“…The urban residents who sympathized with Takeda's shared village and became SONMIN had a sex ratio of 59 males to 41 females, and this roughly coincides with the sex ratio of Internet users in Japan. Additionally, most of these people were between the ages of 25-45, and it was supposed that this was the class of people who had work experience as working adults [9][10][11]. Takeda defined the target of his project as people working in cities who were tired of city life and wanted relief.…”

This paper examines cases based on the hypothesis that using a regional vitalization technique that employs social media will create better relationships for the communities of both regional and urban residents by bridging the abundant regional resources of hometown areas and the human and material resources possessed by urban residents. It seems like the information technology skills and resources that urban residents possess could potentially develop into innovations that create new social capital by influencing old communities of regional residents. The development of IT has made it possible to create a bridge between regional and urban residents using things like SNS and crowd funding. The decline of local communities due to a reduced population is an important factor that has an impact on the future of the entirety of Japan. In response to this problem, the young generation is making attempts to vitalize regions based on a relationship of sharing, co-creation, and sympathy that come from sharing the same space by using IT. The general idea of a share village is that old Japanese-style homes in regions are regarded as villages and multiple hometown areas can be chosen for SATOGAERI (Country life experience). This project is an initiative with the objective of preserving old Japanese-style homes that are pieces of history and saving Japan's original landscape for the next 100 years. Thus, bridges are built between regional residents and the resources of urban residents based on a perspective of generating social capital and focusing on structures that are maintained by many people. This paper examines the possibility of generating new social capital through regional vitalization and reviving local communities by creating such bridges, and it presents a new design for local communities.

“…A tool to study social interactions is social network analysis (SNA) which has previously been used in several domains, including natural resources governance or conflict management (Gatewood & Price, 2017;Ngaruiya & Scheffran, 2016). The use of SNA brings together a quantitative and qualitative approach for the integrated analysis of political, economic or social processes in connection to structural and environmental processes (Bodin & Prell, 2011).…”

“…The use of SNA brings together a quantitative and qualitative approach for the integrated analysis of political, economic or social processes in connection to structural and environmental processes (Bodin & Prell, 2011). Conflict has the potential of breaking social structures in a region (Gatewood & Price, 2017). As a result of the conflict between Boko Haram insurgents and governmental forces in northeast Nigeria, communities are displaced and forced into new social structures.…”

In this study, we aim to analyze social networks in which internally displaced persons (IDPs) are involved in northeast Nigeria, after they have been displaced by the insurgency of the Boko Haram group. While IDPs usually resettle in camps operated by the government, contacts with host communities are common. We further analyze the potential that such contacts may lead to conflicts between IDPs and their host communities in the Lake Chad region. Data for this study were collected by interviewing IDPs in the Bakassi IDP camp in Maiduguri and by interviewing members of the host community in Maiduguri in close proximity to the Bakassi IDP camp. A Social Network Analysis approach was used to analyze the data, by constructing social network graphs and computing network attributes, mainly the betweenness centrality of actors. The results of the study show on the one hand a mixture of friendly and conflicting relationships between IDPs and the host community from the IDPs’ perspective, and on the other hand, only few contacts between members of the host community and IDPs in the Bakassi IDP camp, from the host community's perspective. The analysis suggests that in the context of conflict present in the Lake Chad region, IDPs and members of the host community mainly use closed networks, to keep available resources and economic opportunities within their communities. We recommend a better service delivery to IDPs but also to members of the host communities who feel neglected as more attention is given to IDPs with the distribution of humanitarian aid.

“…Gatewood and Price [38] analyze a social network of jazz musicians (Reference [39]; n = 198, density = 14.1%) that is available in this KONECT dataset collection. Their response variable is the degree of centrality within this network, which is the principal eigenvector of n-by-n matrix C (Figure 5a).…”

“…Respectively, after a conventional standardizing of the two principal eigenvectors (i.e., dividing each element by its vector's maximum, and then multiplying by 100), the sample variances (without adjusting for covariates) estimate decrease from 20.9 2 and 10.4 2 (ignoring observational correlation) to 15.7 2 and 9.1 2 (accounting for observational correlation). Gatewood and Price [38] analyze a social network of jazz musicians (Reference [39]; n = 198, density = 14.1%) that is available in this KONECT dataset collection.

This paper proposes a new classification of correlated data types based upon the relative number of direct connections among observations, producing a family of correlated observations embracing seven categories, one whose empirical counterpart currently is unknown, and ranging from independent (i.e., no links) to approaching near-complete linkage (i.e., n(n − 1)/2 links). Analysis of specimen datasets from publicly available data sources furnishes empirical illustrations for these various categories. Their descriptions also include their historical context and calculation of their effective sample sizes (i.e., an equivalent number of independent observations). Concluding comments contain some state-of-the-art future research topics.
