This study aims to provide a direction for the future utilization of de facto population in urban policies through the analysis of de facto population-related concepts and policies. The results of this study are summarized as follows. First, de facto population can be used as an alternative to traditional population policies to measure the vitality of a city. Second, there is limited evidence to suggest that the increase in de facto population contributes to the revitalization of local economies in depopulation areas. Third, in order to utilize the de facto population for urban policy, it is necessary to shift from the settled population to the service population concept. In the future, we will continue to monitor the results of this research and explore ways to apply it to all local governments, not just those with declining populations.
