明治22年 (1889) の町村合併で誕生した新町村の名称について,茨城・埼玉など15府県の4,041町村を対象に検討を加えた.新町村名を, A (歴史的広域名称), B (中心地名称), C (合成名称), D (並列名称), E (自然名称), F (社寺名称), G (歴史遺跡名称), H (地形名称), I (狭域名称), J (人為名称)などに類型区分すると, Aが1,277町村で全体の31.6%を占めて第1位であり, Bが1,089町村でこれにっいでいる.以下, J・C・Eの順となり,これら5類型で3,567町村を数え,全体の88.3%に達する.これを府県別にこまかくみると,かなり多彩な特色が認められる.滋賀県は郷・庄名の継承を優先したためAの比率がきわめて高く,福岡県もAおよびBに重点をおいたので,この両県では歴史と伝統に恵まれた新町村名が選定された.これに対して, Cが高率である広島県とJが異常に多い千葉県は,新町村名の選定に関するかぎり,問題の多いケースといえる.

It is usually said that modern administrative towns and villages of Japan were brought into existence by the amalgamation of towns and villages in the 22nd year of Meiji (1889). But, by that time, the local government system had already undergone a great change and the division or amalgamation of towns and villages had been carried out on a large scale, little of which is known to the general public. If we treat this fact lightly, we will be apt to have a wrong opinion that hanseison (feudal village in Tokugawa Era) means oaza. But the fact is, this mistaken idea seems to be widespread among many geographers even now.In this paper, the author trys to clarify this division or amalgamation of towns and villages in the early Meiji period quantitatively. Moreover, he demonstrates the following facts: in Yamanashi and Nagano prefectures (esp. the former Chikuma Prefecture) in which there were many cases where oaza was larger than hanseison, but on the other hand in the Kinki District, there existed a few cases where hanseison was larger than oaza.From the seventh to the nineth year of Meiji, through both Yamanashi and Nagano prefectures, the amalgamation of towns and villages was enforced. After that, each of the former villages was called “Kumi” in Yamanashi Prefecture and “Kochi” in Nagano Prefecture. Though new administrative towns and villages were born in the amalgamation, yet in reality “Kumi” or “Kochi” formed a rural community, and the rural community, as usual, managed irrigation, communal forests, village festivals and so on. In this paper, the author takes up Toyoshina-Gun in Nagano Prefecture and Fujimi-Gun in Yamanashi Prefecture as samples of rural community, and analyze their structure closely.
