“…Within a specific metropolitan area, a continuum of land uses from urban to agricultural is characterized by a concentric structure centered on that metropolitan area (Bryant 1981). This structure consists of a built-up area known as a concentrated core, an urban fringe, an urban shadow, and a rural hinterland, and spatial differences within the structure are mainly related to the impact of urbanization, which most strikingly is reflected in the land-use patterns of the urban fringe (Bryant et al 1982; Kikuchi and Moran 1990;Kikuchi 1994;Kikuchi 2002). Because, in the urban fringe, the same characteristics that make land desirable for agricultural use make it desirable for urban use, agricultural land use and "rurality" (the atmosphere and cultural traits of the countryside) decline as urban land use and "urbanity" (the atmosphere and cultural traits of a city) come to dominate the urban fringe (Ilbery 1985).…”

In this paper we point to "rurality" as an option within "urbanity" in the urban fringe of the Tokyo metropolitan area as well as discuss some ways for recreating rurality and a mechanism for restructuring it within a sustainable rural system. Rural and urban residents have been mixed in the urban fringe, and rurality has been diminishing with the increasing number of urbanites and the decreasing amount of rural land use. In some parts of the urban fringe, however, a sustainable rural system has been restructured through the establishment of farm shops, social networks, and activities connected to the conservation of forestland. These functions as a node to connect rurality with urbanity, and reinforcing this connection over time has led to the development of a sustainable rural system that comprehensively combined characteristics of rural and urban communities. Explaining how a sustainable rural system is restructured through intertwining rurality and urbanity is an important issue for contemporary geographical studies.

“…These coun tryside characteristics are also prominent in the landscape and land use (Ilbery 1985;Yamamoto and Tabayashi 1987). Recently, geographical studies on the surrounding areas of the city have discussed the changes caused by city de velopment, natural environment and socio economic, historical and cultural environment of the cities (Munton 1974;Bryant et al 1985;Kikuchi and Moran 1990;Bryant and Johnston 1992;Marsden et al 1996;Kikuchi et al 1997). However, these studies fail to explain such issues as the relations between the above mentioned sectors in the changes of the city's surrounding areas and analysis in terms of tem poral and spatial characteristics and landscape of countryside.…”

The Characteristics of Rural Change in the Inner Urban Fringe of Beijing City, China

This paper aims to illustrate the changes in a rural area called Rutang Village in the inner urban fringe of Beijing City. The landscape surrounding Rutang Village and its land use pattern appear very rural. However, in spite of this appearance most of the labor force in Rutang Village is engaged in industrial activities. In short, agriculture-oriented society is shifting to industry-oriented in the area. In other words, Rutang Village is going through a transitional period from a purely rural village to an industrial workers' village. The emergence of the transition is due to the development of township and village enterprises, and the advantage of the closeness to Beijing City. Its functions related to agricultural production are strengthened by the administrative orders imposed by the Government of Beijing City, for Rutang Village provides mainly grain production. A collective farm management system is adopted in order to fulfill production quotas. At the same time, outside labor force are hired to maintain agricultural production level. Rutang Village has formed an original agricultural production model. In the survey of Rutang Village, it became apparent that changes of land use, social and organizational structure and economic activity are due to changes of state policies which contribute to a liberal circumstance for peasants in the inner fringe of Beijing City after the reform and opening. Meanwhile, it has also become apparent that there are influences from external factors such as industrialization and urbanization interacting with internal factors such as agro-technical advance and changes in peasants' life styles.

The Commodification of Rurality and its Sustainability in the Jike Area, Yokohama City, the Tokyo Metropolitan Fringe

In this paper the author focuses on rurality as an option of urbanity in the Jike area, Yokohama city, the Tokyo metropolitan fringe, and discusses the sustainable commodification of rural space in the area. Following his discussion, the author identifies some conditions that supported the commodification of rurality and their interaction in the outer fringe of the Metropolitan area. In the Jike area, the decrease in area of rural forests (satoyama) has led to the decline of rural landscape; the development of affordable housing lots in the outer fringe and the continuous inflow of urban residents into the newly developed areas have led to serious conflicts between rural and urban land uses. Recently however, activities that aim at recreating rurality, such as conservation of rural forests, have been promoted as a means to mitigate such conflicts, and to develop these areas as nodes of rurality and urbanity. Thus, the perpetuation of rurality has been assured by the sustainable relationships between rurality and urbanity. The conservation of rurality facilitates the commodification of rural spaces, a process which has played an important role in developing rurality-based tourism.
