This study investigates the relationship between land use and landforms in and around small alluvial fans in peripheral areas of the Osaka plain and typical areas of the foot of the Hira and Yoro Mountains. Orchards, mulberry fields, fields, and forests were widely distributed throughout the fans, with urbanized areas only located at the fan ends at the foot of the Hira and Yoro Mountains. In contrast to these typical land uses, paddy fields and urbanized areas were widely distributed throughout the fans in the peripheral areas of the Osaka plain in the 1920s and 2000s, respectively. These results show that the relationship between land use and landforms on small alluvial fans are very complex.

Seismic wave records at the surface of sedimentary plain are mainly composed of main phase and surface waves. The informations of input wave record in base rock and S wave velocity distribution to base rock are enough to consider the main phase. And moreover the informations about underground structure to bed rock of all sections of plain are necessary to discuss surface wave which travels from surrounding rock range to observation point. For this items of the Osaka plain, there were some crumbs of informations. In 1988, we tried two explosions at a manmade “Hokko” island in Osaka bay. This paper shows the results: five ground structures and a countour map of depth to base rock of the Osaka plain.

The presentation is to clarify the development of the religious practices of Koreans and the transition from the "Korean Temple" before World War Ⅱ to the current "Temples for Koreansliving in Japan". In particular, I would like to mention the influence of transnational circumstances on religion surrounding practitioners of "Temples for Koreans living in Japan".

西麓地域(東大阪市河内地域)から産出する縄文時代後期および晩期の土器の中には,その胎土が暗褐色～茶褐色を呈し,角閃石類を多量に含むという特徴を有する土器群があることが知られている.これらの特徴を有する土器は,“河内の土器”と一般的に呼称されており,他地域の土器とはもちろん,この地域のほかの土器とも容易に識別される.
これらの土器について,土器薄片を作成し,偏光顕微鏡下において観察と記載とを行った.その結果,(1)これらの胎土中の粒子の大きさ分布は5μmから250μmの範囲で,破砕物が一般的に示すフラクタル性(スケーリング則)を有すること,(2)粘土の質・量とも断層内物質の一般的特徴を有すること,(3)粘土は一般的に用いられていたものとは異なり,接着性が非常に高い特異なものであることが明らかになった.さらに,鉱物・岩石片からなる粒子には,破片状の尖った外形を呈するものが多く,断層岩に特徴的な粒内微小断層や微角礫状組織あるいはカタクラサイト状組織を呈するものもあり,顕著な不連続的波動消光や双晶面のたわみ・キングバンドや機械的双晶という変形岩・断層岩を特徴付ける組織が多いこと,が明らかになった.以上のような土器胎土の特徴から,その材料として断層内物質が用いられた可能性がきわめて大きいと考えられ,胎土材料としてほかの材料を考えることは困難である.その産地としては,岩石学的・地質学的特徴から西縁を南北に走る生駒断層の破砕帯が最も可能性が高いものとしてあげられる.

In this paper, author studied the conditions of location of the Suna Site and deduced the geomorphological environment of those days by restoring the environment with geomorphic and geological methods and by tracing paleogeographical changes. Based on the results, the author concludes that the microforms in this area can be classified into 8 units. A geomorphological map (Fig. 2) was drawn based on the results.
The Suna Site is located on the center part of an alluyial fan-like lowland. The surface of the lowland forms an incline of 8.5‰ toward the west. The height of the surface varies from 2 to 14 meters above sea level. This means that not the alluvial deposits of the Yodo and the Neya Rivers but those of the small rivers entrenching terraces and hills to the east formed the lowland. The extensive distribution of the Jori grid-system partition is a characteristic found on this surface. The surface rises to a relative height of 2 meters from the lowland of the Yodo and forms a terrace.
According to the observation of archeologically excavated sections, the Suna Site and its vicinity were in a marshy environment with deposits of humus, silt and clay before the late Jomon Period (3, 000∼2, 300y.B.P.). The westerly inclination of layers of early and late Kofun Preriod indicates that deposits were supplied from the Ikoma Mountains, and the alluvial fan-like lowland was expanded to the westward at that time. But the surface of the coarse deposits from the Ikoma Mountains and that of the marshy deposits of silt interfinger each other. This indicates that the Suna Site was located near the end of the alluvial fan-like lowland of those days. The content of sand and gravel within the deposits increased remarkably in the late Kofun Period. This fact shows that the alluvial fan-like lowland expanded again in this period. However, from the Middle Ages onward, there was little accumulation of deposits.
By pollen analyses, much pollen of broad-leaved trees such as Cyclobalanosis were detected from the black silt layer of the late Jomon Period. However, not so much pollen of pinus nor that of herbaceous plants were detected from the layer (Fig. 7). It seems that the forest around the Suna Site was not badly damaged at that time. And it seems that this area was situated in the Warm Temperate Zone, because vegetation in this area was dominated by Cyclobalanosis and Quercus. For lack of deposits, the author has not deduced the vegetational history of this area in the Yayoi Period (2, 300∼ 1, 700y.B.P.). Some pollen of Trapa and Typhaceae were detected from the dark gray sandy silt layer of early Kofun Period by pollen analysis. It seems that the ground water table rose. And abundant pollen of Cryptomeria and Chanaecyparis were detected from the dark grey silt layer with pebbles from the late Kofun Period. The author presumes that precipitation increased in this area. In addition, much pollen of Gramineae were detected from the deposits. This suggests the beginning of cultivation in this area.
