Research Abstract

The Japanese cities are classified into two categories :
(1)"Territorial" cities, which form the Japanese urban hierarchy, and
(2)"Functional" cities, which are characterized by functional specialization.
Among the Japanese cities with varying territorial status and functional specialization, three metropolitan agglomerations of Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya are the most highly-ranked "territorial" cities as. well as "functional" cities specialized in management functions.
The research on political behavior and local identity of the inhabitants in the metropolitan agglomerations based on statistical analyses and hearing has revealed that the inhabitants are classified into four types :
(1)"Traditional" type, who have been living and working within the same local government area for long, -time, and generally show high voting rates ;
(2)"Claimant" type, who-are characterized by commuting to other local government areas, low identity as local-residents, younger families, and higher voting rates only at national elections ;
(3)"Indifferent"'type, who are also characterized by commuting to other local government areas and low identity as local residents, but their voting rates are generally low ; and
(4)"Citizen" type, who also commute to other local government areas, but generally show higher local identity as well as higher voting rates both at national and local elections.
