Nuclear activities in galaxies, such as nuclear starbursts or AGNs, are supposed to be induced by gas fueling into nuclear regions of galaxies. Non-axisymmetric gravitational potential caused by a stellar bar is a convincing mechanism for triggering gas fueling (Phinney 1994). However, numerical simulations have shown that the bar can not force the gas to accrete toward the galactic center beyond the inner Lindblad resonance (ILR). As a mechanism to overcome the ILR barrier, the double barred structure (Friedli & Martinet 1993), or the self-gravity of gas (Wada & Habe 1992, 1995; Elmegreen 1994) are proposed.
