Research Abstract

In this study, the representative (Tsutsumi) worked on building databases consisting of regional statistics and statistics on the municipal mergers of depopulated regions. As a result of an analysis of socio-economic changes concerning to these regions, the past situation that we could easily recognize the difference between patterns in the East Japan and the West Japan, has been changing into that there are not so clear differences between them, but the situation in Shikoku district has become severer. And also it became clear that there are serious conditions of small mountainous regions after the merger, and that we must take care of treatment of small area statistics.
