Abstract

A situation of people's lives in rural areas is discussed through analyses of a population distribution and a questionnaire survey for the residents about impressions of their lives. A population distribution is investigated by overlaying GIS data including land use, terrains, distance from the city centers and climatic data, and it was led that there is a clear tendency that the population of rural areas is under influences of terrains, distances from urban areas and climatic situations. It is also made clear by the questionnaire survey that the impression of residents about life in the rural area is affected by two factors, the population of a community and the ratio of aged people, and that each exerted a different type influence on evaluations of the impression about their lives. It is probably because that both influence vigor of the community and potential powers for mutual aids. In this case the population is clarified to be more influential than the ratio of aged people at least in case the ratio is less than 45%.
