Outline of Final Research Achievements

In Tyrol, Austria, one of peripheral areas in Europe, not only seasonal long-stay visitors but also immigrants from foreign nations tends to increase recently. Their activities have been diversified, and the territories of their activities have been enlarged. The increase of visitors has promoted the concentration of commercial and service functions to small centers in Tyrol, and the diversification of activities have been based on the functional diversification of small centers. With those changes in small centers, the landscape of small centers have been gentrified and also standardized.
