The Study of Tourism Impact by Socioeconomic Nexus on Small Islands in Pacific Region for Possibility of Sustainable Development
Takahashi, Kantaro
2019.03
Single author
本研究は太平洋にある島嶼地域を対象に観光需要の分析を行い、島嶼地域における観光の持続可能性について考察した。分析では最初に観光需要の経済的な要因を推計するため、リゾート開発が進んでいる島と観光開発が遅れている島の比較を行った。分析の結果、物価要因の影響がリゾート島では有意となったが、観光開発が進んでいない島では有意とはならなかった。この結果を受け、観光開発を行うことは地域経済への貢献が期待できる一方で、観光優位の経済は世界情勢の影響を受けやすい経済構造となることが示唆された。次に、太平洋島嶼地域の社会経済構造の特徴である移民に注目し、観光需要の分析を行った。結果として、島嶼地域からの移民が多い国からの観光需要との関係が示された。この分析により、移民とのつながりを活用した観光形態であるVFR（親戚および友人への訪問目的の観光）が島嶼地域においても活用できることが示された。VFRの長所の一つにレクリエーション目的の観光より、安定した需要となりうるという点があり、VFRを活用することは島嶼地域の持続的な観光開発につながることを本論文の結論とした。

本研究は観光地として発展する前の沖縄における宿泊施設の価格について分析を行った。最初に主成分分析を行い宿泊施設の特徴を集約した。分析の結果、西洋風の宿泊施設と和風の宿泊施設に分類された。さらに主成分得点を用いて価格への影響について回帰分析を行った結果、西洋風の宿泊施設の影響が和風の施設と比べ高かった。また、立地傾向から都市部に西洋風の宿泊施設は集まっているため、初期の沖縄観光の発展は限定的であったことが実証された。

本研究は国内島嶼地域の航空網について分析を行った。まず、ネットワーク分析による中心性の測定を行い、小規模な島嶼地域においては石垣島や奄美大島といった隣接する大きな島の重要性が明らかとなった。また、ネットワークの中心性を目的変数とした回帰分析においては島嶼地域の観光需要だけではなく、地域内の経済規模や人口の特性といった社会経済的な要因も重要な変数ということが明らかとなった。これらの結果から、本研究は航空網を維持するには観光振興だけではなく、島内および隣接する地域の社会状況を見ることの重要性を示唆した。

Kantaro TAKAHASHI
Annals of the Akita Geographical Society ( The Akita Geographical Society ) 36 11 - 18 2023.05
Research paper (journal) Single author
This paper aims at discussing the seasonality and the trend of tourism demand in Akita prefectures with factor analysis. In Akita, each of municipalities promote tourism for regional development although attractions are different among them. Therefore, their seasonality has different patterns along with regional characteristics. By factor analysis, five seasonal patterns were found out. These patterns would be influenced by seasonal event in each of regions and nature environment owned by each. Moreover, this paper analyzed the change of tourism demand from 2014 to 2020. Although the numbers in 2020 were decreased in all regions, tourism demand had already been declining in some regions before Covid 19 spread. From this result, it is considered that accessibilities or location environments were affected to each of tourism demand. In conclusion, regional differences of tourism demand might be expanded among the cities.

Research paper (journal) Single author
This article aims to discuss the demand for inbound tourism and the visits to English language schools in Malta with the statistical model. This article composed a statistical model and applied the panel data analysis to estimate the determinants of both inbound tourism and the number of participants in language schools. The result shows that variables are significant for the model of the demand for English language schools. Meanwhile, the income variable was insignificant for the inbound tourism flow, which is different from the result of previous works. These results suggest that regional influencing characteristics, such as the historical and cultural background. Because of the regional characteristics as the tourist place in EU countries, the development of the service that combined studying abroad with sightseeing by the cooperation of a language school and the tourism industry with the educational element can become the important viewpoint in the tourism industry and the development of the education industry.

本研究では離島振興法の対象地域における観光需要についての分析モデルを構築した。分析の結果、交通状況や立地条件が観光需要に対して影響していることが明らかとなった。さらに島と隣接している地域による観光需要への差が示唆され、都市との結びつきが観光需要に影響していることが明らかとなった。この結果から島嶼地域の観光を考える際、島嶼地域内のことだけではなく、交通面などほかの地域との結びつきに着目することも重要な視点であることが明らかとなった。

Tourism resources and facilities written in the tourism statistics published by Akita prefecture were selected, and students answered the question whether they recognize them. The result showed that tourism resources and facilities in the middle part of Akita prefecture were well-known. Meanwhile, tourism resources and facilities located in boundary area to the next prefectures were little-known. Secondary, this paper used the factor analysis and text mining to figure out the image of the Akita city. In the outcome by factor analysis, four factors were observed such as “impression of the regions", “accessibilities and entertainments", “atmosphere of the regions" and “rich regional characteristics". Following this result, text mining was carried out and found that almost students felt comfortability to live in although they also feel dissatisfaction to accessibilities and entertainments.

Kantaro TAKAHASHI
Departmental Bulletin Paper of Akita University 77 39 - 44 2022.03
Research paper (university bulletin, research institution)
This paper aims at discussing the regional characteristics in Akita prefecture with applying text data mining for the guidebook of roadside stations in Japan. Roadside stations are known as the facilities for the drivers and travelers to stop and take a rest. In addition, they also provide the services and products reflected to the local characteristics. Therefore, this paper regards the guidebook written about roadside stations as the test data to show the regional characteristics and applies the text data mining. The result shows that words related to “Hinai Chicken" are remarkable to show the regional characteristics, in particular of Northern part of prefectures. Meanwhile, the result also may suggest that each of the stations carry out individual management not to be influenced to other stations located nearby areas.

the Study of the Tourist Diffusion in Islands -The Case Study of Izu Islands in the Island Boom
Kantaro TAKAHASHI
( University of Nagasaki ) 54 ( 4 ) 1 - 16 2021.03 [Invited]
Research paper (university bulletin, research institution) Single author
The purpose of this study is to discuss the pattern of tourist distribution along the travel boom in Izu Islands from the 1960s to the 1990s using spatial diffusion. We find that tourist diffusion is affected by the size of the island region rather than by the distance from the place of origin. Moreover, development of infrastructure, such as port facilities, emerges as the main factor for tourist diffusion. Consequently, we find that tourist diffusion in the island region is related to infrastructure development.
