Neighboring relations - Kinrinkankei (English spelling)

Japanese: 近隣関係 - きんりんかんけい（英語表記）neighbouring relation

Everyday social relationships that are formed as a result of living in close proximity. Synonymous with neighborhood relationships. Neighborhood relationships in rural areas are close and their geographical boundaries are relatively clear. In cities, neighborhood relationships are weaker due to the intensity of social mobility, the development of secondary groups, and the social heterogeneity of local residents, but in some areas, uncertain and linked relationships are characteristic, and research is often conducted to capture the frequency and content of neighborhood interactions.

居住の近接を契機に結ばれる日常的社会関係。いわゆる近所づきあいと同義。農村での近隣関係は密接でその地域的範域は比較的明確である。都市では社会的移動の激しさ，第2次集団の発達，地域住民の社会的異質性のゆえに近隣関係は弱いが，地域的には不確定で連鎖的な関係が特徴的にみられ，近隣交際の頻度や内容をとらえる研究がよく行われる。
