Geographical Study of the Relation between Technique and Region

1. 通过绘制冲绳岛耕地开发和近畿地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图，讨论了经济高速增长期间对环境的破坏。水电利用的第一阶段以水磨为基础，第二阶段以水力发电厂开始。在由前者向后者过渡的过程中，水电资源富集区的结构逐渐由碎片化向统一一体化转变。在石川县的Tedori山谷，这些过渡方面在明治-太代时期是典型的。比较了西南诸岛灌溉芋头耕作制度和技术的区域差异。并通过与东南亚和太平洋岛屿根系种植制度的比较，探讨了西南群岛在农业发展过程中的地位和作用。一项重要的新兴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，作为两个生态系统的观察者，渔民既依赖陆地又依赖海洋。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。Harima造船厂主要是由长崎造船厂的技术人员迁移而建立的。通过对城镇分块技术分析的结果，对“技术与地域关系”的研究进行总结。

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".
