Evaluation of Living Infrastructure in Sparsely Popurated Areas - Business Administrability Analysis -

利用商业管理分析技术对人口稀少地区生活基础设施的评价进行了研究。研究区域为岛根县喜见町和鸟取县若坂町。本研究由两部分组成。在第1部分中，进行了盈亏平衡点分析，以指定生命支持设施的客户（用户）的最小数量（级别）。以人口稀少地区的旅游度假区开发为重点，进行了风险分析，以评估小型住宿设施的商业管理能力。基本上有两种模型。一种是从短期经营的角度考察公寓的收支平衡点人数的模型。另一个模型明确考察了小型住宿设施经营性利润流的高不确定性。本文提出的模型在研究地区的应用表明，它是一种有效的政策分析工具，可以检验人口稀少地区发展的可行性。

Evaluation of living infrastructures in sparsely populated areas has been studied by use of techniques for business administrability analysis. The study areas are Hikimi-cho in Shimane Prefecture and Wakasa-cho in Tottori Prefecture.The study consists of two parts. In part 1 break-even-point analysis has been performed to specify the minimum number (level) of customers (users) for life-support facilities.With a focus on tourist resort development in the sparsely populated areas, risk analyses have been performed to assess business administrability of smallscale lodging facilities. There are basically two types of models. One is a model which examines break-even point number of lodgers of lodging houses from a viewpoint of short-term management. The other is a model which explicitly examines high uncertainty in the profit stream of business administrability of small-sized lodging facilities.Application of the proposed models to the study areas have shown that they serve as an effective tool policy analysis to examine feasibility of sparsely populated area development.
