THE DEVELOPMENT OF URBAN SYSTEM AND CITIES IN NEWLY OPENED REGIONS

本研究旨在分析东北亚、东非和南部非洲新开放地区城市体系、城市功能和城市内部结构的历史变迁。主要研究区域是岛屿国家，如南部非洲的毛里求斯、马达加斯加和塞舌尔以及日本的北海道，这些国家的殖民历史不像新开放的地区那么长。在这些地区，可以看到城市的首要地位，门户城市是非常大的城市比其他城市的城市功能连接新的前沿和发达地区。收集了主要的统计数据、城市地图、GIS数据以及历史和工业方面的参考资料，并对毛里求斯的路易港和夸特雷·博尔内斯、法属留尼汪岛的圣丹尼斯和马达加斯加的塔那那利佛等门户城市的土地利用和城市景观进行了研究。在韩国举行的国际会议上作了关于门户城市的主题演讲，并主办了关于毛里求斯的研讨会，作为日本非洲研究协会的研究会议。并发表了本研究的最终报告，共分三部分九章。本报告的内容如下。第一部分从国际比较的角度，对北海道和南非共和国（第一章）以及小樽、横滨、开普敦和仁川（第二章）进行了比较。在第二部分中，我考察了非洲城市的特点：第三章考察了城市的一般属性，第四章考察了内罗毕，第五章考察了开普敦，第六章考察了喀麦隆城市，第七章考察了塔那那利佛。第三部分分析了日本城市的特点，第八章分析了北海道城市的一般性质和城市功能，第九章分析了日本城市中心区的结构。

This study aims to analyze the historical changes of urban system, city functions and internal structures within cities of the newly opened regions in North East Asia, the Eastern and Southern Africa. Main study areas are the island countries, such as Mauritius, Madagascar and Seychelles in the Southern Africa and Hokkaido in Japan, where the history of colonization is not so long as the newly opened regions. In these areas, there can be seen the urban primacy ; the gateway city is extremely bigger than other cities by the urban function connecting new frontiers and developed regions. I collected main statistics, city maps, GIS data and references about the history and industries and studied the land use and cityscape of gateway cities such as Port Louis and Quatre Bornes in Mauritius, Saint Denis in Reunion island of French territory and Antananarivo in Madagascar.As the result of this study, I wrote some drafts for nine books, made a keynote speech about gateway cities on the international conference in South Korea and hosted the workshop about Mauritius as the research meeting of Japanese Association for African Studies. And I published the final report of this study which consists of three parts and nine chapters. The contents of this report are indicated as follows. As for Part I, from the viewpoint of international comparison, I compared Hokkaido and Republic of South Africa (Chapter 1) and Otaru, Yokohama, Cape Town and Inchon as gateway cities (Chapter 2). With Part II, I examined the characteristic of African cities ; general properties of cities in chapter 3, Nairobi in Chapter 4, Cape Town in Chapter 5, Mauritian cities in Chapter 6 and Antananarivo in Chapter 7. At last I analyzed the characteristic of Japanese cities with Part III, general properties and urban functions of Hokkaido cities in Chapter 8 and the structure of the downtown area within Japanese cities in Chapter 9.
