It aims to clarify the changes of functions of coordination carried out by National Land Development Ministries, and the changes of intergovernmental relations concerning national land development policy.To accomplish this research, we have mainly collected materials about national land development policy in postwar Japan and interviewed the parsons related. And, we selected Hokkaido development policy since 80's, Okinawa promotion and development policy since 90's, and Tohoku development policy during postwar as case studies.To summarize our argument, there are chief three points. Firstly, we clarified multiple concepts of national land development. Secondly, we explained the role and limitation of planning and coordination functions of the regional development ministries. Lastly, we clarified the dynamic and pluralistic characters of intergovernmental relations.
