JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWhen the structure of activities of Retailing Business is comprehended as a regional phenomenon, it is usually approached by means of the analyses of its inner factors and outer fluctuating factors. In this article we shall attempt a dynamic approach to the latter.
As one of the factors forming the Retail Trade Area, purchasing faculty was taken up and, to make it easy for us to compare, it was replaced by a purchasing rate and a purchasing faculty index. And on the bases of the data of the market survey which we made, according to the method of logical analyses from the standpoint of market geography, in Chigusadai Apartment Region in Nagoya City, in the groups of companies' houses in Yokkaichi City, and in the new city regions of Hanta City, Kasugai City and Ichinomiya City, we attempted the analyses of the purchasing rate and the purchasing faculty index, under the indexes such as income and occupations as social, economic conditions and the distance from a market as a geographical condition.
As the result, the Retail Trade Area can be roughly divided into three zones, and its structure can be diagramed, with the distance or social economic index shown on the axis of ordinates and the purchasing rate on the axis of abscinassa. There can be seen an acute angled triangle, an epuilateral triangle, a pyramid, a cylinder or an upside-down pyramid. These shapes represent the structures of retail trade of the market, the department store and the specialty store one by one. And the commercial managing agency representing no model of trade area proves to be agency which has not settled its own trade area yet.
In the diagram of the purchasing faculty index of final consumers classified by occupations, the salaried classed represent the highest structure. So we can realize that the most influential factor for the structure of consuming market is the salaried classes.
The convenience goods and shopping goods represent the difference of social, economic, regional change in the distribution of purchasing rate. As for the convenience goods, the shopping chain relation of trade area between two cities competiting trade area can not be seen, but, as for the shopping goods, it can be seen.View full abstractDownload PDF (2045K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSBefore the World War II, among Japanese cities ranking high in population there was a large gap between the so-called six large cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, Yokohama, and Kobe and other smaller cities. Concerning the central functions, the central cities in the broad region beyond the prefectural area had not developed except Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. But Hiroshima and Sendai had partly those functions.
After the World War II, Japanese economy has developed strikingly and economical system of Japan has become larger in scale than before. Consequently, the secondary and tertiary industrial populations have increased gradually. As the results of the population concentration into such cities as Fukuoka, Sapporo, Hiroshima, Sendai, these cities have developed as the center of the large region besides the above cities. Among these cities, the development of Fukuoka and Sapporo are especially rema rkable, which were smaller than Hiroshima and Sendai before the World War II. Fukuoka has gained superiority in conpetition .for establishing the center of the large region in Kyushu. The central functions in Kyushu were dispersed in Fukuoka, Kumamo to and Nagasaki by the historical inertia from the feudal age. On the other hand, the cent ralfunctions in Hokkaido had remove from South to north withthe progress of frontier settlements, and the central city in Hokkaido was transfered from Hakodate to Otaru and then to Sapporo.
The development of these center of large region indicates that the present prefectural system is no more fitted for the actual condition of the regions and the prefectural system must be transformed to that matched to the large regional system.View full abstractDownload PDF (1952K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe writer has investigated the distribution of binocular manufacturing works and geographical significance of their location in Japan. The following facts were disclosed.
1. There are 215 binocular manufacturing works in Japan today. These works are very small in scale, having average of only 16 workers in each workshop.
Most of the works are concentrated in Tokyo area, and about 95% of them are closely distributed in Itabashi district, northern part of Tokyo metropolis, forming core of the distribution in Japan.
2. The following factors are considered to play an important role in the location of the binocular manufacturing industry.
a) One of the location factors which exerts a conspicuous influence upon the present pattern of the distribution is the existence of the commission agents naving an overwhelming power over the works. For the reason that all of the commission agents are situated in Tokyo, many works tend to be attracted by them and distributed in Tokyo area.
b) In Tokyo area, Itabashi was the only district where large scale binocular plants for mtlitary purposes were situated before the war. After the war, the production of the plant were all changed to peaceful (binocular) industries, and the existence of technical experts who worked in these factories may be said to have been the cause of their concentration in the area.
c) In recent time, the superiority of Itabashi district to others, which, as, mentioned already, plays an important part in the distribution of binocular industries, is due to the existence of many workers and subcontractors who are obliged to offer their cheap labour.View full abstractDownload PDF (1355K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThere are many sight-seeing resorts in Japan, but the author thinks there are quite different types of them. Each resort has its own characteristic types of recreational activities. Big resorts are Atami spa, Beppu spa, Nikko, Fuji-Ha-kone, Seto Inland Sea National Park and others, but on the contrary, many small local resorts are found here and there as is the case in the central part of Chugoku region.
The purpose of this geographical study is to set up some grades and to know geographical patterns of many sight-seeing resorts. Now, the results of this study are as follows;
There are four grades of sight-seeing resorts in the centre of Chugoku region; namely (1) International resort (2) National resort (3) Local resort, and (4) Neighbouring resort. There are some international resorts in Sanyô district; they are Miyajima shrine, Hiroshima city, Iwakuni city, and so on; however, in San-in district there is no international resort.
In the centre of Chugoku region, there are four national (ihcluding international resort) gight-seeing district, that is to say, there are (1) Hiroshima-Miyajima-Iwakuni, (2) Fukuyama-Tomo-Onomichi, (3) Tottori-Misasa spa and (4) Daisen-Izumo
After the Second World War, transportation, (above all, bus, railway services) has made rapid progress. Some grades of the resorts became so apparent, and some fixed correlation and systematic combination between the sight-seeing resorts and their neighbouring resorts resulted from rapid progress of transportation.
In the centre of Chugoku region there are many various landscapes, … mountainous, volcano, valley, sandy coast, rocky coast, lakeside, hot spring, religious, and urban, etc. Lake, seaside, volcano, hot spring, and religious landscapes are most attractive.
In many sight-seeing regions, almost all of sight-seers are transient, and they (including almost all of foreigners) decide to go to some famous hot spring spa or some famous cities to take up one or two nights for their lodgings.View full abstractDownload PDF (1514K) -
