This paper clarifies the community-based farm corporation’s employment strategy, channels and job selection of employment structure of agricultural workers in Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture. It additionally examines the profile of such corporations in view of this employment structure. In settlement A, Tajimi City, many farmers retired early, and a community-based farm corporation (company B) was established to maintain the farmland. The agricultural products planted by B are divided into two types according to the purpose of production. The first type consists of rice and blueberries, planted to maintain all farmland in settlement A. Strawberries and micro leaves are the second type, and B continues to obtain high profits from these agricultural products. Key workers in the production of the first type are women living in Tajimi City, who engage in unskilled labor (1). For the second type, full-time employees with agricultural skills are hired (2). The relationships that have matched them with company B differs between (1) and (2). While (1) were matched through introductions from women living in A, the emphasis for (2) is on their formal relationship with the Gifu prefectural agricultural college. In addition, the wage levels also differ between the two categories. For (1), this is set at the minimum wage of the Gifu Prefecture, while for (2), it is the same level as that offered by non-farming companies in Tajimi City. By raising the wage level for (2), B aims to recruit better worker and, it can be said that B has a peasant profile as its purpose is to maintain the farmland, while at the same time incorporating an entrepreneurial profile.

　This study aimed to describe the spatiotemporal structure and diffusion pattern of electric vehicle （EV） charging infrastructure and its factors, with a focus on adopters of EV charging infrastructure in Saitama city. The author analyzed 149 point data of EV charging infrastructure and each adopter’s behavior using seven years of maps made by Saitama city and “Charging infrastructure development vision” of Saitama Prefecture. Characteristics of EV charging infrastructure diffusion were considered.

　All wards of Saitama city had EV charging infrastructures by the early 2010s, when EV charging infrastructure had been diffused in Japan. After that, the number of EV charging infrastructures increased annually. Adopter’s action were divided into three phases, in which different types of actors adopted EV charging infrastructures in each phase. Some adopters renewed or added their EV charging infrastructures. Data of EV charging infrastructure was recounted based on an interview survey of some adopters. Some adopters adopted EV charging infrastructures into their group stores in same year, which caused the differences in each phase. Furthermore, this action diffused EV charging infrastructures into multiple wards in same year.
