Recent IRAS surveys have revealed that large infrared luminosities are originated from active star forming regions in galaxies (Soifer et al. 1986). Such starburst regions are frequently located in galactic central regions and CO observations indicate that these regions contain a large amount of molecular gas (e.g. Ishizuki et al. 1990). However, the triggering mechanism for starbursts and the mechanism of the high mass supply rate of gas into a galactic center are still unclear.
