Geographical Study of the Relation between Technique and Region

1.通过绘制冲绳耕地开发和近畿区稻川河流域高尔夫球场、墓地和住宅区开发所破坏的森林的地图，讨论了经济高速增长期间的环境破坏。水力利用的第一阶段是以水车为基础，第二阶段是以水力发电厂为基础。在由前者向后者过渡的过程中，水能资源禀赋结构由分散型逐渐向统一一体型转变。这些过渡性的现象在明治-大正时期的石川县手取谷地区尤为明显。比较了南西诸岛芋头灌溉栽培制度和技术的区域差异。通过与东南亚和太平洋岛国的根茬种植制度的比较，探讨了南西群岛农业在整个发展过程中的地位和作用.一个重要的和新出现的任务是对沿海村庄的调查，为我们研究沿海人口提供了一个框架。特别是渔民，他们既依赖陆地，也依赖海洋，是这两个生态系统的观察者。明治政府控制的长崎造船厂继承了江户末期引进的欧洲技术。播磨造船厂主要是通过从长崎造船厂转移技术人员而建立的。对城镇分块技术的分析结果，有助于对“技术与地域关系”研究的总结。

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".
