A map showing Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto, and Nagoya MEAs in 2015.Urban Employment Area (\u90fd\u5e02\u96c7\u7528\u570f, Toshi Koy\u014d-ken) is a definition of metropolitan areas used in Japan, defined by the Center for Spatial Information Service of the University of Tokyo. Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry defined 233 areas for the UEAs of Japan.[1] It is different from the definition of metropolitan areas defined in census by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications. For the latter scheme, see the List of metropolitan areas in Japan article.The basic principle of UEA is similar to that of the Statistics Bureau definition; a central city and its associated outlying municipalities with certain numbers of commuters. A UEA with at least 50,000 DID (Densely Inhabited District) population is called Metropolitan Employment Area (\u5927\u90fd\u5e02\u96c7\u7528\u570f, Dai-toshi Koy\u014d-ken) or MEA for short in English. A UEA with at least 10,000 and less than 50,000 DID population is called Micropolitan Employment Area (\u5c0f\u90fd\u5e02\u96c7\u7528\u570f, Sh\u014d-toshi Koy\u014d-ken) or McEA for short in English.Table of ContentsDefinition[edit]Top 100 Urban Employment Areas in Japan[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Definition[edit]Central cityIf a municipality has at least 10,000 DID population, and is not a suburb of any other municipalities, it is defined as a central city.Even if a municipality is a suburb of another, it can still be defined as a central city. In this case, a municipality must have workers working there more than those living there. It must also have the DID  population of at least 10,000, or a third of the population of the central city.SuburbIf a municipality A has more than 10% of its population commuting to a central city B, A is defined as a (primary) suburb of B.If there are multiple such cities for a suburb A, the one with the most commuters from A is defined as A’s central city.If a municipality A has more than 10% of its population commuting to another suburb B, and if no other municipalities have more commuters from A, A is defined as a secondary suburb or lower of B.If a municipality A has more than 10% of its population commuting to B and vice versa, the one with the higher percentage of commuters is defined as a suburb of another.If a central city comprises multiple municipalities, numbers of commuters to all those municipalities are counted for the calculations above.Top 100 Urban Employment Areas in Japan[edit]                    Source: Urban Employment Area (UEA) Code Table, “\u5730\u57df\u7d4c\u6e08\u306e\u5c06\u6765\u52d5\u5411\u5206\u6790\u306b\u95a2\u3059\u308b\u8abf\u67fb\u7814\u7a76” [A study on the future trend analysis of the regional economy] (in Japanese).W\/L here is j\u016bgy\u014d j\u014dj\u016b jink\u014dhi (\u5f93\u696d\u5e38\u4f4f\u4eba\u53e3\u6bd4), the ratio of workers in the area, against the number of workers living in the area.DID population here is a population of central city. If an area has multiple central cities, only the most populous one among them is counted.A 2015 population decrease from 2005 is written in red figures.Metropolitan Employment Area (MEA) is listed on white background. Micropolitan Employment Area (McEA) is listed on yellow background.Prefectural capital is numbered with blue background.1980 ranks include Kurashiki MEA, which was merged with Okayama MEA in 2000.
