The Western Area of Mikawa-Highland, situated in the municipal sphere of 30-50km from Nagoya City, is a mountainous suburb area with the semi-highland cool climate. Nearby the Toyota automobile industrial center it has been extraordinally suffering from manpower exploitation by the enterprises. After several surveys, following points are verified and examined:
1) According to each crops or equipments style, there are many sorts of horticulture. At the point of view of the business economy, they are classified into these categories: vegetables horticulture as a side work, vegetables and flowers horticulture in hot house as a complex business management and ciclamen horticulture in hot house as principal economic understanding.
2) In accompanying the suburbnized degrees of the whole region, various horticultures were brought up: i) when they are in a stage that it needs the horticulture as a side work, ii) or when a larger scale of complex business is inevitable to cope with the flowing out of the manpower from that area, and iii) when an autonomic horticultural business is imperative to correspond with the enlargement of the whole agricultural economy.
3) In raising of horticulturists, the object was turning from the whole class of agriculturists to the middle class, and after then, now it has been transiting to the upper class, as amelioration of the existing agricultural state is so pressing.
4) This is an exemplified type of the horticultural area, where has some artificially reared and guided aspect, so that it shoud not be exclusively explained by the results of the spontanious aerial examination that, it is well befitting itself to the natural condition as well as to the social condition there.
5) So much easily it is affected from the percussion of suburbanization. It is too often disposed to develop as side work horticulture owing to its region's commutation. The first stage is appearance of the horticultural side work by the graduates who attend office. The 2nd stage is that of the middle class agricul turists raised by their change of occupation, and the 3rd stage the variation of housewives' working power by means of microbus transportation system. Remarkable exploitation of farmers' working power is accelerating the horticultural class differentiation.
6) Thus, the horticultural promotion at the mountain village was not to be initiated from its inner side motiviation, but has been pushed on by the powerful measures from public institutions, such as from the Agricultural Improvement Station, etc. Henceforth originally it has started with decisive conservative character in it. Yet it is too feeble to resist against the outside impact from the exploitation of farmer's working power.
