  By considering the radiative force by a circumnuclear starburst as well as an
AGN, we analyze the equilibrium configuration and the stability of dusty gas in
the circumnuclear regions. It is found that the radiative force by an intensive
starburst can support a stable gaseous wall with a scale-height of several
hundred parsecs. Moreover, by taking the simple stellar evolution in the
starburst into account, we find that the covering factor of the wall decreases
on a time-scale of several $10^7$ yr. The large-scale wall, if formed, works to
obscure the nucleus due to the dust opacity. Hence, it is anticipated that the
index of AGN type tends to shift from higher to lower in several $10^7$ yr
according as the circumnuclear starburst becomes dimmer. On the other hand, if
the AGN itself is brighter than the circumnuclear starburst (e.g. quasar case),
no stable large-scale wall forms. In that case, the AGN is highly probably
identified as type 1. The present mechanism may provide a physical explanation
for the putative correlation between AGN type and host properties that Sy2's
are more frequently associated with circumnuclear starbursts than Sy1's,
whereas quasars are mostly observed as type 1 regardless of star-forming
activity in the host galaxies.
