This paper is devoted to give examples of the “Gozoku” settlements and moated settlements iii several districts of Japan, and to descrike the regional differences in scale, structure, physiognomy, subordinate relations and place names of the “Gozoku” settlements.
It follows that the “Gozoku” settlements in the mountainous districts are different from those in alluvial fans in Iwate Prefecture. There are differences in scale, physiognomy and economic life between setlements in the Tohoku district and in Plokuriku district located in the alluvial fans. Particularly the “Gozoku” settlements in the Kinki district are completely different from those in the Tohoku district in the form, settlement of place name, subordinate relations through their history of development. Moated settlements have their own respective origins and functions. These settlements are considered to be largely affected by their own regional characters.
