Creative Regional Study by Mapping of Topographies in Edo and Meiji Periods

通过对江户、明治时期珍贵地貌的分析，构筑了创造性的地域体系。地理信息系统在绘制地图和叠加地图方面非常有用。我收集了珍贵的地形图：小保垣(Kanbun Muranura Oboegaki)(1672)和小熊纯树(Owari Junkoki)(1822)，小和里(Chisekicho)(1884)，小和(Owari)地区的千岛町(Chisekicho)(1881年)，冲之(Oki)的纪福根(Gifuken Kakugan Chosonryakushi)(1681年)，冲之(Zohoinshuki)(1688)和八岛(Kenchinayoseco)(1726)。我可以揭示出小和里地区农业、经济和人口因素的明显的核心-边缘结构，在以水田为优势的小和里和水田(Mimabata)湿地，对旱田的评价远远高于水田。我在以下国际会议上作了报告：美国圣路易斯(10/2002)和巴尔的摩(11/2003)；奥克兰(12/2003)历史地理学家国际会议；新西兰(12/2004)和德国柏林(3/2004)欧洲社会科学历史协会。

I made up the creative regional system by analyzing the precious topographies in Edo and Meiji periods. GIS was very useful for drawing maps and overlaying them. I picked up precious topographies : Kanbun Muranura Oboegaki (1672) and Owari Junkoki (1822), Chisekicho (1884) in Owari region, and Gifuken Kakugun Chosonryakushi (1881), Zohoinshuki (1688) in Oki, and Kenchinayosecho (1726) in Yakushima.I could reveal a distinct core-periphery structure in terms of agricultural, economic and demographical factors in Owari region, the evaluation on dry field was much higher than that of paddy field in the wet land of Owari and Mino where shimabata (a dry field surrounded by paddy field) were dominant. I could find out every village engaged in agriculture, fishing, and forestry in Old Island, and enlarging the slash-and-burn field had an important role of growing the population in Yakushima island in the 19^<th> century.I gave a presentation on these results at international conferences : Social Science History Association at Saint Louis (10/2002) and Baltimore (11/2003), USA ; International Conference of Historical Geographers at Auckland (12/2003), NZ and European Social Science History Association at Berlin (3/2004), Germany.
