    In 1980s, the urbanization progress of Shanghai developed more rapidly than the past. This resarch tries to explai the process of settlement space change and the problems of new village planning in the riverside district from the case of Wang Jia Qiao Settlment (WJQS) .
    WJQS is twenty kilometres away from the central city of Shanghai, and now there are one hunderd fifty-five people, It was formed by getting various advantages from a small river. Naturally, each family area (including housing lots and farmland) called Basic Family Unit (BFU) was divided by the river.
    The development of WJQS has experienced three main periods as follows:
    1) Had extened along the river since it was formed.
    2) Enlarge to the south and north began in the 1960's.
    3) When the twelve families moved to new housing lots of the settlment in 1983, the each traditional housing lots rebelonged to another family.
    From analysing above, we found the reason of the change was the increase of the number of population firstly. At the each time the local people decided the size of housing lot by using the bay of traditional house. So that the bay be-came a Basic Space Unit (BSU) not only for housing but also for definning the outside space, and even to be kept in mind by the local residents.
    The BFU and BSU were not changed. Still, the river has separated from the central of the settlment.
    In the new village planning, the local goverment planner wants to centre twenty-seven settlments of the village and save the land for production. In the planning, each traditional settlment will be destroyed and the life of the residents will leave from the river by and of this century. The residents just had rebuilt new houses in the 1980's, so that only three percent people accept to move the new housing lots. From analysing above, this project has many problems.
    Obviously, we must develop the another planning method to reconstruct village, paying much attentions to the re-gional and traditional composition of socity, space and culture in the village.

    At present, one of the main subjects of land consolidation project is to widen the area of a paddy-field parcel and improve labor productivity. Typically, a project for performing such an objective is the “Land consolidation project for cost reduction in rice paddy fields”. One of the conditions of this project is to divide parcels of paddy fields whose area is 1ha or more, by four or more. But in order to accomplish such a condition, reaching an agreement on the re-plotting disposition becomes more difficult. So in this paper, the author has considered the factors which have made it easy for farmers to reach an agreement on the replotting disposition based on the project in the Sesenagi distriot in Taiyu-village, located on Akita prefecture as a case study. As a result, the following points have become clear:
    (1) First, the farmers in the district have recognized that the necessity of the project is high.
    (2) In the district, there are not significant differences in the field conditions, so there have been few factors prevent-ing the farmers from reaching an agreement.
    (3) In this case, the replotting disposition has resulted in one or two adjoining plots for most of the farmers, if the place in the district does not matter.
    (4) In the district, another grant-in-aid project has been introduced whereby the charge for the land consolidation be-came very cheap for each farmer.
    (5) There is a tendency that the level of appreciation for the project of the farmers, who are permitted to enlarge the scale of their farm in the district, is relatively high. However, on the other hand, equalization of the additional be-nefit per 10a received by each farmer may have also contributed partly to this.
    (6) In considering the whole project, it can be said that it has not resulted in differences of the additional benefit per 10a received by each farmer as much as they have not been able to reach an agreement, as the expected effects of the projects is large and the charge they have to bear is very cheap. Consequently, it can be said that the farmers have been able to reach an agreement.

    This paper places focus on the nature of development policies for backward areas and their operational organiza-tions in 80' China.
    Inter-regional econcmic unbalance, especially poverty, have become a serious obstacle to the development and social stability. In this context Chinese government has implemented integrated backward areas development programmes. It is seen in their major features that the focus has shifted from relief work to economic comprehensiveness as well as basic needs, in particular to the poor, by way of participation. Furthermore, allocation and use of aid-funds have sys-tematically reformed from the viewpoint of efficiency. Financial resource has come to be distributed in package with innovative technologies and concerned services.
    While successes in developing backward areas, there have been not a few organizational problems occurred. In re-spect of pursuing objectives, first, the conflict have appeared between the lead agencies, viz, government administra-tion vis-a-vis bank. The second is the adjustment of objectives between the central and the local governments. On the other hand, both town-ship and village-ship are institutionally required to smoothly channel aid-resources to benefi-ciaries at the bottom level, namely the poor, through their organizations.
