“…All statistical analyses were performed using the STATA (Ver.9 for Windows) and two-tailed p values of less than 0.05 were regarded as statistically significant. Although there were several measurements to report the geographic distributions [ 10 , 19 ], this study used the mean numbers of judo therapy facilities per 100,000 people with their Gini indices according to our previous studies [ 14 , 15 ] and Japanese other studies [ 6 , 10 ]. The Gini indices were calculated based on Lorenz curve, and the procedure of the calculation was as follows.…”

“…Gini indices can provide a standardized basis on which to make judgments on the comparative degrees of geometric unevenness for different manpower resource pools at a point in time, or over a period of time [6,7]. The indices have frequently been used to study disproportionate distributions of health services, including those pertaining to the numbers of physicians and medical facilities [8-13].…”

“…The Lorenz curve and Gini indices, originally used in economics research to assess income inequality [ 4 , 5 ], were chosen to describe geographic distribution in this study because they can be used to summarize resource distribution on a formal, standardized scale from "0" (even distribution) to "1' (greatest possible unevenness of distribution). Gini indices can provide a standardized basis on which to make judgments on the comparative degrees of geometric unevenness for different manpower resource pools at a point in time, or over a period of time [ 6 , 7 ]. The indices have frequently been used to study disproportionate distributions of health services, including those pertaining to the numbers of physicians and medical facilities [ 8 - 13 ].…”

BackgroundJudo therapy is a well established Japanese co-medical profession specializing in outpatient manual treatment of fractures and sprains. Recently, the number of judo therapists has been rapidly increasing as a result of proliferation judo therapy academies. This study examines whether such rapid increases have improved geographical distribution of judo therapy facilities in Japan.MethodsThe number of judo therapy facilities and the population in each municipality were obtained from the Web yellow pages and from Japanese census data for 2004, 2006, and 2008, respectively. Lorenz curves and Gini indices were calculated to demonstrate distributions of judo therapy facilities per 100,000 people. A bootstrapped method was used to identify statistical significances of differences in Gini indices.ResultsIn all municipalities, the mean numbers of judo therapy facilities per 100,000 people were 15.3 in 2004, 15.8 in 2006, and 17.6 in 2008. The Gini indices for judo therapy facilities nationally were 0.273 in 2004, 0.264 in 2006, and 0.264 in 2008. The numbers of judo therapy facilities increased significantly between 2006 and 2008 (p < 0.05) but the indices did not change significantly in the same period. The Gini indices for local towns and villages remained unchanged and were consistently higher (p < 0.05) than those in urban areas throughout the study periods.ConclusionOur results suggest that recent increases in the number of judo therapy facilities have not necessarily led to greater equality in their geographic distribution in terms of Gini indices.

El problema abordado en este estudio es cómo pueden los campus universitarios de Japón, caracterizados por la separación del contexto y por fronteras cerradas, abrirse a la sociedad circundante sin perder la naturaleza ´diferenciada’ de los lugares destinados a la comunidad de estudiantes y profesores. En primer lugar se presenta la particularidad de los espacios universitarios japoneses y se explican varias posiciones teóricas sobre la naturaleza cerrada o abierta de los campus y la importancia concedida al papel educativo de la comunidad. A continuación se analizan seis campus que encarnan la teoría que responde a la pregunta inicial: la de la comunidad universitaria ‘en diálogo’ con la sociedad circundante. Los campus seleccionados son: Saitama Prefectural University, Future University Hakodate, Nagoya Zōkei University, Sapporo City University, Okinawa Christian University, Okinawa University. El análisis de los conceptos de planificación se apoya en entrevistas con los proyectistas de cinco de ellos: Yamamoto Riken y Makishi Yoshikazu. Finalmente se concluye con la posibilidad de que las soluciones de planificación que responden al problema inicial sean: la pequeña escala; la centralidad de los espacios comunes; los ‘umbrales’ físicos o visuales pero abiertos del campus;el reconocimiento del entorno del campus; y instalaciones educativas compartidas entre diferentes facultades.
