京都市都心部における地蔵盆の運営実態と参加者の多様性: レジリエントなコミュニティ形成に果たす地蔵盆の役割に関する研究

摘要

現代の社会は、大規模自然災害や、少子高齢化に伴う人口構造の転換等、多くの「不確実な変化」に晒されている。近年、そのような「不確実な変化」への対応を考える上で「レジリエンス」という概念が注目されている。「レジリエンス」とは、「自らの基本的な特徴は維持しながらも変化に柔軟に対応する能力jを指し、柳の木の 枝が持つような「しなやかな強さ」に例えられる。レジリェンスの必要性は様々な分野で議論されてきたが、近年は地域まちづくりの分野でも「レジリエントなコミュニティ形成」が課題である。%In this paper, we examined actual condition of management of Jizo-bon in the central area of Kyoto-city and analyzed component of participants of Jizo-bon. As the result, we clarified people (ex. apartment residents) who tend to be unfamiliar with community activities also join in Jizo-bon. This result means that Jizo-bon play a role in the creation of a resilient community in terms of improving the "diversity" of community members which is one of the basic characteristics of resilient communities. In addition, we considered about the reason why Jizo-bon play a rore described as above. We pointed out that Jizo-bon has "flexibility" from view of selectivity of events, number of participants and place corresponded to the situation of each communities. These results suggest that community resources like Jizo-bon which has experienced change in the long time and succeeded as "the core" of community is meaningful in local community management in the era of uncertainty.
