We investigated the amendities of life of the inhabitants-zone of commuting, school attendance, shopping and medical service etc., and discovered the relation between these districts and the bigger cities near them. The result is as follows :
1) Commuting
The percentage of the inhabitants who work in their own island is higher than that of the inhabitants who work outside. Even those who work outside have a job in the nearby island. So the commuting is rather limited.
2) School Attendance
The percentage of the students who attend the school that is not located in their island is higher than that of adult worker who work outside. They tend to go to high schools that are in the cities of Honshu or Shikoku.
3) Shopping
The percentage of shopping in their own island is mutually related to the scale of commerce in the district.
4) Medical Services
The inhabitants in Hiroshima prefecture zone where they have big hospitals get medical services in their own island, but the inhabitants in Ehime prefecture have to go to Imabarishi.
