Description :
The information gap among regions is widening, along with the decrease in the relative importance of local cities due to the concentration of information in the Tokyo Metropolitan area. This transformation into an intensely information-oriented society is stimulated not only by private but also by governmental initiatives. Studies by geographers lag far behind the modes of research pursued by scholars in the other fields. - (SGA)
