Abstract
The two-way table, whose element eij represents the wholesale dependence ratio of each prefectures i to the three dominant prefectures j(Tokyo, Aichi, Osaka), is considered. A mapped representation of the dominant-subdominant relation in this table to the two dimensional Euclid space is shown, as the method of perceiving the structure of this relation macroscopically, and detecting the prefectures behaving contrary to the whole structure. The procedure is devised so that the coordinate of the prefecture i is firstly arranged to the natural region of this map corresponding to the order of the magnitudes of eij's for each j, then the distance-type objective function similar to the Kruskal's stress is minimized.
