丰田市是日本汽车工业的中心,拥有超大型工业社区。近年来,丰田市政府通过“wakuwaku工程”等制度,鼓励市民结成团体参加社区服务,取得了极佳的效果。通过问卷调查发现,大量的丰田退休和在职的员工依托地域职缘关系网络,自愿组成团体,参与社区志愿服务活动。通过进一步的数据分析还发现,汽车产业男性员工的居住长期化、特别是丰田汽车公司员工其职场与居住地相近,职缘及地域纽带较强,赋予了其社区参与的动力。丰田经验显示了一种与西方不同的新型城市发展类型,发达的产业、长期积淀的社会关系资本,为其地域社会的发展奠定了坚实的社会基础。 Toyota is the center of Japan’s automobile industry with a very large industrial community. In recent years, the Toyota City Government has adopted “Wakuwaku Project” and other systems to encourage citizens to form groups to participate in community service and achieved excellent results. According to the survey, a large number of Toyota retired and serving employees relied on the geographical network of job-related relationships to voluntarily form groups and participate in community volunteer service activities. Through further data analysis, it is also found that the long-term residence of male employees in the automotive industry, especially the employees of Toyota Motor Corporation, are similar in terms of their job market and place of residence. Toyota’s experience shows a new type of urban development different from the West, developed industries and long-term accumulation of social relations capital, laying a solid social foundation for the development of its regional society.
