factories and households. Although the rate of intra-municipality employment is quite high (more than ninety percent), a minute inquiry shows that male workers between the twentieth and fortieth tend to work outside the municipality than those of the fiftieth and more. Besides, because of continuous outflow of young labor force, there are rather rich employment opportunites for female workers and middle-aged and old male workers at local manufacturing plants. It is also indicated that the wages of "female jobs" for married women of the late twentieth and thirtieth are as high as, or higher than, the ones of men of the same age. These married female workers tend to live together with their mathers-in-law, who can take partial charge of housework and child-rearing. Since the completion of the dam construction. Kanayama succeeded in forming its own local labor market, particularly in the division of manufacturing and assembly. However, whereas the middle-aged and old male workers have played the central part, female workers can be regarded as supplementary and marginal. Additionally, it should be noted that the labor market has lacked young workers., 1993, 48, 4, 233, 254, 10.20630/chirikagaku.48.4_233

• Refereed, Japanese Journal of Human Geography, The Human Geographical Society of Japan, Geographical Studies on Women's Employment in English-speaking Countries and Their Implications for Japanese Geography, YOSHIDA Yohko, This paper seeks to review the existing geographical literature in the English-speaking countries concerned with women's employment, which has been quite a popular topic since the second half of the 1970s, and to obtain implications for Japanese geography, which has paid little attention to the subject thus far. The viewpoint here is limited to employed women workers living within metropolitan areas or their suburbs.
  In the second section, the background of interests in a proliferation of the topic as an important component of gender research is sought. In this regard, the author refers to the recent tendencies, especially in metropolitan areas of these countries, of expanding female-headed households (caused by a rise of marriage and childbearing age, a decreasing birth rate and an increasing labor participation rate), an increase of poor women and the impacts of economic restructuring of labor market.
  The third section, with the two sub-sections titled behavioral approach and structural approach, based on Rutherford and Wekerle's terminology, is devoted to a detailed introduction of and a brief commentary on the previous studies obtained in the English-speaking world. The former approach treats the four specific themes of commuting/ residential choice, time use, feminization of poverty' and labor market segmentation by gender, while the latter deals with the three themes of the impact of economic restructuring, feminization of poverty, and the relationship between local labor market and regional policy. It is demonstrated that the two approaches should be complementary, implying that integrating them will potentially contribute to a fuller understanding of the complicated female employment situation in segmented labor markets in the real world.
  Then, in the fourth section, after a brief explanation of temporal change of Japan's labor market since the 1960s, when the women's employment rate began to rise rapidly in the context of fast economic growth, the previous literature on women's employment in the fields of economics and sociology, which expressed an earlier concern for this subject than geography in Japan, is referred to. A few papers in our discipline are also reviewed.
  In the concluding section, possible future tasks in Japanese geography are discussed. Spatial aspects of women's employment and the female labor market should be elucidated by geographers, since the past studies by economists and sociologists are insufficient in a spatial sense. Moreover, although employed women workers have often been regarded as ‘homo economicus’ in economics and economic geography, such a one-sided perspective, which can lead to a view that they are the subjects of exploitation by capital, is highly dangerous in light of an increasing tendency towards individualism and a diversification of value system in current society. The first segmentation of the labor market, or division of all workers into managerials (the primary labor market) and semi-skilled or unskilled blue collar (and partially white collar) workers (the secondary labor market) has intensively been under way in the context of a changing capital accumulation toward a flexible manufacturing system. Note that most employed women workers are included in the secondary labor market. Additionally, another or ‘secondary segmentation’ (Horn-Kawashima, 1985) has also been taking place within the secondary labor market, implying a division of all employed women workers into elite and mass. Specific spatial aspects of this ‘secondary segmentation’ have remained unclarified, although those of the first one have been discussed rather minutely., 1993, 45, 1, 44, 67, 10.4200/jjhg1948.45.44

  1．シンポジウム開催の背景と目的

  1960年代に欧米諸国で始まった第二波フェミニズムの担い手たちがアカデミアにも参入したことで，社会的文化的に構築されるジェンダーという概念が生み出された。1970年代に欧米諸国において誕生し展開してきたフェミニスト地理学の背景には，第二波フェミニズムのみならず，同時代に地理学内に興った人文主義地理学の影響もある。

  1990年代に入り，フェミニスト地理学研究がようやく日本の地理学界で紹介されるようになった。当初は，地理学に内在する男性中心主義や覇権主義に対する批判的議論が提起されるとともに，都市／郊外を事例に公的／私的空間の二項対立構造の中で生産／再生産労働を強いられる既婚女性の生活空間などに，多くの研究者が関心をもった。

  近年では，経済のグローバル化，新自由主義的な福祉政策の導入，労働市場における分業体制のフレキシブルな再編，価値観やライフスタイルの変化，心の性と身体の性の一致を自明視してきた従来の性自認（ジェンダー・アイデンティティ）の揺らぎ，などの影響を受け，二項対立的空間構造を前提としては捉えきれない社会経済的現実が生じてきている。さらに，近年の海外の地理学研究において身体という空間スケールをめぐる事象に関心が集まるようになると，日本の地理学においても，地図上には表象されにくい身体レベルの空間を対象とする研究や，日常空間が異性愛主義に満ちていることをセクシュアル・マイノリティの視点から検証する研究，都市空間における女性の身体をめぐる問題を国家権力の介在に着目して究明した研究など，その視点は多様化している。

  こうした潮流を受け，シンポジウムのテーマを「ジェンダーの視点から何が見えるようになったか」と設定した。各報告者の研究において，ジェンダーの視点から何を語ることができるのか，何を解明できるのかを報告していただき，それらを踏まえ，日本の地理学研究における成果や到達点，今後の課題，さらには，空間・場所を探究する地理学がジェンダーの視点を用いる有効性について議論する。

  ２．シンポジウムの概要

  第１部では，各報告者が，自身の研究で「ジェンダーの視点から何が見えるようになったか」を発表する（報告者と題目は以下を参照）。影山穂波氏「地理学におけるジェンダー視点の課題と展望」，久木元美琴氏「福祉サービスの地理学的研究におけるジェンダーの視点—保育・子育て支援の地理学の到達点と課題—」，湯澤規子氏「在来・近代産業を支える「労働」と「生活」の関係と論理—「生きること」を論じるジェンダー地理学—」，原口剛氏「マルクス主義とフェミニズムの接点—寄せ場・野宿の運動からの視角—」，須崎成二氏「空間／場所と性的少数者の視点」。第2部では，熊谷圭知氏とオーガナイザーの吉田からのコメントの後，関村オリエ氏の司会で総合討論の場を設ける。本シンポジウムを通じて，ジェンダーを含めた多様で重層的なアイデンティティの構築に関する検討が，社会的経験の産物としての空間・場所の理解にいかに重要であるかを確認する。

My field survey in Kin-cho (Okinawa prefecture) showed that population flows from other areas, especially isolated islands around the Okinawa mainland, towards the entertainment district around the U.S. military base, in contrast to local people who despise businesses affecting public morals. Of late, the previous entertainment district has become a “receptacle” that accepts Filipinas owing to the progress of globalization. My survey of the Sorachi area (Hokkaido prefecture) showed that coal miners and their families, who had moved from various parts of the country to the Sorachi coal-mining area, identified their village as living spaces based on their relationships with their neighbors., url;kaken

The purpose of this study was almost attained by explaining the process of production of gendered spaces and revealing the various powers reflected in those spaces.

(Term of project 2000-2002, Grant-in Aid for Scientific Research (B) (1)Analysis of geographical spaces from the viewpoint of gender, Head investigator : YOSHIDA Yoko, Project number : 12480016) In our last research project, we adopted gender and feminist viewpoint for geography and examined that spaces are always produced and reproduced by gender. Based on our result, the main purpose of this research is to show various factors including gender (in other words, power relations) which influence the production and reproduction of spaces. Because the historical context of Okinawa is very different from the Japanese mainland('hondo'), it is easy to grasp power relations being reflected in the urban space of Okinawa. YOSHIDA Yoko and KATO studied what kind of political power relations influenced pleasure areas (Kanraku-gai) where it was formed in the urban space of Okinawa in the postwar reconstruction term, by using the newspaper accounts in those days. KANDA paid attention to the sightseeing in Okinawa of the prewar term. He made sure that the gendered imaginative geography which male sightseer from hondo had reflected on Tsuji red-right district and this district strengthened a character as tourist space for men. OSHIRO did field work on Hawaiian settlers from Okinawa in Honolulu. He focused on the construction of their identity which was rooted in 'their place'. FUKUDA selected three museums where collect materials of Okinawa Battle. She pointed out each person's memories of the last war are displayed as whole memory or local memory of the area in these museums. YOSHIDA Michiyo paid attention to the migrant works from Okinawa to 'hondo', and explained the economic system over these workers. In addition, she exposed the existence of powers which include Okinawa into the external labor market of hondo. Okinawa in the prewar term was being seen as others from hondo, and in the postwar reconstruction term U.S.Armed Forces exploited Okinawa economically and politically and the bodies of Okinawa women, too. Power relations (including gender) are being reflected in the geographical space, Okinawa. We could show it (thought it was a part) in this research project., kaken

However, in Japan, since this kind of research is behind English-speaking countries and to have common theoretical framework among investigators, we translated Feminism and Geography (Polity Press and 1993), written by G.Rose who is one of the feminist geographers in UK, which has received high evaluation in English-speaking countries. And we were able to get a rich store of knowledge (this result is already published as a translated version from Chijin-Shobou in 2001). Following the publication of our translated version, we began to translate some papers of D.Massey which develops alternative space theory in the new context after postmodern getting an assistance of research cooperators who are in graduate course (Sugiyama and Haraguchi). (This result is also publishing schedule as a translated version after a while). The research using the feminist's viewpoint is still in the early stage in Japan. In this project we had an opportunity to communicate with overseas researchers by sending our information towards the foreign countries actively and aimed also at foundation-making which develops the feminist geography of our country into the next stage. A certain degree, our goal was attained by presentations of five investigators in the academic meeting held in the foreign countries every year. Especially in 2002, four persons including a research cooperator (Yamada) made oral presentations in 3rd International Critical Geography Conference, Hungary Bekescsaba. It was very significant chance to show how Japanese geographers struggle to gender issues in the context of East Asia., kaken
