The results showed that local governments with smaller population sizes tend to have higher concentrations of commercial and service industries within the basic planning area. Additionally, the conditions of accumulation differ depending on the type of industry: where higher-level industries tend to accumulate, the proportion of those used on a daily basis is lower. Moreover, the composition of industries in the basic planning area varies by region, can be categorized into groups, is related to the population size of municipalities, and has unique characteristics based on geographical distribution.
