Our concern is with the life-history of local cities, particularly with the relation between their growth (or decline) and rise (or fall) of social classes in them. We selected the city of Otaru, and the following are the finding from our research.(1) The growth of a local city is often closely related with the national target. The growth and decline of the city of Otaru had a direct connection with the policy of Meiji Government for the northern territories including Karafuto, or Sakhalin.(2) The rise of Otaru created new social classes, many business owners and laborers, and its later decline forced them to move to other classes and status.(3) Today, the city of Otaru is known as a typical tourist city, but its economic situation is severe amid withering depression of Japan as a whole. Under these circumstances, people living in Otaru are broadly divisible into two social strata; the stable and unstable.(4) We also found two groups among the citizens of Otaru ; status seeker, who are ambitious to climb the social ladder, and status keeper who intend to keep a tight hold of their present status.(5) The credibility rating that the citizens of Otaru give to the mayor and the city council is very low. The finding from our research suggest that it is urgently required for the city of Otaru to build a political consensus among the citizens.

我们关注的是当地城市的生活史，特别是它们的增长（或衰退）与其中社会阶层的上升（或下降）之间的关系。我们选择了小樽市，以下是我们的研究结果：（1）地方城市的发展往往与国家目标密切相关。小樽市的兴衰与明治政府对包括库页岛在内的北方地区的政策有直接关系。（2）小樽的崛起创造了新的社会阶层，出现了许多企业主和劳工，以及后来的小樽市。 (3) 如今，小樽市被誉为典型的旅游城市，但在日本整体经济萧条的背景下，小樽市的经济形势却十分严峻。在这种情况下，生活在小樽的人们大致分为两个社会阶层： (4)我们在小樽市民中也发现了两个群体：野心勃勃地攀登社会阶梯的地位寻求者和打算牢牢保持现有地位的地位保持者。（5）小樽市民对市长和市议会的信任度很低。我们的研究结果表明，小樽市迫切需要在市民中建立政治共识。
