    Most of Japan's grasslands are thought to be the result of the human interruption of vegetational succession. In the Akiyoshidai National Park, a karstic plateau located in Yamaguchi pref., an artificial firing has long been set on every February to maintain its grassland landscape. The firing was one of the agricultural works done by the cattle breeders in old days. But recently, its agricultural importance has diminished as the decline of breeding, the firing is now carried out as the largest sightseeing event. About 1, 000 residents from 31 settlements take part in making firebreaks and firing itself.
    The motivation of this paper is what emotional change has occurred to the residents in the stream of history. The history of Akiyoshidai is divided into following three stages:
    1) Pre-modernization stage
    Agricultural use was active. Residents who were mostly farmers used grasses as green mature and to feed cattle. They cultivated at dolines on the plateau.
    2) Modernization stage
    The post war rapid growth of economy caused the decline of agricultural importance of the grassland. On the other hand, the U. S. Army's maneuvers were planned to be done on the Akiyoshidai in 1956, and the opposition movement took place. This movement brought out the national interest on Akiyoshidai's landscape and its preservation.
    3) Tourism prevailing stage
    As Akiyoshidai became a famous sightseeing place, the number of tourists has much increased after new traffic methods like Shinkansen were available. Thus the firing became important sightseeing event.
    From the interviews with residents, the author noticed several features as follows:
    1) Although the importance of tourism has increased, they are not very interested in it. For some residents the Akiyoshidai is recognized not as a nature-preserved area, but still as the open field to gather some plants.
    2) Although the firing work faces the excessive aging of residents and the lack of successors, they conservatively have no idea but that work must be done by them as long as possible.
    3) They seem to be unconscious of the purpose of the firing. It is concluded that the firing is to no more than their custom kept from days when they were cattle breeders, and is now what reminds them what they were.

    Weh Island, in the northwestern end of Indonesia, has a natural good harbor, Sabang, where sailers had been longing for wind in the sailing ship age. The harbor which was the fualing base and the free port for the steamers to supply coal and water in the mid nineteenth century. That is why, Weh Island had been built in touch with foreign cultures and powers, and it had ups and downs many times afterward. So far only few studies have been done on this district, which has interested me to touch upon the regional structure of this area and to throw light upon its change by recent sketches of this island.
    Trade of late years has had close connections with Asian country. Recently some of the functions of Sabang port have been shifted to Balohan, Krueng Raya or other ports.
    Although the population of this island had increased rapidly since Sabang became free port, that of this area dose not decrease in spite of abolition of free port system. It seems reasonable to suppose that this situation comes from the encouragement of industrial development.
    Islamite Aceh has a large population in this island. The primary industry population is overwhelmingly large.
    From the above mentioned circumstances together with excellent natural environment, I consider that Weh Island should prompt tourism. In particular, transformation of international airline, expansion and completion of airline development of service industry and of traffic system by means of foreign capital.
