项目摘要

This research has intended to explore the optimal size of municipalities from both theoretical and empirical viewpoints and also to induce the implication for municipal consolidation preparing for the decentralized society. In 2001 and 2002 fiscal years, we performed the following research results.In 2001 fiscal year :(I) We examined all mayors in Hyogo prefecture through a mailing survey, and asked their idea about the optimal size of a municipality and the incentive for municipal consolidation. With survey data, we also tried the probit model to investigate their attitudes to fiscal and economic conditions.(ii) We focused Sasayama city as a progressive example of consolidation and examined both the merit and demerit of this case, particularly checking up the financial effects.(iii) Focusing the municipalities which have not received revenue sharing grants, we compared the financial structure of those cities with the one of regular cities which depend on this grants. Looking after the … More structure of government expenditure, we tried to induce the implication for an optimal municipal size.In 2002 fiscal year :(I) We also focused Hikami county which is the next area of Sasayama city mentioned above and surveyed all public employee in this area to explore their attitudes for consolidation.(ii) We surveyed the previous papers with respect to an optimal municipal size in Japan. Appling those similar method to Hyogo prefecture, we analyzed the size of minimizing the cost of supplying public services in the aspects of population, area and density. We pointed out that the area size is another important factor to think about an optimal municipal size.(iii) We surveyed the previous papers which intended to investigate the rivalry (or the congestion or crowding effect) of public goods consumption. We expected this crowding parameter could give us valuable information about an optimal municipal size.(iv) In making use of the idea mentioned above, we constructed the empirical model for fire services to estimate the crowding parameter in Hyogo prefecture. We continued the rival situation of fire services and the area size is anther important factor. Less

本研究旨在从理论和实证两个角度探讨城市的最优规模，并归纳出对城市整合为分权社会做准备的启示。在2001财政年度和2002财政年度，我们进行了以下研究结果：(I)我们通过邮寄调查调查了兵库县的所有市长，询问他们关于市政的最佳规模和市政合并的动机的想法。利用调查数据，我们还尝试了Probit模型来调查他们对财政和经济状况的态度。(Ii)我们将佐山作为一个渐进的整合范例，考察了这种情况的优点和缺点，特别是检查了财政效果。(Iii)针对没有获得收入分享拨款的城市，我们比较了这些城市和依赖这种拨款的普通城市的财政结构。照看…在2002财政年度：(I)我们还调查了上述佐佐山市的下一个地区广上县，并对这一地区的所有公职人员进行了调查，以了解他们对合并的态度。(Ii)我们调查了以前关于日本最优市政规模的论文。将类似的方法应用于兵库县，从人口、面积和密度三个方面分析了公共服务供给成本最小化的规模。我们指出，面积大小是考虑最优城市规模的另一个重要因素。(Iii)我们对以往旨在研究公共物品消费的竞争(或拥挤或拥挤效应)的文献进行了综述。我们希望这个拥挤参数能够为我们提供关于最优城市规模的有价值的信息。(4)利用上述思想，我们构建了兵库县消防拥挤参数的经验模型。我们延续了消防部门的竞争局面，面积大小是另一个重要因素。较少
