Civil activities are manifold in the city, but networking is defined as consistent social movements in which citizens create life culture, trying to solve social contradictions voluntarily. The meaning of networking will be explained by making a mutually-related examination of the principles of civil activity in the movement, organization and creative culture.
My view of the matter is hypothesized by dividing into twelve standards in this essay in which I have been studying the characteristic features of networking, taking up some cases of civil activities to produce co-developing power among local inhabitants in urbanized societies in Japan today.
Consequently the question is that the networking raises the tension both on the self-governing body's administration and on the local organization (CHONAIKAI) in Japan. Therefore an important problem is how to create a primary network based upon daily voluntary activities. Such a daily activity is expected to exercise a basic influence both upon the administration and the local organization, creating a new way of community life. Another problem is that an inevitable change in consciousness is brought on the side of the staff actually engaged in administrating.
To solve the two problems we must notice inhabitants' universally-oriented autonomy especially in Japan's networking. Studying this form of networking has revealed contradictions lurking in the city. On the other hand, the more urgently important the solution becomes, the more amplified the qualitative networking linked with civil activities becomes while the networking itself has contradictions and complications. It is yet to be expected that a dynamic law of the networking in Japan's urbanized societies can be defined by researching such action, organization and culture as created by civil movements.
