    On the nature of geography, German geographers have spoken of “Landschaft, ” while French ones have preferred to describe “paysages humanisés” (humenized landscapes) which reflect modes of life (genres de vie). “Landschaft” and “genre de vie” are often used in explaining the nature of geography in each country. But in their practical works, they describe observed landscapes at first, and next, explain the functions which constitute them. Then, we can say that the landscape is a mirror of geographic functions. In human geography, these functions are human activities. Considering the landscapes as a morphological aspect of geographic phenomena, and the modes of life as a functional aspect of them, we may be able to consolidate German and French method of study.
    French geographers regard these activities as genre de vie of human groupes. Human regions are, then, considered as changing frame works of them. From such a point of view, we examined some works of French geographers: P. Vidal de la Blache, A. Demangeon, C. Vallaux, M. Sorre. Although there are many differences in nuance, they agree to regard landscapes as a creation of human activities, and all of them research the human groupes as a creator.
    Nowadays, some French geographers study the landscapes themselves (A. Meynier: Les paysages agraires), others do all sorts of centres constituting landscapes (Clozier: La gare du Nord; M. Rochefort: L'organisation urbaine de l'Asace), others study the human groupes as economic-social system (J. Labasse: Les capitaux et la région, P. George: Questions de géographie de la population), and some others describe the humanized landscapes (M. Sorre: L'homme sur la terre). Hereafter, French geographers will be engaged in researching the human groupes more in details.
    At any rate, the mode of life is a functional aspect of human groupes, and the landscape is its effect which canditions them.

    This study has been made to analyze and explain the status of transportation, both railroad and road, of the Chûgoku District, Western Honshû, primarily based on seven maps which have been made by the author. The seven maps are as follows: Volume of Railroad Freights Transported (Map 1), Volume of Railroad Freights Shipped Out by Stations (Map 2), Volume of Railroad Freights Shipped In by Stations (Map 3), Number of Railroad Passengers Transported (Map 4), Traffic Volume of Automobiles (Map 5), Traffic Communities Established by Railroad Passengers (Map 6), Traffic Communities Established by Automobile Traffic (Map 7).
    Map 7 shows the Chûgoku District divided into some 100 first-order traffic communities of a small size. These first-order traffic communities form in the aggregate seventeen second-order traffic communities focused on the local central cities. The seventeen second-order traffic communities are included in turn in the four larger traffic communities of third-order each being centered on Hiroshima, Shimonoseki, Hamada, and Matsue. Since the traffic communities established by automobile traffic make a considerable contrast to those by railroad transportation, the author wishes to establish a more thoroughly comprehensive hierarchical network of transportation by considering both railroad and road transportations simultaneously.

    This report is to show (a) the historical background of the peach cultivation and (b) the regional differences in the development of the peach cultivation, and in the influence of the capital of canning industries today, in Fukushima Basin.
    The results are as follows;
    1) Before the World War II the peach cultivation in Fukusnima Basin was in most cases set about by the lower class peasants (the tennants farmers) who fell off in their sericulture, a main production there. After the war peach cultivation has been introduced into every class of the farmers instead of the prewar sericulture.
    2) They grow, besides peaches, apples and rice crops, or rice crops. The small scale peasants are more dependent on peach cultivation.
    3) After the war the capital of canning industries and brokers have pushed into the area and have caused various influences. The new growing districts and small scale peasants are more influenced.
    4) The shipment is divided into two types;
    (1) The more developed type of shipment is through Nokyo, Agricultural Cooperative Associations. (e.g. in Yuno-machi).
    (2) The less developed type of individual shipment is through brokers (e.g. in Kamihobara-mura, where the influence of the canning industries and brokers are remarkable).
    5) Peach cultivation asks for concentration of labor at a time, especially when fruits are wrapped with paperbags, and at the harvest time. The general tendency is to save labor by omitting the wrapping, etc. But the using of a lot of labor and its cocentration at a time are really still unavoidable in the regions where canning industries and the market expect the wrapping in order to keep high quality.
