Key Points

This research aims to explore the living patterns and community characteristics of Chinese newcomers in Osaka's Shinsaibashi area.
Qualitative interviews conducted with 22 Chinese newcomers working in Shinsaibashi
Analysis of ethnic business concentrations and social relationships
Examination of residential dispersion and community interaction
Shinsaibashi serves as a hub for Chinese ethnic businesses, yet inter-store and inter-ethnic connections are weak.
High property prices limit the 'living and working together' model, leading to dispersed residency.
Community ties are stronger among family members than among compatriots, with limited face-to-face interactions.

Qualitative analysis reveals ethnic community dynamics and residential dispersion among newcomers, suggesting unique integration patterns.
