该研究旨在阐明新冠疫情引发的城市人口外流对因人口老龄化导致人口减少的大阪大都市区萎缩城市的影响。通过分析大阪都市圈，我们可以清楚地了解城市是如何因人口外流而萎缩的。本研究分析了条例设计/区域中心城市、普通城市和乡镇三类直辖市的月度人口数据。综上所述，该研究澄清了2020年夏季至秋季期间，由城市人口外流引起的人口变化发生在条例设计的/区域中心和普通城市。人口增长最显著的地方是距离大阪市中心30多公里的大阪市边缘地区。这个结论很重要，因为人口不仅在条例设计的城市中增加，而且在条例设计的/区域中心城市中也增加，这与首都地区的其他地区不同。这一结果是本次研究阐明的大阪都市圈独有的新见解。城市人口的外流使得萎缩城市的地方政府需要维持人们日常生活所必需的城市服务。
This study aims to clarify the impact of the urban exodus triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic on shrinking cities in the Osaka metropolitan area, where a declining population is caused by population aging. Analyzing the Osaka metropolitan area enables us to clarify how cities are shrinking due to the urban exodus. This study analyzed the monthly population data of three types of municipalities: ordinance-designed/regional hub cities, ordinary cities, and towns/villages. In conclusion, the study clarified that population change due to the urban exodus occurred in the ordinance-designed/regional hub and ordinary cities from summer to autumn 2020. The most significant population increases occurred in the municipalities in the Osaka metropolitan fringe area, which are located more than 30 km away from the center of the Osaka metropolitan area. The conclusion is important because the population increased not only in the ordinance-designed cities but also in the ordinance-designed/regional hub cities, unlike the rest of the metropolitan area. The result is the new insights unique to the Osaka metropolitan area that this study clarified. The urban exodus contributes to the need for the local governments of shrinking cities to maintain the urban services necessary for people's daily lives.
