    According to the data from Shumon-ninbetsu-cho (1663-1870 A.D.) and other records, the author found out the following conclusions:
    1. In the former, middle and the first half of the later pariod (from the latter half of 17C. to the end of 18c.) the increase and decrease of population and the number of families had run parallel to that of the crop from paddy field. It indicates that the economic life of villagers had depended solely on the income from their cultivated land.
    2. However, in latter half of the later perod (the first half of 19C.) population and the number of families both had gradually increased, and the difference between the upper and the lower class in their patterns of family component had been diminished. It is due to the fhe fact that additional income favored the people in lower class, such as servants, inn-maids, porters etc., by earning side-live in the inn-town. Because, during this period this comunity had become a local center of commerce and handicraft deside of an inn-town on the Highway.
    3. This is a case where a village happened to lie along a highway, and in other villages being aside from highways the said trend appears far later.
    Note (1) Shumon-ninbetsu-cho: The book in which religion of each individual or of family and territorial property owned have been registerred.

    Aso Atrio, consisting of the volcano, the alluvial plain, the alluvial fan, the talus, the terrace and the plateau, has the very complicated natural features, the whole of which orginates in the volcano-actions.
    Through the study of the process of reclamations, I made it clear what a regional system the modes of production and the enlargement of the residence did bring about.
    The reclamation on Aso Atrio, which were, to begin with, set about at the foot of the somma wall and the central corn both in the southrn valley and the northern one and secondly spread to the central region, left the terrace region in the southern valley and the fans in the eastern regions of both valleys undeveloped till rather later times.
    The farming methods in the process of reclamation on Aso Atrio came into being by the combination of the farming and the stock farming.
    And the regional unity had the combination of the arable land and the meadow on its basis, too.
    The administrative unit accordingly had often changed since olden times, but it had always included the arable land on the atrio, the central corn, the pasture and the meadow on the somma wall. The changing process of administrative division will explain that of the regional unity distinctly.

    A word “Stadtlandschaft” is genrally used in japan, while “Stadtbild” scarecely, except three or four geographers-Dr. Tujimura, Kiuch, prof. Kobata, Yasuda.
    A word “Stadtbild” is used, however, often than “Stadtlandschaft” by many urban geographers in germany. The conception of “Stadtbild” would be clarified in this study. Ninety-four words of “Stadtbild” were found in monographies written by twenty-one geogrsphers, Passarge, S., Gradmann, R. etc.
    The writer also tried and grasped the mening of “Stadtbild” in the works in which a word “Stadtbild” is used as well as “Stadtlandschaft”, so that as a whole, conceptinos of both “Stadtbild” and “Stadtlandschaft” many defined as follows:-
    The conception of “Stadtbild” is a physiognomy, while that of “Stadtlandschaft” are region. And the former may be regarded as one of the constructive elements of the cities, such as buildings, trees-etc, the latter such area as an space or sphere. and so, the conception of “Stadtdild” is local in space, “Nähe” in distance, is composed of asticifical, active, and sensible elements, while “Stadtlandschaft” is comparatively regional, “Ferne”, is composed of natural, static and less sensible elements.
    Summarizing these facts above-mentioned, the writer conclude that “Stadtbild” means something concrete, and “Stadtlandschaft” is used as conceptive than it.

    Gifu Chirimen which is now produced near Kagashima village to the west of Gifv city, began with the middle age of Edo era. From the historical point of view, its development can be divided into three stages as follows: (1) Beginnig (2) Changes of locations (3) Decline.
    Giving an outline of the Chirimen industry in each of the stages, I studied on some evident terms of locations in this treatise. As a result of my study, the following points were made clear:
    (a) It has had an important effect upon the existence of the indnstry in all ages that they can't support themselves by agriculture alone because most of this land locate on a swampy land.
    (b) The Chirimen industry was under the powerful protection of Owari-Han (a feudel clan) in the beginning.
    (c) The changes of its location are as follows: It has been deprived of the protection of Owari-han since meiji era, conseguently the former industry has once fallen into decay and has newly arisen from Kagashima, a poor farm-village.
    (d) The reason why the present indusltry is on the decline is as follows: It cant's become a large enterprise owing to its subordination to the wholesale capital and has remarkably suffered from the war and has been oppressed by the other new fiber industry.
