They developed its self-governance under this condition, and were held in respect by feudal rulers. On the other hand, Thai villages didn’t play important roles in the pre-modern ruling system, though they existed as natural communities. However, this contrast in the pre-modern era changed, because Japanese modern local system excluded its villages and built up new local official units, Son and Cho, while traditional villages in Thailand became the most basic units of local domination, and got the status of ‘official representative’. Thailand decided to modernize the society on the basis of Thai villages, but modern Japan took the way of neglecting the pre-modern local basic units in prospect of constructing financially more stable local units. As is known well, Japanese society has modernized as a whole more than Thailand during a century. However, Japanese villages have suffered much more from their helplessness in their advanced society. Japanese society should give its villages the status of ‘official representative’ again in order to reconstruct local communities in which young generations can willingly and confidently live.}, pages = {113--127}, title = {近代化における日本村落・タイ村落 ―ひとつの比較村落社会史論―}, volume = {52}, year = {2005} }
