Research on the sections and their facilities belonged to ancient local government offices especially belonged to provincial and county government offices

古代日本的立社制度的地方政府办公室通常有几个部门来履行其日常职能。这些路段或其设施配得上“走市”的称号。最近的发掘发现，部分“走石”担负着必需品和储存物资的职责，另一部分“走石”包括车间或住宿和餐饮设施的作用。每个走市的建筑区域通常以栅栏或沟渠隔开，这些建筑是系统地排列的。属于省级政府机关或属于县级政府机关的“走师”的安排分为两种类型。一种是“走市”的几个部分系统地围绕着主要的政治街区，另一种是“走市”的各个部分分别围绕着主要的政治街区进行布置，其中一些部分往往位于远离地方政府办公中心的地方。前一种类型类似于中央宫殿的走师。但后一种形式意味着地方机关的“走师”没有像中央机关那样组织起来。从8世纪中叶开始，省府官员的走市扩建了这些设施，并显示出完工的趋势。这一趋势是省级政府机关职能细分的表现，表明省级政府机关主导地位的增强。

Local government offices of the Ritsuryou system in ancient Japan had generally several sections to fullfil it's daily function. Thease sections or their facilities deserve the name of ZOUSHI.Recent excavations have revealed that a part of ZOUSHI performed a duty to requisite and store of supplies, and another part of ZOUSHI included a role of workshop or accomodations and dining facilities.Each ZOUSHI's building area was usually endoused by fences or divided by ditchs, and those buildings were arranged systematically.The arrengement of ZOUSHI belonged to provincial government offices or belonged to county government offices is divided into two types. One is a case that several parts of ZOUSHI surrounded the main political block systematically, the other is a case that each part of ZOUSHI was arranged around the main political block separately and often some parts of them were situated far from the center of local government offices. The former type is like that of central palace's ZOUSHI. But the latter type means that ZOUSHI of local government offices was not so organaized as the central government organization.The provincial government official's ZOUSHI expanded the facilities from the middle of the 8th century, and indicates a tendency to be completed. This tendency is an evidence of functional subdivisions in provincial government offices, and indicates the strengthened domination by provincial government offices.
