Use of Major Former Military Grounds and Remaining Former Military Buildings in Tokyo Prefecture in 1948

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to clarify the use of major former military grounds and remaining former military buildings in Tokyo Prefecture in 1948 by analyzing the data in “Report of former military grounds and remaining former military buildings in Tokyo prefecture.” I found that there were some former military grounds and former military buildings that GHQ did not use. I found that some grounds were used for agriculture and others for education, housing, factories and laboratories. I can point out that such grounds and buildings were usually mixed-use, and education facilities and laboratories were taken over their former use of military age. I also found that there were few former military grounds and former military buildings that were not in use.
