项目摘要

This research project for the period of 2003-2005 academic years has attained a number of notable results. They will be published in a detailed way in the forthcoming book, but a part of major finding can be mentioned as follows.As a consequence of population aging due to fertility decline since the mid-1970s, the total population of Japan began to decrease in 2005. Its influence is considered to produce important influences on various affairs, but, from geographical point-of-view, the followings are noteworthy. Regarding family/household, trend towards nuclear family has been remarkable until the mid-1970s, but the recent movement is summarized as a diversification of family/household. Its spatial pattern is so complicated that we cannot describe it simply like distinction between the three largest metropolitan areas and the non-metropolitan (peripheral) areas. In addition, impact of declining fertility during the past decades on migration (particularly, long-distance migration) has a … More ppeared in the forms of decline of migration rate and spatial shrink of migration areas. Return migration (or, the so-called "U-turn migration) of young adults to peripheral areas has not shown a favorable progress, suggesting a difficulty in having an expectation that the return migration will contribute to solution of various issues therein in the age of depopulation. In addition, it is interesting to note, however, that massive retirement of the baby boomers is drawing nearer and a part of them may return to their homeland situated in the peripheral areas. It deserves s great attention from the perspective of population geography. Furthermore, with regard to immigrants from abroad who are expected to play an important role of compensating for decrease of majority population, a careful analysis focused on their migration pattern reveals that they tend to have a strong orientation to destinations with competitive industrial sectors and accumulation of co-ethics and international marriage also has a certain importance.

该研究项目2003-2005学年的研究项目已获得了许多值得注意的结果。它们将以详细的方式在即将出版的书中以详细的方式出版，但主要发现的一部分可以如下提及，这是由于自1970年代中期以来的生育能力下降而导致的人口衰老的结果，日本的总人口在2005年开始下降。其影响力被认为是对各种事务产生重要影响的影响，但是，从地理观察点产生了重要的影响。关于家庭/家庭，直到1970年代中期，核心家庭的趋势一直都很出色，但最近的运动总结为家庭/家庭的多元化。它的空间模式是如此复杂，以至于我们不能简单地描述它，就像在三个最大的大都市地区和非大都市（外围）区域之间的区别一样。此外，过去几十年中生育能力下降对迁移的影响（部分，长距离迁移）的影响是……移民率下降和迁移区域的空间缩水形式的出现。返回迁移（或所谓的年轻人的“掉头迁移）到外围地区没有表现出良好的进步，这表明很难期望返回迁移将有助于解决沉积时代的各种问题。此外，有趣的是，有趣的是，值得注意的是，值得注意的是，值得注意的是，要注意的是，在附近的婴儿返回的地区可能会在他们的范围内绘制自己的一部分，而他们又可能会在一个范围内绘制自己的一部分。从人口地理位置的角度来看，人们对来自国外的移民的重大关注，他们有望弥补多数人口的仔细分析，这是他们倾向于迁移模式的仔细分析
