18 The Diverse Meanings of CCTVs as Expressed by Local Residents A Case Study of an Urban Community in the Kansai Region Yoshitaka ASADA Research Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science Graduate School of Letters Kyoto University asada@socio.kyoto-u.ac.jp This paper aims to clarify the decision process of installing CCTVs (Closed Circuit Televisions). To approach this question, I conducted fieldwork in a community located in an urban area in the Kansai region. The data collected can be divided into three periods as follows: 1) an offer by the police to install CCTVs, 2) debates regarding the installation of CCTVs as part of an urban development project, and 3) the period following the decision to install CCTVs. In the first period, the police were responsible for the focus on the use of CCTVs in the community. The police informed the jichikai (community association) about the ideas related to the broken windows theory in crime prevention, and after that offered to install CCTVs. Their offer resulted in debates over the pros and cons of CCTVs. Ultimately, because of the fear of CCTVs controlled by the police and the difficulty of achieving a concensus among the residents, the offer was denied. In the second period, plans for installing CCTVs were brought back as part of an urban development project to renovate the community. The meetings to discuss this project were usually attended by a number of local residents, researchers specializing in urban engineering, the representatives of unions related to drinking and commercial establishments, and the representatives of an association affiliated with the local government. Because the project s principal members wanted to create a concrete plan for the community, they made an effort to listen to the ideas of the residents, after which they showed their support for those residents who believed that CCTVs should be installed. In the third period, the above process was questioned by some residents who wondered whether CCTVs were really necessary for their town and for the urban development project. These residents pointed out the need for better planning to attend to the real needs of local residents, and reinterpreted CCTVs in keeping with this perspective. Based on the data above, I argue that most studies about surveillance tend to focus on a successful installation process, and conceal the diversity of meanings including those meanings stemming from a reinterpration by local residents. Therefore, these meanings should be taken into account if we are to rethink surveillance studies and create a critical perspective in the future. 174
