Abstract
This research was conducted to categorize municipalities according to CO2 emission characteristics and clarify their relationship with regional characteristics. As a result, the CO2 emission amount per capita in 2007, in urban municipalities that have the characteristics of higher population density and larger population size, the emission amount in the business sector was larger, and however, in the household sector, the transportation sector and the total of all sectors, it tended to be smaller. And, while it tended to be larger in the household sector and transportation sectors in cold regions, no significant trend was observed in the manufacturing sector.
