It is known that a large number of massive stars are formed in a circumnuclear giant H {\sc ii} region. Therefore, we propose that continual merger of compact remnants left from these massive stars is responsible for the formation of such an intermediate-mass black hole within a timescale of $\sim 10^9$ years. A necessary condition is that several hundreds of massive stars are formed in a compact region with a radius of a few pc.}, pages = {533--537}, title = {Formation of intermediate-mass black holes in circumnuclear regions of galaxies}, volume = {52}, year = {2000} }
