Journal Title: Prace Geograficzne - Year 2003, Vol 2003, Issue 112
Abstract
This study is aimed at determining the effect of the process of urbanization on the spatial distribution of the population of Japan over the past 97 years. The analysis refers to the process of population concentration in general and the process of concentration of urban populations by prefectures. An increase in the number of local populations was connected with the process of their redistribution and their progressive concentration which allows to determine the five main stages of urbanization expressed by the change of concentration indexes.
