This paper aims to clarify the characteristics of the Post-War reconstruction plans of the provincial towns, Makurazaki, Kushikino, Akune, Nishino-omote, Tarumizu and Kajiki in Kagoshima Prefecture, where planning and implementation were carried out collectively by the Prefectural Office of Kagoshima. This study comprehends the planning concepts described in "Plan Documents on the Land Re-adjustment" prepared for each towns, and investigates how the urban design in the reconstruction reflected them. Under the post-war circumstance, positive goals were set up particularly in the port towns like Kushikino and Tarumizu, where became the South End of Japanese territory since the islands in the south of the lat.30°N. were under U.S.Occupation. And by the distinctive design solutions, for example with the circus or water-front square, indivisualities of the townscape in each towns were realized.
