As urban shrinking areas face increasing risks of social vulnerability, these conditions have become critical not only for addressing everyday concerns but also for supporting communities in responding to disaster situations. In Semboku New Town, Osaka, population decline, ageing, and weakened local structures have intensified concerns related to social isolation, lack of support, and disaster preparedness among residents. Using a case study of Chayamadai public housing in the Semboku area, this study conceptualizes social infrastructure as a system of facility-based and service-oriented support that may enable residents to reduce perceived vulnerability in both everyday and risk-related conditions. Drawing on survey data, the analysis examines how social infrastructure relates to residents’ perceived ability to manage daily challenges, including participation in community facilities, access to support, emergency response concerns, and disaster evacuation concerns. The findings suggest that social infrastructure may strengthen social connection, perceived security, and functional support, particularly among elderly residents. It operates as a localized social support system that shapes how residents experience and respond to both everyday and disaster-related vulnerabilities. The study highlights that sustaining urban shrinking area may depends on how social infrastructure is organized to support both everyday life and potential crisis situations. Strengthening social infrastructure may therefore play a critical role in enhancing daily well-being while also supporting communities in addressing disaster challenges.
