城市老人的孤独问题与社会网研究——以日本东京都三鹰市井头社区为鉴

Elderly people's loneliness and social network in Japanese City and reference worth for China——taking Tokyo MItaka city Inokashira community as an example

文章通过对2009年东京都三鹰市井头社区的定性调查资料的研究,对城市老年人的孤独问题与社会网进行了分析。研究发现,随着年龄的增长,城市老年人的"亲密范围"变得越来越狭小了。他们经常感到孤独的最根本原因是失去老伴后日常生活中没有亲密关系人。

This thesis is an analysis on the issue of social networks and loneliness of the aged in the Japanese city Tokyo,Which is a qualitative research through the survey data taken by the author in Tokyo MItaka city Inokashira community in 2009. With the aged becoming older,their ' close ranges' become increasingly narrow in urban communities of Japan. The cause why they ' often feel lonely' rooted in the fact that they had no intimate people in daily life after they lost their spouses.
