Text Mining Analysis of Incorporated Administrative Agency Activities

Abstract

  The incorporated administrative agency system was founded on the final report of the Administrative Reform Council as one such as central government offices of the pillars of the reform. There was a policy of the big reform many times, and a new system was started in April, 2015.

  Many of previous studies focused on the system, however, few offered empirical research. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to clarify the common characteristics, trends, and activities of each incorporated administrative agency.

  Through text mining, it was found that the incorporated administrative agency activities comprised four core activities. Furthermore, I suggest that text mining is a valuable tool to visualize characteristics and tendencies.
