Abstract
At Uwano-hara in the suburbs of Shiogama City, a postwar reclamation project was carried out for the purpose of using it as farmland. However, the land allotted to the farmers was too small, and not enough care was taken after the destruction of farms due to a typhoon (1951). Most of the farmers are now working at offices in the city, taking advantage of their suburban dwelling. Nevertheless they retain the land, even if it is a waste land for they expect to sell it at a high price as house-lots in the near future.
