Abstract

This study aims to elucidate the effects that staying home due to COVID-19 has had on households with primary school-age children living in the central area. To determine the differences in states of mind between people in the central area and people in other areas, we investigated the changes in their “daily lives” including matters related to school; playing outside; associating with other children; “communication” including communication with family and friends; and the “use of information technologies” that secure communication. Moreover, we explored households that are satisfied even when they are unable to go out and clarified how children and their parents who live in the central area perceive the current situation. The study results indicate that the risks of COVID-19 in large cities have spatial characteristics and increase the burden on households raising children. Particularly in the central area, which has a high population density, the changes children experience are striking. Furthermore, due to the inadequate amount of open space, a strong awareness of the “new normal (avoiding the ‘Three Cs’ (closed spaces, crowded places, and close-contact settings)” is required.

14. National borders transcended: the impact of geographical proximity on the growth of global innovation networks among cities in East Asia

Abstract

ABSTRACTRecently, the concept of the global innovation network (GIN) has been emphasized in view of increasing joint international research within regional economies as enabled by drastic changes in technology. However, insights gained from quantitative analysis of GINs are lacking. This study empirically investigated the GINs among major cities in East Asia by using data on patented co-inventions. This included an analysis of the factors that influence networks in the formation of international research collaborations in East Asia, and its interplay with geographical proximity. The results of the analysis suggest that there is a system of mesoscale international networks such as those in East Asia between GINs and national innovation systems. Our findings suggest that future policy should be more supportive of international innovation networks, especially in East Asia.HighlightsThis study traces the evolution of global innovation networks among major East Asian cities over time.China, South Korea, and Taiwan are increasing their share in the network.Geographical proximity has the greatest influence on global innovation network.Networks formed by transnational geographic proximity are found between major cities.
