In many provincial cities of Japan, there has been decentralization of urban functions due to expansion of urban area and suburbanization. As a solution to such a situation, there has been an effort to promote cities as a hub through implementing a compact city policy, however, it is not based on scientific evidence. For the future policies, it is required to demonstrate evidence by obtaining induction and formation process of cities and building stocks in the past. Therefore, this study focused on the real property registration information as an evidence to describe the actual condition of buildings that were constructed in the past. As the result of this study, the behavior and actual condition of a city was demonstrated in a quantitative way.
