Abstract
In resent years, the Large-Scale Industrial Development Plannings were planned out for the national economic development. For the realization of these plannings, it would be necessary to measure the impact arising from the industrial development.In particular, we must measure the fundamental data, the regional employment opportunities by the detailed sectors and the residential environment arising from the industrial development.In this paper, we have investigated a method for measuring the regional employment opportunities generated by new entry of factories. By using this method, we can estimate how much the employment opportunities are repercussively generated in Hokkaido region by the Tomakomai-Tobu Industrial Development. Furthermore, we try to investigate the residential environments of Tomakomai City and Sapporo City by using the urban econometrics model based on the impact of the industrial development.The main results are as follows.(1) The sum of the employment opportunities in the rest of other than the Hokkaido region is equal to that of the Hokkaido region. A remarkable feature is the increase of the regional employment opportunities in Kanto region which advanced industrially by the impact of Tomakomai-Tobu Industrial Development.(2) The regional employment opportunities of the secondary industries in Hokkaido region is 26% of the total. This result influences favorably the manufacturing sector due to the relative lower level compared to the national level. The regional employment opportunities of the tertiary industry is 62% of the total. The main cause for this the indirect impact of the newly located industries.(3) The impact on the regional employment opportunities in Sapporo City, the capital of Hokkaido region, is larger than on Tomakomai City with the industrial estate. The main causes for this are the advanced metropolis functions of Sapporo City and the indirect impact generated by newly located industries.(4) From analyisis of the residential environments in Tomakomai City and Sapporo City using the urban econometrics model, it seems to be clear that Sapporo City suffers much more than Tomakomai City from the evil impact of overpopulation brought about by the repercussive increase of employment opportunities.
