Abstract
It is the purpose of this paper to research into the space organisation of the present rural region and its structure, and to investigate the desirable method of rural planning by pointing out some problems existing in this space structure. As a result of this report, it is proved that the major, space structure of the present rural area is composed of farm, Agricultural Cooperat on and home stead, besides that the functional relationship of the three spaces is irrational. It is arisen from a private enterprise system in Japanese agriculture. Therefore, it is necessary to consider that the desirable rural planning should be made a start from the reform of agricultural product system.
