In this report the land allotment is tried to restore to the original state by historical document and detailed survey map. Agricultural farming space on Jori-grid system was thought to be in homogeneous condition in spite of micro-geological differences. And then, the process of the development of the Jori-grid system is assumed as follows : firstly main (outer) levees for roads and creeks were developed in a short period of the first half of 8th C., and then the inner parts into paddy fields successively in the 8th C. and after.
