From an analysis of land registration information of vacant land lots, the author indirectly examined the potentiality of absentee landowners who had moved out from a subdivision district as “cause-related population.” When we consider the absentee landowners as the cause-related population in the narrow sense and in the broad sense separately, the definition in a narrow sense clearly shows characteristics of the cause-related population. While it is only fourteen landowners out of 455 families, however, it can also be considered as the 10% of 144 families who are continuously living for four decades in the district. In addition, many of the absentee landowners are now living in Kyoto City. Since it is a distance of about 55km for private cars, there can be a possibility that it will become the cause-related population.
