Abstract

Japan's declining population, falling birthrates, and rapid aging of society are long-term and rapid. This has made it difficult for some regions to even sustain themselves. Under these situations, the increase and decrease in the number of people in a region and the interactions that bring them to the region have a significant socioeconomic impact on each region. Therefore, it is necessary to elucidate the mechanisms of movement, such as tourism and migration. This study focuses on tourism interaction and population migration, and aims to clarify the relationship between attitudes and motivations related to movement. Specifically, the following contents will be analyzed. Regarding attitudes toward tourism and motivations for population movement, a questionnaire will be used to analyze the importance of each item in terms of tourism interaction and migration, as well as the importance of each item in the selection of tourist destinations. In addition to the previous analysis of attitudes toward tourism, a covariance structure analysis will be conducted to clarify the relationship between each factor and the factors. A cluster analysis will be conducted on the relationship between awareness of tourism and motivations for migration targeting each of the factors. This will elucidate the relationship based on the results of how they are categorized.The results show that there is a high degree of commonality between the two movement ideas of tourist interaction and migration, including a preference for stability and a preference for activity. It is quantitatively revealed that people are willing to make moves such as tourism and migration according to each person's preferences. It is quantitatively revealed that people are willing to make moves such as tourism and migration according to their individual preferences.
