What is Noto Peninsula

This chapter uses Mobile Kukan Toukei™ (mobile spatial statistics) to collect the location data of mobile phone users in order to count the number of visitors at specific tourist destinations and examine their characteristics. Mobile Kukan Toukei is statistical population data created by an operational data of mobile phone networks. It is possible to estimate the population structure of a region by gender, age, and residence using this service of the company. The locations and characteristics of the individuals obtained herein are derived through a non-identification process, aggregation processing, and concealment processing. Therefore, it is impossible to identify specific individuals. This chapter attempts to identify the number of visitors in different periods and their characteristics based on the location data of mobile phone users collected by the mobile phone company. In addition, it also attempts to demonstrate an alternative method to more accurately infer the number of visitors in specific areas.
