为什么齐夫定律在城市等级规模分布中失效?
Why Does Zipf's Law Break Down in Rank-Size Distribution of Cities?
摘要:
我们在数据分析的基础上研究了日本城市的等级规模分布。从第二次世界大战后的人口普查数据中,我们发现城市的等级规模分布由两部分组成,每一部分都有独立的幂指数。此外,分布的头部的幂指数随时间变化,齐普夫定律只在有限的时间内成立。我们发现,齐普夫定律打破了由于昭和和平成大合并和恢复由于人口增长的中型城市后,昭和大合并。
英文摘要:
We study rank-size distribution of cities in Japan on the basis of data analysis. From the census data after World War II, we find that the rank-size distribution of cities is composed of two parts, each of which has independent power exponent. In addition, the power exponent of the head part of the distribution changes in time and Zipf's law holds only in a restricted period. We show that Zipf's law broke down due to both of Showa and Heisei great mergers and recovered due to population growth in middle-sized cities after the great Showa merger.
