We believe that Mitinoekis will help regional revitalization to be realized as regional bases and entrances. In this letter, in order to understand current situation analysis, we estimate the number of local residents who use Mitinoekis in regional areas. For the purpose, we classify Mitinoekis in rural village, underpopulated area and other ereas, calculate the ratio of the number of users to the traffic volume of Mitinoekis (stop-by rate) in each area, and examin the importance of Mitinoekis in rural village and underpopulated area. In addition, we investigate the presence of hospitals and clinics around Mitinoekis in rural village and underpopulated area, and examine how it affects the stop-by rate to Mitinoekis.
