    After the Second World War, political geography has mainly tended to the disposition of “changeable” and “functional” facts.
    The analysis method of previous politlcal geography was rather “morphological” or “unorganic.”
    (1) Namely, present political geography is tending to more humancentric than previous one.
    Jones has emphasised the facts that human being ought to cause “movement” for political area; the chain from idea to area is solved with his unified field method of political geography.
    (2) Internal state problems have been newly carried on with this study.
    Moodie has especially dealed with the problems of internal political geography in his work. Hartshorne has also tried “functional” analysis between internal and inter-state relations.
    (3) The personality of political community or political area must be analysed as an organization that has genesis or process, structure and function, but indicators related to these facts are difficult to select. Upon the internal communities of Japan I've tried to analyse with some of these indicators, but as statistics or some other data are made by unit of administrative area, I must be bound to it's boundary. Because no adequate machinery exists for the collection of similar data regarding reasonable regions.
    (4) Problems concerning state mass in the world are interested in present politlcal geography. Sometimes, the world politlcs are based on local state mass as local, regional relation of states are somewhat strictly. Finding out the method how to solve the meaning of local state mass relation, is necessary to political geography.

    The Seto Inland Sea Area may be divided into two parts, east and west, by a line connecting Onomichi and the Takanawa Promontry. The eastern part is better fitted for salt-making industry. Formeroly this industry was active at Arai and Matogata, but since the middle of the 17th century, the salt fields in such localities as Ako, Ajino, Sakaide and Muya have made a rapid progress, and at the present time they still keep the representative position in this area. Among these, the development of the Ako salt field has been the most remarkable.
    Studying the process of the development of the Ako salt field since the 17th century, we can find 6 epochs:
    (1) Expansion of the salt field on a large scale in 1646-1653.
    (2) Adjustment of the salt transaction business in 1661-1703.
    (3) Use of coal for fuel in 1823.
    (4) Enforcement of the monopnly-system in 1905.
    (5) Modernization of the salt-making factory in 1938.
    (6) Reconstruction of the salt field since 1952.
    The investigation of the procss of the development of the salt-making industry at Ako brings us to a conclusion concerning the regional progress of this line of industry.
    The chief causes of rhe development of the salt-making industry in the eastern part of the Seto Inland Sea, especially at Ako, are; that the climate is suited to it, that the feudal lords protected it during the Edo Era, that the facilities of communication made it convenient to send salt to the various places in Japan.

    1. Fishing villages on Sanriku coast are suffering from a vast surplus population and most of them emigrate to Hokkaido and work as fishing laborers there. Especially the number of emigrants sent from the villages on the sandy coast immediately adjoing the fishing port of Hachinohe averages as many as 648. Thus these Villages may be more properly defined as emigrant villages than as fishing ones.
    2. This is due to the fact that, which the construction of Hachinohe fishingport in the eighth year of Showa (1933) and the gradual completion of its various facilities since then, the capitalistic fishing system of Hachinohe has made such a remarkable progress that the port has got completely seperated from its surrounding fishing villages, while the latter, which were unable to adjust themselves to the modern system, was destined to declive as a result of annihilating exploitation of fishing resources by the modernized fishing methods and the lowered cost of production owing to mass production system.
    3. Thus a large host of fishermen in these villages were thrown out of employment, while the modernized port of Hachinohe could not afford to employ them. The unemployed fishermen turned out to be farmers, but they were compelled to go to work on the fishing grounds in Hokkaido so that they might make up for the scanty production of their newly reclaimed land.
    4. This shows what a great influence the modernized capitalistic fishing system has upon the decline and disolution of the feudalistic fishing villages, and at the same time offers an example of the transmutation process of Japanese fishing villages in general.
