| Popis: | 99 The study aims to explore the population growth, the population distribution and the composition of the population in Nantou City during the past 60 years (1950 – 2010). It also analyzes the essential factors which affacted the change of demography. Based on the data of Nantou City Household Registration Office, the author conducts the research of the change of each village for ten years through the analysis of statistics package for the social sciences and geographic information systems. Every village is used the smallest unit for this study. The results show that the population kept the positive growth in the early period, but it became negative growth during 2001~2010. The population growth was influenced gradually by the social factors and the effects even ascended to 80% during 2001~2010. The population growth changed from population sustained increase to population reduction in most villages. Futhermore, the percentage of the population descended from 21.53% to 7.06% in seven villages of Nantou City core. Because of bad landforms and inconvenient traffic, the analysis of this study reveals the recession in Dongshan village and Fengshan village as well as Fushan village. This is the reason why these villages had less demographic growth and distribution. In terms of statistic study. The demographic composition has shown the balance of sexual ratio. However, with the influence of the reduction of the birth rate, this area has reached the time of aging. And the population pyramid has tended to be like the warhead-pyramid pattern. The factors that have influenced the demographic change include the establishment of Zhongxing New Village, the set-up Nangang Industry Park, the axis of traffic, the commercial area and the location of junior high and elementary schools. The analysis of this study indicates that the restriction of the school areas has had a little impact on the distribution of population. But the establishment of Zhongxing New Village and Nangang Industry Park facilitates the population growth. Through the analysis of traffic axis, the population distribution in Nantou City extended to the Northern part of this city. While, with the process of statistics package for the social sciences, the population distribution in the commercial area of Nantou City is in accord with the negative exponential model by Colin Clark. |
