Investigating regional disparities and their determinants in Japan’s local integration policy
Although Japan’s social integration policies are virtually non-existent, many local governments implement integration measures under the label of “multicultural coexistence” policies. However, current research on integration policy focuses on municipalities with exemplary practices, leaving regional disparities across the country largely unexplored. This paper aims to clarify regional disparities in multicultural coexistence policies implemented …
Can heterolocalism explain the residential patterns of small populations of foreigners in Japan? The cases of Afghans, Laotians, Bolivians and Turks
This paper examines whether the residential patterns of small nationality‐based ethnic groups in Japan, such as Afghans, Laotians, Bolivians and Turks, can be successfully explained by the model of heterolocalism, which is well‐known for comprehensively explaining the patterns of new immigrants. This verification work is conducted based on census microdata, mapping and interviews with the foreigners. The model is characterized by five proposition…

Covid‐19 and migration
Data on interprefectural migration in Japan are used to discover if the pandemic coincides with any significant shifts in the levels of migration and/or the patterns of movement
Exploring the impact of depopulation on a country's population geography
The total population of Japan reached its peak in 2008 and has since experienced population decline. This trend has had a profound effect on many of the country's spheres of activity. The purpose of this article is to comprehensively review the existing literature, mainly published since the peak year, through the perspective of the impact of Japan's depopulation on its population geography and to present future research issues based on the obtai…
Have Destination Choices of Foreign Residents Contributed to Reducing Regional Population Disparity in Japan? Analysis Based on the 2010 Population Census Microdata
In relation to the beginning of Japan's total population decline, the problem of regional disparity has been attracting a great deal of attention in the country. Have the destination choices of foreign residents in recent years contributed to reducing such disparity? The purpose of this study is to analyse the destination choices of new immigrants and foreign residents moving within Japan in the period 2005–2010, using microdata from the 2010 Pop…

The 1995–2000 interprefectural migration of foreign residents of Japan
Taking advantage of large samples from the 2000 census, this paper attempts (1) to identify the salient features of the 1995–2000 interprefectural migration of foreign residents in Japan; and (2) to carry out a multivariate explanation of this migration process by using a nested logit model which consists of a departure submodel at the upper level and a destination choice submodel at the lower level. Our main findings are as follows. Firstly, the…
Destination Choice of the 1995–2000 Immigrants to Japan
The purpose of this paper is to identify the salient features of the destination choices made by new immigrants who entered Japan in the 1995–2000 period, and to provide a multivariate explanation for their choice behaviors. The salient features can be summarized as follows; first, destination-choice patterns differed markedly by ethnicity; second, the higher the educational qualification of the immigrants, the greater the attraction of the Tokyo…
A comparison of migration behaviour in Japan and Britain using spatial interaction models
Several recent papers have compared the measurement of migration in different countries, and some have compared migration patterns to the extent that these can be compared cross‐nationally. In this paper we measure and comment on differences in the behaviour of migrants in two systems, Japan and Britain. In both countries the focus of attention is on interregional migration. Migration behaviour is measured in terms of elasticities of migration re…
Investigating the effects of employment‐housing change on migration
The effect of employment growth on internal migration depends on corresponding adjustments of the local housing market. If employment growth in a geographical area is accompanied by a sharp increase in housing prices, the net outcome may be net out‐migration rather than migration gain. In the present paper, this concept is tested using statistical data available for 47 prefectures in Japan. The analysis covers the two five‐year periods of 1983–87…
Hierarchical Destination Choice and Spatial Interaction Modelling
A simulation experiment is proposed and undertaken to extend our understanding of the role of the competing destinations spatial interaction model in capturing the effects of hierarchical destination choice. In doing so, we make explicit the linkage between spatial choice behaviour at different levels of a spatial hierarchy. We also make explicit the way in which decisions made at one level of the hierarchy can lead to biased measurements of beha…

Contribution of the demographic factor to the migration turnarounds in Japan, Sweden and Canada
It is well known that similar changes of migration pattern occurred during recent decades in most developed countries; core regions recorded a greatly decreased net in-migration in the 1970s, but increased net in-migration in the 1980s. Based on shift-share analysis of the migration data of Japan, Sweden and Canada, this paper reveals that changing cohort size, especially related to the fertility fluctuation of baby boom and bust, has played an i…
Explaining the Recent Migration Trends of the Tokyo Metropolitan Area
The year 1994 was a very significant year for the Japanese urban system. In that year the Tokyo metropolitan area (TMA), which had enjoyed a net inflow of interregional migrants since the 1950s, recorded a net outflow for the first time. What factors gave rise to such a remarkable migration change for the area? The results from a set of time-series analyses lead the authors to conclude that, as far as the study period (1979-92) as a whole is conc…

An Empirical Study of the Competing Destinations Model Using Japanese Interaction Data
The misspecification issue, that the estimated distance parameter in spatial-interaction models might be biased by the spatial structure under investigation, has remained unsettled. However, the competing destinations model recently developed by Fotheringham is the first ray of hope for a solution. In this paper, the empirical validity of Fotheringham's model is examined using data of migration and of university enrollment among Japanese prefectu…
