JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this study is not only to describe the climate of Nishio city, but also to make an insight into the substantial structure of heat island phenomena by giving an example of Nishio city. So it is required to make the maps of energy balance in an urban area of Nishio city. For this purpose, the two methods were adopted; one was to make clear the diurnal variation of urban temperature, another to investigate the heat island phenomena seen on the ground temperature in and around an urban area.
The diurnal variations of the urban temperature were observed from May 31, to June 1, 1976. The climatic elements observed were soil temperature at the depth of 1, 6, 12 and 24cm, dry and wet bulb temperatures at the height of 0.5 and 1.0m, wind speed and direction at the height of 1.0m. At the same time, the moving observations on foot were made in the five groups. Also, those of air temperature by a car were made by using thirmister themometer. The results are shown in Fig. 5 to Fig. 9.
Heat island phenomena seen on the ground temperature were investigated by making the distributional observations of the soil temperature at the depth of 0.5 and 1.0m every month from March to October, 1977 except August. Also in May 31, 1976, the distrbutional observations of the soil temperature were made in datail. The results were shown in Fig, 10 to 12.
Finally, the factors causing the urban climate of heat island were considered by investingating the structures of the buildings in the city, that is, the materials and the height of the buildings, soil moisture, surface cover of the earth or etc., Fig. 13 indicates the distribution of the soil moisture shown with the depth of the ground water. The relationship between soil temperature and surface cover of the earth is shown in Fig. 14.View full abstractDownload PDF (1172K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe author studies the regional balance of the industrial labor force in a major labor market and its circumference, analysing the relation of the distribution, commuting flow, and migration of the industrial labor force in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area. The investigation is focused upon the period of between 1960s and early 1970s—the age of Japan's rapid growth of her economy.
The main results are summarized as follows;
1) Through the industrial labor force flow caused by commuting, a core region and its surrounding regions in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area are directly interrelated. At the same time, each zone having its particular features is almost concentrically arranged with the major labor market being a core. The zones are defined as “Tokyo ku-area and its adjacent”, “Main labor supplying zone”, “Semi-independent zone”, and “Independent zone” respectively from the center.
2) Among them so called “Semi-independent zone”, 40-60km away from the central city Tokyo, corresponds to the fringe of the industrial labor force agglomeration. It is also positioned as the outermost border where the out-commuter can find employment in the manufacturing industry located in the core zone. The Semi-independent zone functions as a transitional one from the inner “Main labor supplying zone” to the outer “Independent zone”.
Thus, the manufacturing plants, large or small, located in “Main labor force supplying zone”, collect labor force from broader areas beyond the commuting zone than those in the “Semi-independent zone” do. It results in regional differences among them in the percentage of the labor force supply within the commuting zone.
3) The above patterns of the industrial labor force flow are formed through in-commuting from outer zones and out-commuting into areas with better employment opportunities. It seems reasonal both for employers and for employees who, as a means of daily journey to work, would like to seize as good employment opportunities as they can.
4) By migration the labor force flows not only one-sidedly into the Kei-Hin core zone, but also does considerably from its outer areas. Although the movement distance and others differ, there also exists an analogous pattern in migration to commuting that labor force is supplied from outer areas and is flowed into areas with better working conditions.View full abstractDownload PDF (1842K) -
