This paper makes clear the characteristics of industrial population of small cities in a provincial area (SCP) which are classified to the merged city and existing city. Conclusions are as follows. (1) A percentage of the industrial population to the population (PIP) in the merged city is 2 % higher than that of the existing city. But PIP of both types of SCP has been changing in a allmost same way. (2) In 1960, the existing city was industrialized than the merged city. However both types of SCP have been industrialized, and there is not so much difference between them. (3) By analyzing SCP utilizing Hayashi's Third Method of Quantification, SCP are characterized by two facters, namely the industrialisation accompanied by the concentration of population and the tendency to the secondary or third industry. (4) The industrialization of SCP is regulated by a form of organization of SCP, namely whether SCP is the merged city or the existing city, and numbers of old administrial areas (kyusons) of which SCP is consist. (5) Hitherto the population is a only notion to examin SCP. In a plan of SCP we must pay attention to the form of organization and the numbers of kyusons which regulate the characteristics of industrial population of SCP.
