摘要

現代社会、特に都市において、コミュニティの形骸化やコミュニケーションの希薄化が言われてきたが、近年ではこうした状況がさらに進行し、社会的孤立が課題となっている。高齢者の孤独死問題、行方不明高齢者問題、主婦の孤立と児童虐待、若者のひきこもり、子どもの遊び集団の縮小など年齢階層を超えて、孤立に関連した問題が拡がりを見せている。マスコミにおいても、こうした社会現象を総合的に捉え「無縁社会」等の造語で問題提起がなされている。%This paper aim to clarify the situation of the individualization and the isolation in suburban area among residents in the view point of recreational life, as it had already occurred in cities. It makes clear as follows. 1. The recreational activities are tended to be done in houses, districts far from the village and not to be done in the village area. 2. The recreational life individualization is observed. 70% of villagers, 70% of old residents and 60 % of full-time farmers, are mainly spend recreational life alone or with their families. 3. The widespread of recreational life individualization are caused by that i) residents think family matters are superior to joining the society, meeting with friends, ii) the stress of labor condition promote having recreational time alone or with the family, iii) younger generations are lack of friend in the village area.
