行政区域の広域化と地方自治の問題-独立町村を中心に1978年度秋季学術大会シンポジウム

抄録

Most of Japanese municipalities, which were incorporated first in 1899, have experienced annexation or consolidation. However, there are municipalities which have not been annexed by adjacent large municipalities. This symposium was intended to focus on the problems of such non-annexed small corporate units. In order to handle the problems, we must pay attention not only to their geographical location, but also totheir administrative, financial and historical background.
This symposium was carried on by two chairmen, four commentators, and ten speakers. Chariman: Osamu NISHIKAWA (Univ. of Tokyo) and Yoshio WATANABE (Tokyo Metropolitan Univ.), Commentators: Shoichi YOKOYAMA (Univ. of Ehime), Hideo TSUKADA (Univ. of Nara), Yasuo MASAI (Univ. of Tsukuba), and Naoki YOSHIZU (Univ. of Nagoya).
