The purpose of this study is to find out relationship between abandonment of cultivation and urbanization level.
First, distribution of municipalities that the rate of abandoned agricultural field is high move from neighborhood of central of Tokyo to outer subarbs.
Secondly, the timing to abandon cultivation is earlier to convert farmland to non-farm uses. And the timing to abandon cultivation is latter to increase population.
So abandonment of cultivation is one of the step to convert farmland to non-farm uses.
