Outline of Final Research Achievements

Measures based on efficiency are being considered for various social problems faced by local governments, such as population reduction, construction of a safe and secure society, sound local government management, maintenance of industry, and environmental problems. In this research, we comprehensively examined and evaluated the effect of efficiency improvement measures such as urban centralization in local governments. As a result, until the real problem of local government was realized, it was found that the magnitude of the problem was not properly recognized and the consciousness to appropriate measures was low. Also, since the point of view of many people looking ahead is missing, the actual situation that we think that we should deal with it after faced difficulties became clear.
