Recent development of electro-optical distance measuring (EDM) techniques has enabled us to repeat precise base-line surveys very easily . Among the various models now available in the market, an AGA Geodimeter is regarded as one of the most responsible instruments. From this point of view, the authors have been conducting patrolling Geodimeter surveys since 1963, in order to establish an effective monitoring system of crustal movements .Thus, there have been constructed fifteen base-line networks in central Honshu, Japan. The present paper introduces the authors' scheme of field work and of data analysis as well as a summary of the observational results at these sites . In the Matsushiro area, for example, they observed abnormally high rate of strain accumulation associated with the swarm activity. During the period October 1965October 1966, the three base-lines of Sorobeku, Nishiterao and Zozan changed their lengths for +116, +72 and -40cm, or, +3.7×10
-4, +2.5×10
-4 and -0.9×10
-4 in strain, respectively. Strain accumulation to the peak values and its gradual decay following them harmonizes very well with the uphe aval and tilt of the ground there, in respect to their mode of development . It seems to suggest that the observed horizontal deformations have essential bearing on the processes in the focal region.
