    1) The prerent essay has, apart from particular details, aimed to classify from the combined aspects of age and locality the development of land utilization in Hirosima Prefecture as a whole.
    2) The Inland culture may be described of the ancient-medieval type, the Coast-Insular culture of the medieval-early modern type and the Delta culture of the early modern-modern type, respectively.
    The first is characteristic of an agricultural civilization highly self-sustaining throngh irrigation facilities. The second developes a commercial character depending on water traffic. The third put together a mdieval marketharbour and an ancient “Kokufu” on the basis of cooperation of man and mature, and give rise to the civilization of a modern city.
    3) The deltas in Hirosiona, which is scanty of plains, werr born in the early modern period and have grown knots connecting the Setouchi and the inland, owing to the increasing demand of land. They are invested Hirosima with geographical “Standort” as madern cities, and have contributed to the growth of the Prebecture as a whole, absorbing the coast-insular as their parents and the inlands as their grandparents.

    I mean that the suburbs of a big city, took up here, is the geographical sphere on which the trade area of the big city have influence. The trade area of a big city extends very powerfully, that is, its sphere is wide geographically, moreover it has a large number of consumer in the sphere of influence. It is hard to develop the trade area of suburban centres at the suburbs of a big city, and so if the trade area can exist, it is only a part trade area in that of a powerful big city. However, even if the big city has a powerful trade area, it can not extend infinitely. Its influence is weeken at the definite limitation. And outside of the linitation, the local trade area can exist and develop independently. In short, that the trade area of the suburban centre is week, is concrolled by the distance between the suburban centre and the big city. From the consumer's point of view, the distance is meaned by the time element or the traffic expence.
    We surveyed Fushimi-southern suburbs of Kyoto-to study the above mentioned relation concretely. At the result of the survey, it comes to light that they buy high-priced articles at the central shopping centre or departmentstores of Kyoto, and low-priced at Fushimi. This applies to the rural districts. Shortly, the trade area of suburban centre exists on the balance between the buying desire of consumers and supplying power of suburban centre. And the distance lies at the base of this balance.

    The area lying to the west of the city of Fukui, where the rivers Hino and Asuwa, which flow through the plains of Fukui, meet, has two follawing peculiar significances.
    1. It has long been cultivated, and there are some old recards and maps kept which show that it was reclaimed in the 8th century as a manor of the Todaiji Temple. These records and maps enable us to see the natural landscape of the reclamation, making this area very interesting when we compare it with the present exploitation of the land.
    2. As is usual with tracts of land enclosed between two rivers, this area has often been flooded. On one side of the area are depressed mountains, and as the land of the feet of these mountains is lower than the rest, the peaple have been at great pains to fight against floods, which fact makes a specific character of this area.
    In order to protect the lower tracts at the feet of the mountains from floods, embarkments (Yashiro, Noda, Emori) were built in olden times, and it can be known by referring to the old maps that this swampy land has been used as paddy pields fore 1, 200 years. And as to the management of irrigation and drainage in this area, there have been definite agremets made among the interested villages. The area which is far away from the swampy land and close to the confluence is occupied by the natural levee of the two rivers, being high and dry. In olden times it was left for grass to grow, but it has gradually been cultivated and is now readjusted and has mostly been made into paddy hields. The land which is hard to drain is provided with drainage-pumps, while the land which is hard to irrigate is provided with pumps for raising water. Thus we can see that the narrow land between the rivers is artificially controlled, fully showing traces of human reconstruction of nature.

    1) There are found two types of fishing villages on the coast of kitaura. First: The fishing villages near by the city of Hagi, where all villagers are calling on a deep-sea fishing, using chiefly a Burioshiki seine and Nobenawa as well.
    Second: The other fishing villages than the abowe mentioned ones, where some of the villagers are following the fishing industry by means of a keta seine and a fishing line and the others are farmers.
    2) 98 percent of all fisherman's houses are privately and on a very small scale following the industry with a no-motor vessel and a vessel of less than 3 tons, while the rest 2 percent are cooperating with each other.
    The former followers are getting 57 percent of the products and the latter ones, 43 percent of them.
    3) Two or three fishermen of the members of each small fisherman's house are playing a main and essential part in carrying on this industry, and 97.8 percent of them are getting fish-catch that comes up to less than 200, 000 yen and they are carrying on the other industy, agricalture.
    4) In this fishing industy every Funamoto employs labourers called Kako and Ogo, who are natives of a village, and Funamoto has prevented his employees from giving up their job for a scanty payment by allowing a reasonable commission on their profits or by dividing his profits among them in proportion to everyone's stock.
    5) The fishermen of the Kitaura fishing villages are the pioneers who have developed the fishing ground in Korean waters, but they are now forced to go fishing in the East-China-sea because this fishing industry has come to a standstill on account of the political troubles between the Japanese Government and the Korean Government. So now the Kitaura fishermen are now locked out of the fishing ground in Korean waters, wich has deprived them of the fishing ground on which their lives have solely been depending and they have been driven into hot water.
