Abstract

Spatially-fine data of gridded population of the world (GPW) is useful for various objective including energy demand modelling, climate modelling, urban mitigation/adaptation planning, among others. However, future projection of GPW is typically performed using fairly simple methods, and its validity is still unclear. This study first empirically compares the performances of several representative methods for GPW projection (forecasting), subsequently it performs scenario creations of Japanese residential electricity demand for 2050 using the population projections, derived using the models, multiplied by an intensity. This paper discusses the potential dangers of applying widely used constant-share method to the depopulation country like Japan, which include urban declining regions.
