1. After distributing questionnaires in February of 1992 for a survey in the Kanto area on the flow of information and the use of information media, we decided to examine a feeling expressed by its respondents that they had insufficient access to information and images that they have about the information media. We then examined the regional characteristics behind the nature of the field of information, relations to the media.2. While the feeling that there is insufficient access to information - especially with respect to local news-may be considered to be one of the factors behind the feeling that there is an information gap, the Kanto area may be distinguished from other regions in that only a small percentage of the respondents cited television as the appropriate medium.3. When one looks at the areas for which there is insufficient access to information it can be seen that as a general trend Tokyo and the surrounding areas displays a relatively higher lack of information of the community, while regions removed from the capital have a similar lack of news related to personal interests. In addition to this there may also be seen differences due to environmental and population-driven factors. And when one looks at cities in order of their sizes it can be seen that while in the hub of areas removed from Tokyo there exists a feeling that there is insufficient access to entertainment news, the feeling in Tokyo and its surrounding urban areas is that the lack is one of information pertaining to the services by local government. Finally, it should be noted that while rural areas removed from Tokyo do not express a particularly sharp lack of information, but these regions lack of access to information on local administrative services in comparison.4. When one looks at the trends towards the favored media for obtaining news by region, it can be seen that newspapers is the main source of information in the neighboring area of prefectural office and CATV is the primary source in Tokyo and surrounding urban areas while books and flyers are of comparatively greater importance in remote regions from the capital. And when one looks at the comparison of cities by the order of their sizes, it can be seen that mail and CATV may be viewed in urban areas near Tokyo while there is a relatively higher percentage of reliance on television in urban areas removed from Tokyo and CATV in rural regions. However, while it can be seen that the percentage of respondents in rural areas naming media other than flyers as sources of information is rather small in absolute terms, the truth of the matter remains that there is no reasonable alternative media to serve as a source of the necessary information.
