Abstract
This paper studies the relationship between the land use formations centered on the paddy field and the bird inhabiting in the western part of Robe city and East Harinla (Inami-cho, Kako country and eastern part of Akashi city). As a result, the fewness of bird population and bird species and low level of bird's diversity were confirmed in the single paddy field of land use and warm house, artificial land in the farming area and isolated paddy field and field in the town area. On the other hand, the various land use compositions increase the bird diversity in the rural landscape at urban fringe area that include the paddy field, upland field for open cultivation, secondly woods and rural settlement with trees. It is thought that the various land use existed diversely is important for the bird inhabiting.
