Abstract
In this study, an attempt was made to quantitatively understand the spatio-temporal situation with respect to the prosperity of educational and cultural facilities in municipalities nationwide. For this, Japanese telephone directory data, taken from the digital archive containing geospatial information (address and industry) of all the facilities/institutions in a given area, were used to analyze the time series changes and obtain the latest industrial trends. Multiple patterns were observed in the growth and decline of educational, cultural, and business fields, and a detailed understanding of the regional characteristics that lead to future trends, the growth of cities, and future tourism strategies in times of disaster, was achieved.
