Panel Survey on Reorganization of Regional Structure at a Turning Point

为了弄清泡沫经济后城镇的变化，研究人员对名古屋市名古屋车站对面的龟岛地区、东京都三中市郊区的新川和中原地区以及大垣市城堡镇西市小学以下的老地区进行了抽样调查。1999财年，研究人员在现场采访了社区领导人，并从有关机构收集了统计数据，从而跟踪了每个地区的人口、产业、环境和社区等实际情况。特别是在名古屋和三中，人口减少、老年人口增多、生育减少、环境恶化等趋势比10年前更加突出，当时通过与领导的访谈和从机构收集的新旧研究数据进行了相互比较。同样在尾崎，也可以发现类似的趋势。在2000财年，对当地公民进行了一项问卷调查。答对率名古屋为67.3%，三鹿为80.6%，尾崎为83.9%，恢复率较高。作为这项研究的结果，许多居民对持续的经济衰退下城镇的变化非常感兴趣，特别是他们对“城镇衰落”的危机感与日俱增，包括婴儿数量下降、年轻人举止不好、继任者稀缺和商店关闭。与XO年前进行的问卷调查相比，XO在许多环境方面指出了更糟糕的状态。2001财年，使用过去2年收集的数据进行了案例分析和统计分析。

To clarify the changes in towns after the Bubble Economy, the entitled research was conducted sampling the unique towns ; Kamejima area facing the Nagoya station in Nagoya City, the Shinkawa and Nakahara area in suburban Mitaka City of metropolitan Tokyo and the older area below Nishi elementary school in castle town Ogaki City.In the fiscal 1999, the researchers interviewed community leaders at the sites and gathered statistical data from the institutions concerned, thereby following the actual situations of population, industries, environment, communities, etc. in each area. Particularly in Nagoya and Mitaka, tendencies of population decrease, more old people, fewer child births, worsening environment, etc. were more conspicuous than ten years ago when the new and old research data through interview with the leaders and collection from the institutions were compared with each other. Also in Ogaki, similar tendencies could be found.In the fiscal 2000, a questionnaire research was conducted targeting the local citizens. The ratio of answers was 67.3 % in Nagoya, 80.6 % in Mitaka and 83.9 % in Ogaki, marking rather high recovery ratios. As -a result of this research, many dwellers were highly interested in the changes of their towns under the lingering recession, and in particular, they had a growing sense of crisis in the "decline of town" including a fall in the number of babies, bad manner of young people, scarcity of successors and closing of shops. In comparison with the questionnaire research conducted XO years ago, worse states were pointed out in many environmental aspects.In the fiscal 2001, case analysis and statistical analysis were conducted using the data gathered in the past 2 years.
