SPECIFICALLY, WE INVESTIGATED THE EFFECTS OF TOKYO DISNEYLAND ON THE FINANCES, CITIZEN'S CONSCIOUSNESS AND BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENTS IN THE CITY OF URAYASU, IN WHICH THE THEME PARK IS SITUATED. REGARDING ITS INFLUENCE ON MUNICIPAL FINANCES, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE DISNEYLAND-RELATED TAX REVENUE OF THE CITY WAS SO LARGE THAT IT ACCOUNTED FOR 10% OF THE CITY'S TOTAL TAX REVENUE. AS FOR THE PARK'S EFFECTS ON RESIDENTS' CONSCIOUSNESS, IT WAS LEARNED THAT MANY CITIZENS HAVE FAVORABLE IMPRESSIONS, NOT BECAUSE OF THE CREATION OF AMUSEMENT FACILITIES, BUT BECAUSE OF THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE CITY'S IMAGE. LITTLE INFLUENCE WAS NOTICED ON BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENTS, ON THE OTHER HAND. AS SEEN IN SCARCE NEW JOB CREATION OR INSIGNIFICANT LOCAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT STEMMING FROM TOKYO DISNEYLAND.
