Geographical Study of the Relation between Technique and Region

1.通过绘制冲绳岛耕地开发所破坏的森林以及近木县稻川河支流的高尔夫球场、墓地和住宅区的地图，讨论了经济高速增长期间的环境破坏。水能利用的第一阶段是以水磨为基础的，第二阶段是以水电厂为起点的。在从前者向后者过渡的过程中，水力区结构逐渐由碎片化向统一化、一体化转变。这些过渡阶段通常是在明治大正时期石川县泰多里河谷观察到的。比较了南海诸岛香芋灌溉栽培的耕作制度和技术的区域差异。并通过与东南亚和太平洋岛国根茎种植制度的比较，论述了南洋诸岛农业在发展过程中的地位和作用。一项重要的和正在出现的任务是对沿海村庄的调查，这为我们研究沿海人口提供了一个框架。特别是，渔民作为两个生态系统的观察者，都依赖于陆地和海洋。明治政府控制的长崎造船厂继承了江户时代末期引进的欧洲技术。原岛造船厂主要是由长崎造船厂的技术人员迁徙而成。对技术区划的分析结果，有助于总结“技术与区域关系”的研究成果。

1. The environment disruption during the high economic growth was discussed by mapping the forests destroyed by the developments of arable lands in Okinawa Island, and of golf courses, cemeteries and housing estates in the cathment of the River Inagawa in Kinki District.2. The first stage of the water-power utilization was based upon water-mills and the second stage of it began by hydro-electric plants. In the course of transition from the former to the latter, structure of areas blessed with water-power resources changed gradually from the fragmented one to the unified and integrated one. These transitional aspects were observed typically during Meiji-Taisyo period on the Tedori Valley, Ishikawa Prefecture.3. Regional differences of farming systems and techniques of the irrigated taro cultivation in Nansei Islands were compared. And, the position and role through the process of development of the agriculture in Nansei Islands were discussed, comparing with the root cropping systems in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands.4. An important and emerging task is an investigation into the inshore villages which offer a framework for our study of the coastal population. Especially, the fishermen have depended on both the land and the sea as observers of both ecosystems.5. Nagasaki shipyard controlled by the Meiji Government inherited the European techniques introduced at the last days of Edo period. Harima shipyard was mainly established by the movement of technical staffs from Nagasaki shipyard.6. The result of analyzing of technique to divide a town to lots was made to contribute to summarize the studies of "relation between technique and region".
