    The Indian software industry achieved rapid growth in the 1990's because of the increase of exportation to the developed countries under the liberalization policy. In the process of growth, the locations of the Indian software industry have changed and been restructured. This paper attempts to clarify the actual condition of the development and locational dynamics of the Indian software industry. First, in order to confirm the distribution of the industry, the author analyzes the locations of main companies, using the data of Indian Software Directory issued by NASSCOM. Second, some areas where software companies have agglomerated are isolated, and their structural characteristics are examined. The main findings obtained can be summarized as follows: 1) In the process of the rapid growth since 1990, main companies have only been located in a few specific cities. Most of them are established and aggregated in only 6 areas: the Delhi Capital Region (New Delhi, Noida and Gurgaon), Mumbai and Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Calcutta. In the last ten years, the number of companies and employees in the former 4 areas (Delhi Capital Region, Mumbai and Pune, Bangalore and Chennai) has increased more sharply than the other areas: Hyderabad and Calcutta. 2) The companies' engineer ratio in the cities, such as Mumbai and New Delhi, where many software companies aggregated formerly, is lower than the ratio in the cities agglomerated lately, such as Pune, Noida and Gurgaon. This means that many companies in the formerly agglomerated cities have various functions, such as the management or business, on the other hand, many companies in the cities lately aggregated are specialized to produce softwares or service to customers. 3) The export-oriented companies are concentrated in the southern part of India. However, in the recent years, the number of them has increased also in the new agglomerated cities.

    This paper attempts to clarify the actual features of the decentralizing trend of the software industry through the development of large corporations' software houses.First, in order to confirm the decentralization of the software industry in Japan, changes in the distribution of employees after the 1980's were analyzed.Second, with special reference to the five largest corporations mainly manufacturing computers and software, the development and distribution and the locational trend of their software plants are analyzed, using data from interviews and questionnaires.Third, in order to clarify the locational trend of each software plant, the plants whose data can be used are classified in five categories. Then, the relationships between the distribution of software houses, regional labor markets and branch offices are examined.The main findings obtained can be summarized as follows:1) The Japanese software industry achieved rapid growth in the 1980's. In the process of growth, the employees of the software industry were concentrated in the Tokyo metropolitan area, but the growth rates of such regional central cities as Sapporo, Sendai, Hiroshima and Fukuoka were especially distinguished and in Japan a decentralizing trend in the software industry is in progress.2) The software houses of the five largest corporations mainly have been located in the three metropolitan areas (Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya), and in the four regional central cities. These seven areas are very important regions as footholds for the software producing sectors of the corporations, as shown in Figure 3.3) The software houses which mainly produce control systems for distribution, manufacture, and other systems and have been located in major metropolitan cities, while the houses which mainly produce special computer systems and services for the customer are usually specialised to the business for their customers and manufacture nothing else. Most of them have been located near the customers rather than in metropolitan cities.4) In the eastern part of Japan, the employees of each software house mainly come from the Tokyo metropolitan area. However, in the western part of Japan, the employees are not brought from the Tokyo metropolitan area, but local areas, as shown in Figure 4.5) Many software houses of the corporations have often been located in the cities where the branch offices organized by the same corporation have been also located.

    Since the second oil crisis, the structure of manufacturing industry in Japan has changed remarkably. Process industries, formerly leading sectors, have staguated, while assembly industries such as automobile and electricai machinery industries have grown and expanded rapidly. Such a restructuring of industries and macroeconomy restructuring, for example shifting from manufacturing industries to service industries, have caused the various kinds of regional problems in the cities which had specialized in manufacturing activity until the second oil crisis. It is needed to analyze the cities comprehensively which have been affected by the above restructuring process in the lower economic growth period. The purposes of this paper are (1) to clarify the spatial pattern of those cities using the index of manufacturing specialization in 1972 and 1986, and (2) to examine the chainging spatial pattern of those cities between 1972 and 1986. The author classified those cities based on the index of manufacturing specialization and the ratio of employment change in order to analyze this chainging pattern. The results are suJnrnarised as follows: (1) The cities in Tokyo Metropolitan Region and Nagoya Metropolitan Region have much specialized in manufacturing activity in 1986, while Keihanshin Metropolitan Region and Setouchi Region have declined. (2) The cities in Tokyo Metropolitan Region and Nagoya Metropolitan Region have specialized in assembly industries in accordance with the restructuring of manufac-turing, while the cities in Keihanshin Metropolitan Region and Setouchi Region have been dominated by process industries such as shipbuilding and chemical industry. The decline of manufacturing activity in the latter region has been caused by those industrial characteristics. (3) In southern Tohoku Region, the index of manufacturing specialization has tended to go upward from 1972 to 1986 due to the increasing manufacturing employment of electrical machinery. In northern Kanto Region, the number of manufacturing employment has increased, but the index of manufacturing specialization has not gone upward as southern Tohoku Region. These are caused mainly by the macroeconomy restructuring such as growing service industries in nothern Kanto Region. Some scholors said that manufacturing activity had decentralized after the second oil crisis, but this paper revealed that this activity had concentrated at eastern Japan, especially in Tokyo Metropolitan Region.

    The purpose of this study is to clarify the process of the formation of industrial clusters of ICT industries in emerging economies in Asia, where economic growth has been remarkable in recent years, and the structural changes that are occurring in recent years. The results are as follows. The rapid growth of the Indian economy since the 2000s is greatly contributed by the growth of the ICT industry. The comparative advantage of India in terms of labor costs also confirms its position as an export-oriented industry. The amount of IT service exports does not reflect the scale of the ICT industry cluster, but rather is based on the growth potential of the IT service industry in each industrial cluster. The growth of export-oriented IT service industry is promoting the development of each industrial cluster.

    It aimed to clarify the regional fact in the industrial agglomeration formed along with the development of IT service industry in emerging countries where economic growth was remarkable in recent years. As a result, it became clear about the following points. That is, the IT service industry of India, one of the emerging countries, has been developed by the offshore method in the background of export. Such the offshore method contributes to the rise of new IT service, and leads to the development of a new field of export of the relation service that uses IT. The IT service industry of India is strengthening the character as the export oriented industry more than before though there is a difference in the destination for export. It was existence of excellent, abundant human resources that supported the rapid growth of such IT service industry.

    インドにおけるソフトウェア産業集積の構造や集積のメカニズムの実態を明らかにするにあたり、インド国において入手した「Indian IT Software and Services Directory」ならびに現地機関のNASSCOMおよびESCにおいて得られた資料を中心に分析を行った。とくに「Indian IT Software and Services Directory」は各産業集積地域における企業集積の構造とその形成過程について把握するための基礎となる資料であり、各企業の従業員規模や資本関係、企業進出の過程などのデータが充実している。資料分析の結果、北川(2004)において論じたように、インド国内においては主として6カ所のソフトウェア産業集積地域が形成されることが明らかとなった。また、こうしたインド国内の各ソフトウェア産業集積地間には近年、その集積の過程において成長速度に相違がみられるようになり、各産業集積地間のソフトウェア産業の集積格差が以前よりも広がっていることも判明した。さらに、こうした成長速度の差異の要因を明らかにするために、個別企業において聞き取り調査を行った結果、そうした成長速度の差異の要因は各集積地における労働市場の規模と人的資源の育成方法に加え、各地域のローカルな環境に求められることが明らかとなった。その一方で、こうした成長の差異は、新たに勃興しつつあるサービス、すなわちBPO/ITESと称されるアウトソーシングサービスの成長にも大きく左右されていることも判明した。
    こうしたインドにおけるソフトウェア産業をめぐる環境変化、すなわち、成長の中心がこれまでのソフトウェア産業からBPOへと移行しつつある現状に注目する必要があり、今後、そうした動向をふまえてインドにおけるソフトウェア産業、IT産業の成長とそれにともなう地域変化について明らかにする必要がある。

    近年,インドや中国におけるソフトウェア産業の成長とともに外国企業は生産の拠点をこれらの国々に配置する傾向にある.そうした状況下において,わが国のソフトウェア産業においても海外での生産活動を行う企業が現れており,これらの企業の海外進出動向を解明することは当該産業の地域的展開を考察する上できわめて重要な点であると考えられる.こうしたことから,申請者はわが国のソフトウェア産業における海外進出の実態を解明しようと試みた.しかしながら,近年,インドへのソフトウェア産業集積が著しいことから,特に当該国におけるソフトウェア産業の集積の実態を解明するとともに,わが国のソフトウェア関連企業のインドへの海外進出の状況とその地域的な展開の実態ならびにその過程を明らかにすることの必要性を認識した.
    以上のことから,今年度はインドにおけるソフトウェア産業の地域的な発展過程とその集積の実態について,主として「Indian Software Directory」を用いて分析を行った.これにより,以下の点が明らかとなった.
    1.インドのソフトウェア産業の分布に関して,6つの主要な産業集積地が存在し,それぞれの集積地においては既存の集積地と新興の補助的な集積地が融合した構造を示す場合が多い.
    2.こうした新興集積地におけるソフトウェア企業の多くは生産に特化した企業が多い.
    3.輸出状況に関して,北インドに比べ南インドに立地する企業に輸出比率の高い企業が多く,オフショア生産形態の元で操業し製造品を投資元の本国に貫流している.
    今後の課題として,各産業集積地内部の詳細な構造および連関について検討する必要がある.その一方で,当該地域が外資系企業の単なる作業場として従属的な役割を担うに過ぎないのかなどといった中心・周辺論的な文脈における詳細な研究が必要であると考える.

    本研究の目的はわが国電気機械工業の複数立地企業を中心に、地域的生産体系の再編とそれにともなう地域変容を考察することであった。この研究目的を達成するために、第1段階としてわが国電気機械工業分野の中から複数の複数立地企業に関して各会社史、有価証券報告書などを活用することにより企業組織、生産体系の時系列的変化について分析を行った。当初、生産体系の再編過程を既存の工場などの再編成により捉える予定であった。そのため、各複数立地企業に対して聞き取り調査を行う予定であったが、近年のわが国の経済状況の悪化のため、聞き取り調査に応じていただけない企業も少なくなく、補助資料を中心として研究を進めた。このようにデータの収集に問題が生じたため、研究目的を一部変更する事を余儀なくされ、地域的生産体系の再編成を捉える前に、各複数立地企業の地域評価に研究の比重を置いた。そのため、研究の第2段階においては、各複数立地企業の本社に対し地域評価に関するアンケート調査を行い、既存の所有施設と地域の評価との関連を中心に一次データを入手した。これらのデータを分析する事により、わが国電気機械工業の複数立地企業の多くは、既存の施設の有無により地域評価を行う傾向を捉えることができた。また、地域的にみて三大都市圏の評価はいまだ高く、地方分散化を念頭に置いた生産体系の再編は困難な状況であることの推察を得た。これらの知見をもとに今後、当初の研究目的である複数立地企業の生産体系の再編と地域変容に関する研究を、研究方法を再検討した上で、遂行したいと考える。

    The purpose of this study is to make the formation and the internal structure of the town clearly focus on the town in modern Micronesia,south sea islands that Japan governed for over 30 years since 1914.
    We clarified the regional formation of Micronesia from the viewpoint of the formation and development of the central places by analyzing the location of two types of modern facilities such as public facilities and corporate headquarters. Since Micronesia was islands type colony, formation and development in central places were recognized as insularity.
    In this study, We drew up a reconstruction map of the town in Micronesia on the basis of air photos taken by the US Forces. Based on this, I considered the internal structure of the town. Garapan in Saipan had specialized functions by towns, for example, public agencies around Saipan branch office, shopping area in North Garapan 2-chome Street, ryotei district at the edge of town and died bonito factory was clustered along the seashore.

    From the interview and questionnaire surveys concerning the research subject, it was clarified that the following conditions are the keys to fill the structural gaps in rural society
    (1) promotion and acceptance of the diversification of the local community members;
    2) maintenance of regular occupations; and
    (3) people’s sense of pride in the local town, which encourages their settlement. Depopulation and aging do not directly result in the decline of a local community. When a robust occupational infrastructure, such as agriculture, forestry or fishery, is combined with the openheartedness of village society, such society is able to provide its residents with a sense of happiness and allow people with diverse backgrounds to settle in the local community

    We carried out hearing investigations and questionnaire surveys concerning our research project. What we found is as follows : (1) Although general publicness is intended by local policy, there is inequality of life between communities because of whether or not there exist local resources. (2) We paid attention to life and attitude of women and elderly people. Then we found possibility of social solidarity to overcome a marginal situation. We need to clarify conditions in which orientation of life of inhabitants has a possibility to reduce a structural inequality in the future.
