Abstract
The Method of Human Geography has close relation to that of Plant Geography. Far from that when Plant Geography had been built up dy the botanists, the splendid method has deen originated and making the rapid progress.
It was V. de la Brache who took this problem up consciously. Prof. Iizuka emphasised this when he introduced Vidal de la Brache into our country.
The method of Plant Geography is included, into that of Human Geography, of which we has not been aware. Since “Geography as Human Ecology” had appeared in America this has been made clear. A current of geography after Plant Geography did not consider this view, and so yet we have many problems about it. Social method and ecological method have been introduced into our geography these years. But it is necessary to understand this tendecy with a system of the 20th centuies-geography, I think. The report is a memorondum in relation to this view, which is one of the continuous report of my “Idea and Landscape of the Areal Plan.” (RITSUMEIKAN BUNGAKU, Aug. 1950) I am intending to point out that Landscape Geography and Human Geography do not deny mutually, but are in the same current.
