The purpose of this paper is to contribute for curriculum development in education of the area of students' residence in Japanese overseas school for geographical education attached importance to Students' “international understanding education”. In order to get this purpose the auther caught what students of Japanese school in Bangkok talked about thinking of the area of their residence, 1) living in Bangkok, 2) image of Thailand (about Thai culture—Thai cooking, Thai language), 3) image of South East Asia.
The results were as follows, 1) Having lived in Sukhumvit Road, the students have hardly come in contact with Thai culture and people. They have lived in only Japanese community in Bangkok. 2) There is their individual difference whether they have taste for Thai cooking. But they all feel very hot in Thailand. And studying Thai language is difficult for almost Japanese students, except some of Thailand-born Japanese. 3) They show a friendly feeling for the countries around Thailand, Malaysia, Shingapore, Indonesia, in the friendly relations between Japan and South East Asia.
It is nessesary for all Japanese people in Bangkok to try to understand culture and society about the area of their residence, because Japanese students are menber of Japanese community in Bangkok, which exerts a influence upon their understanding of the area of residence. The other hand, in Japanese school, the teacher should develop instructional materials for education about culture and society of the area of their residence positively. Besides it is effecitve to take up such their cross cultural experience as they employ Thai maid or Thai driver at home.
Japanese school's curriculum and practice, developed in difffferent regions all over the world, will be good for curriculum development in geographical education coped with “internationalization”

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the location of delivery centres of major supermarkets and the areal structure of their delivery networks. Three major supermarkets i. e, Daiei, Seiyu, Jusco and their affiliated firms, were chosen as objects of the investigation. The three companies established more delivery centres in the Kanto area than in other areas of Japan.
The results of the analysis are summarized as follows:
1) In the Kanto area, most of the delivery centres were established in the 1980s. Seiyu built a delivery center there in 1969, but Daiei and Jusco did not build centres there until the early 1980s. From the middle of the 1980s. the three companies established more delivery centres in the Kanto area. These delivery centres were all smaller than the ones previously established.
2) In the early 1980s, a hub and spoke delivery structure was evident in the Daiei and Seiyu groups, whose new stores were concentrated in the southern Kanto area. A bipolar delivery structure became evident in the Jusco group, whose new store locations were split between the southern and northern Kanto areas.
3) From the middle to the end of the 1980s, each supermarket established several delivery centres that were small in size and served a small area within the range of the larger delivery areas. A bipolar delivery structure was noticeable in the Daiei and Seiyu groups, and a multipolar delivery structure became evident in the Jusco group. This transformation may have resulted from each supermarket company emphasizing the importance of store delivery. In addition, this multipolar delivery structure developed due to the increase in the number of widely dispersed retail stores for each of the three corporate groups.
4) Between the Dahei and Seiyu groups, in which a bipolar delivery networks is currently noticeable, the delivery time for each store is different. In the Daiei group, the delivery area is divided within city areas such as Tokyo and Yokohama, in which traffic can be heavy, so there is a large number of stores with a short delivery time. In the Seiyu group, there is only a small number of stores that have a short delivery time. This is because the Seiyu group has a large delivery centre serving a large area where is heavy traffic. and the smaller regional delivery centres serve larger areas compared to the Daiei and Jusco groups. In conclusion, the location of delivery centres and delivery area boundaries, as delivery area size, have a great influence on delivery time.
