Abstract

<p>　This paper pertains to the symposium ‘Media culture of Niigata Prefecture:</p><p>The crisis and potential of local contents’ held at the Japan Society for Studies</p><p>in Journalism and Mass Communication conference in the spring of 2017. Here,</p><p>the population problem of the region was quantitatively analysed, as it is</p><p>regarded as a crisis that affects numerous fields, such as politics, the economy,</p><p>daily living and culture. This was achieved by referring to specific discussions</p><p>that other academics have developed on the topic of Niigata’s media and</p><p>regional culture.</p><p>　　Firstly, in order to investigate the actual situation of the progressive aging</p><p>and decreasing population in the region, an age structure index—more specifically,</p><p>the relationship between the total population and the dependent population（</p><p>non-working-age） population, and the relationship between the child population</p><p>index and the aging population index, which are both subdivisions of the</p><p>dependent population—was analysed.</p><p>　　Secondly, to examine the relationships among each region located in rural</p><p>and central areas of the metropolitan, the correlation between the outflow and</p><p>the inflow population was explored, as it is assumed to be plainly reflecting various</p><p>maldistributions of capital, including cultural capital.</p>
