With the spread of the new coronavirus spread and the movement to refrain from going home and traveling spread, big data revealed how much people are actually refraining from. Using the data of NTT Docomo, NHK analyzed the number of people who moved across prefectures during the three consecutive holidays until October 10th, and as a result, it decreased to almost half, 55% of the same period last year. I understand.

Based on data collected by NTT Docomo from mobile phone base stations in a form that protects privacy, NHK calculated the number of people who moved across prefectures for three consecutive holidays until August 10 (August 8-10). (Sunday) and 3 consecutive holidays (August 10th to 12th) of the same period last year and compared and analyzed.
*Comparison in percentage based on the average number of people from noon to 4:00 pm.

As a result, the number of people who moved between prefectures during the three consecutive holidays until the 10th of this month was decreasing in all prefectures, and it decreased to almost half, 55% of the same period last year, nationwide.

Estimated by the number of people, it means that about 12.2 million has been reduced to 6.7 million.

In addition, the number of people who came from other prefectures was the
lowest in Akita prefecture at 28% during the same period last year,
▽ 33% in Niigata prefecture,
35% in Aomori
prefecture, and 36 in Yamagata prefecture and Kagoshima prefecture. %
▽ In Miyagi, Iwate, and Nagasaki prefectures, which decreased to 37%
, 29 prefectures in Japan had decreased to less than 50%.

On the other hand, the decrease is small around large cities such as Tokyo and Osaka:
▽ 74% in Saitama and Nara last year ▽
71% in Kanagawa ▽
67% in Kyoto
▽ 66% in Chiba Has become.

It can be seen from big data that while the movement of people is decreasing nationwide, the impact is small in metropolitan areas such as Tokyo and Osaka, while the impact is extremely large in remote prefectures.

Kuniaki Sasaki, a professor at Waseda University who is familiar with the analysis of people's movements, said that the data corroborated that they were actually refraining from returning home and traveling to the rural areas because of the new coronavirus. Since it is expected that it will continue, it is necessary to take measures according to the region, such as how to restore the local economy including tourism and how to recover the local economy, attracting people to the local and neighboring prefectures, etc. I point out.
