  • Fact Book 2019 2020 Kyushu University
    Published March FACT BOOK 2019 KYUSHU UNIVERSITY 2020 KYUSHU UNIVERSITY FACT BOOK 2019 English edition English edition Message from the Director of the Office of Institutional Research Kyushu University’s Office of Institutional Research (IR Office) was established in April 2016. Reforms and improvements based on self-assessment of a university’s activities and analysis of the results are essential to enhancing that university’s functions. Accordingly, national university corporations have a legal obligation to undertake their own evaluation of the extent to which they have achieved the medium-term targets that they set for themselves based on their medium-term plans, and to engage with the certified evaluation and accreditation process for quality assurance in education. In 2001, before it became a national university corporation, Kyushu University established the Office for Information of University Evaluation to conduct university evaluation. As its duties subsequently expanded, the office was reorganized with augmented capabilities in 2004, and it took charge of duties associated with "National University Corporation Evaluation" and "Institutional Certified Evaluation and Accreditation", among others. Although the Office of Institutional Research was able to deal with such evaluation-related tasks, it was barely equipped with any functions to support the analysis of the results of self-assessment and the promotion of university reform and improvement based on numerical indicators and qualitative indicators backed up with evidence. As such, making a fresh start under a new name in Japanese (although its English name remained the same), Kyushu University’s Office of Institutional Research was given stronger functions in these areas, in addition to its evaluation-related tasks, the objective was to support a more substantial governance structure that permits the strategic management and administration of the University, under the President’s leadership.

    Intra-regional Disparity and Municipal Merger: Case Study in Fukuoka Prefecture Dr. Hiroshi SAKAMOTO Research Associate Professor The International Centre for the Study of East Asian Development (ICSEAD) 11-4 Otemachi, Kokurakita, Kitakyushu, 803-0814 JAPAN Tel: +81 93 583 6202; Fax: +81 93 583 4602 E-mail address: [email protected] Tentative version for ERSA 2013 Intra-regional Disparity and Municipal Merger: Case Study in Fukuoka Prefecture Abstract This study examines intra-regional disparity and municipal merger in Fukuoka Prefecture that is located on the west side of Japan, near the Korean peninsula. The history of the municipal merger is long and many municipal mergers and other self-governing bodies have so far been performed. Especially, after entering in the 21st century, it decreased about 1/3 times. Now, there are 60 municipalities (28 cities, 30 towns and two villages) including two government-designated major cities in Fukuoka Prefecture: the Fukuoka city, the central city in Fukuoka Prefecture, and the Kitakyushu city, a big city with a population of about one million. These 60 municipalities are classified into 15 bloc regions and these regions are classified into four areas. However, the possibility of municipal merger can be considered by the problem of a population side or financial aspects from now on. In this study, the municipal merger is considered from a viewpoint of the regional disparity. First, the income disparity is analyzed. Theil index is adopted to interpret evidence. It can decompose samples and investigate the factor analysis of regional disparities. Second, same analysis is conducted from industrial structure.
