Recently, while the problem of population decline has become more severe, the population of local cities is decreasing further due to the concentration of population in cities. The problem of excessively decreasing population paralyzes administration and harms the local welfare environment. Many regions and countries have tried attracting the residential population to local cities. However, in the current situation where the overall population is decreasing, more than increasing the residential population is needed to fundamentally solve the problem as it takes population from other regions. Under this social background, in the case of Japan, the "related population" who do not live in the region but have relationships and interests are attracting attention. The "related population" refers to people who have a relationship with the region and are attached to the relationship rather than the "interacting population." In addition, relationships, knowledge, and understanding of the region are needed. In other words, disseminating information about local cities is essential in securing relevant populations. This paper aims to investigate the possibility and effectiveness of securing information on regions that are important for expanding the "related population" by using user reviews of private lodgings in local cities.Recently, while the problem of population decline has become more severe, the population of local cities is decreasing further due to the concentration of population in cities.
