(2) Areas of Land Transactions
The total area of land subject to purchase or disposal transactions in Japan has remained generally stable since 1994 (see Chart 3-2-3).
With regard to land transactions in Japan in 2000, more than 70% of all transactions involved areas of less than 300 sqm (3,229 sqf) (see Chart 3-2-4, Chart 3-2-5).

2 Current Status of Land Transactions by Parties
(Current Status of Transaction Parties)
In terms of total land disposals, transactions involving corporations increased; while those involving individuals decreased substantially in 2000 (see Chart 3-2-6).
With regard to parties involved in purchasing land, the numbers of both individuals and corporations showed an increase in 2000 (see Chart 3-2-7).

Chart 3-2-7 Current Status of Parties to Land Purchases (Areas)
(Current Status of Vendors and Purchasers in Land Transactions)
With regard to the status of vendors and purchasers, the proportional numbers of transactions made by individuals and corporations in 2000 was almost the same as that in 1999 (see Chart 3-2-8).
On the other hand, in proportional area terms, transactions between "individuals to individuals" and "corporations to corporations" both increased (see Chart 3-2-9).

Chart 3-2-12 Trends in the Purchase and Disposal of Land (by purchasing and selling entities)
Source: Estimates taken from "Detailed Survey of Areas under Surveillance", "Basic Survey of Regulations on Land Transactions", "Prefectural Land Price Surveys" etc
Note1: These estimates were prepared in order to monitor the size of land transactions in terms of their monetary value. The estimates were made using various premises. Actual transaction prices were not used. The method of estimating transaction values is outlined below:
(1) Estimates were made by identifying the land parcels transacted according to land use and the size of the land area itself (provided by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport) and then multiplying these figures by the average land price (as calculated in prefectural land price surveys).
(2) The data used in these estimates was compiled from around 860,000 transactions (which is about 50% of total land transactions in Japan)
Note2: "Central Government and others" includes the National Government, local authorities, government corporations, public corporations and so on.
Note3: As data on the amounts of land purchased and disposed of was not available for 1974, 1986, 1987 and 1988, the figures for these years are estimated from the trend line.
