本稿では,神戸市灘区の水道筋商店街を事例に,大都市圏中心都市における地域型商店街をとりまく環境の変化を捉えたうえで,商店街の店舗構成の変化を明らかにした。水道筋商店街は,近隣地区の人口と世帯数が2000年以降に増加傾向にあり,現在も約300の店舗等が立地し,商店街を通行する者の数も多い。しかし,周辺地区に大型店の立地が進んだこともあり,水道筋商店街の年間商品販売額は1991年をピークに減少を続けている。こうした状況下,水道筋商店街では機能変化と地区間格差の拡大が進んできた。具体的に,機能変化としては,対個人サービス店および飲食店の店舗数が増加する一方で,買回品店および専門店などの店舗数の減少が確認された。また,地区間格差の拡大については,地区間での空き店舗率の差の拡大,チェーン店の出店状況の違いが確認された。水道筋商店街は近年,対個人サービス店および飲食店の店舗数の増加に加え,集客力のある食料品中心のスーパー,さらにドラッグストアなど新たなチェーン店が立地するようになった。その結果,多くの地域住民が水道筋商店街で最寄品を日常的に購入する傾向が強まり,集客力を維持していることから,政府からも成功した商店街として高い評価を受けるようになった。すなわち水道筋商店街は,地域型商店街から近隣型商店街へとその性格を変化させることで,衰退を免れ,現在も存続しているとみることができる。

Since islands of Okinawa was incorporated into Japan, many Okinawan people have been in a little difficult position. For example, the migrants from Okinawa in the cities of mainland Japan (Hondo) were often discriminated in the employment opportunities. And because islands of Okinawa was ruined in World War II, many Okinawan migrants were left in the mainland, and they had to live in the postwar severe situation. In this paper, I will examine the urban lives of Okinawan migrants in Hyogo prefecture (especially postwar Amagasaki, Takaradsuka, Itami and Kobe city) and their various forms of networks, groups and places to live in and to resist oppressed situation. The association of people from Okinawa prefecture (Okinawa-Kenjinkai-Hyogoken-Honbu) was one of the most cohesive group, it was made by `Okinawa' as a social category and as a symbol of concentration for some social and political purposes. In Amagasaki and Takaradsuka city, these cohesions like Kenjinkai had made it possible for some assemblymen who were native of Okinawa to win the local elections, for example. When the people who lived in the concentrated areas had some political purposes, these areas became the cohesive places to resist their opponents. But these cohesions were ad hoc. Because each migrants lived in different geographical and social context, their each individual living strategies and tactics were complicated, and each migrants had extended their own personal networks which included neighbors who were not native of Okinawa. So even in their concentrated areas, their individual social and political senses were not always in unison. Okinawan migrants had become urbanites in urban settings. It is said that discrimination in the employment opportunities was to some extent eased in the high-growth period, so their lives have changed for the better. And the main role of Kenjinkai have become enhancing mutual friendship.

In recent years, organized landscape conservation has increased in rural Japan, and it has often been conducted by means of subsidies, tight rules and management activities in small special areas. However, in the other general rural areas, it is more than probable that the situation of surviving traditional elements is considerably different. The purposes of this paper are; 1) to clarify how nanbu-magariya, traditional L-shaped rural houses in Iwate Prefecture, northern Japan, have survived in the area of Tohno City, which once had many magariya and now has no organized conservation for them, and 2) to examine how the case of nanbu-magariya in Tohno has corresponded to the general trend for recognizing traditional elements as regional resources. The results were as follows : 1) There are 79 surviving magariya in Tohno. They consist of two types; 'left type', which has just been used as storage for decades after building new residential houses in the neighborhood, and 'inherited type', which has been used continuously as a residential house. The former has deteriorated seriously. 2) Magariya have survived due to the relative financial difficulties of the owners, as well as the affirmative consciousness for their life in the magariya. 3) Most of the magariya have been maintained by the residents who wish to continue to live with improved living conditions. Several residents have tried to maintain the thatched roofs, in spite of the difficulty of obtaining thatch and thatchers. 4) Several inherited cases of magariya were detected besides the residential survival. Many of them had been moved from the original places to be preserved and used for tourism. Moreover, several new residential houses that imitated the style of magariya have been built as a result of the owner's nostalgia. These inherited cases have appeared through the understanding of magariya as regional symbolic resources. The 'image of the region' without the substantial 'tradition' forms the landscape of present Tohno, while real residential magariya are on the verge of disappearance.

We are inclined to consider that we should be able to plan out an unrestrained program of the readjustment of the arable land in many lagoons beside the coastal plains in Japan because they have few existing conditions, newly-developed, as compared with the general alluvial plains. In the present study as a preparatory work to the regional examination of the methods of readjusting the arable land in Japan, I took up the example of the lagoon land improvement section in Chiba Prefecture (Tsubakiumi Drained Reclamation Land) as a studying object, and studied how for the methods of readjusting the arable land has been determined by the natural, social and economic conditions in the lagoon. Consequently I pointed out that the methods of readjustment in this area have not necessarily been determined by the shortcoming of the draining function of the Shinkawa River as the draining river of the lagoon, but by the poor waterway function of the Otone Irrigation Water as the reservoir in this area. Therefore the methods of readjustment of the arable land, which should be naturally determined by the choice of the system of farm management by the farmers, must have been temporizing ones.
