    The importance of internationalizing geographical education in Japanese schools has been highly recognized. In this paper, the undergraduate courses of World Regional Geography offered by the Ohio State University is examined, in terms of several important concepts for internationalization. The highlighted concepts are three-fold: firstly, an aspect of historical processes of countries; secondly, geopolitical views on national territory, and the spatial incongruity between state and nation; lastly, the concept of spatial connectivity developed among the countries.
    Those concepts will be instrumental in overcoming the environmental deterministic structure of the traditional regional geography, and to create a more dynamic and integrated world regional geography.

    Development of teaching materials of the urban phenomena is very important for social studies because the majority of the population lives in the urban areas and its neighborhoods. In social studies, therefore, it is necessary to develop teaching materials about urbanization.
    One of the authors had already made a mode of teaching materials that utilizes a model of forming alluvial fan in order to examine the mechanism of urban sprawl. The schematic model is shown in Fig. 1.
    In this paper, the authors find criterias to clear the constructed ages of houses, by focusing on the materials which consist of the houses and the its exterior characteristics such like windows, roofs, walls and so on.
    Therefore, the authors, using the exterior characteristics of the houses, make clear the age of urban developments sprawled into the back marsh areas that have segregated from the old settlement areas in the western parts of Gifu city and the eastern region of Lake Biwa.
    As shown in Fig. 4-7, the urban sprawl phenomena are become more remarkable in the back marsh areas of both studies areas, especialy, after 1970s.
    The authors emphasize the idea as a conclusion that, it is necessary to develop teaching materials for social studies, in which childrens are interested, and by which they are able to make a field work by themselves.
