| Abstract: | Japan is a nation of islands. The mainland itself consists of five islands, namely Honshu, Hokkaido, Kyushu, Shikoku and Okinawa. There are also 435 inhabited small islands, constituting just under 3% of the total Japanese land area, in which around 1% of total inhabitants of Japan reside. Although the word island refers to a land surrounded by sea, in this study we shall confine our definition of an island as one with a land area of 1000Km2 or less. The five ''mainland" islands are therefore excluded from this definition. |
