本稿では,長野県下伊那郡伊賀良村上殿岡・下殿岡区を事例に,敗戦後の外地引揚者の収容や戦後開拓農民の送出の実態を,戦後農村社会の再出発との関わりで明らかにする。当該区では,多数の外地引揚者が転入する中で,敗戦後の再出発をむかえた。その過程において,既存農村社会の農家の大部分は,所属更生組合内で互いに緊密な耕作地の融通を行いながら,耕作反別と世帯規模のバランス調整を行いつつ,農地改革期を経過した。一方で外地引揚者は,そうした耕作権の融通関係の外におかれ,引揚者の大部分が転入後に再転出するという不十分な収容状況にあった。こうした中で,伊賀良村の公民館報では,満州からの引揚者による在満体験を踏まえた農政・農業経済論が掲載されたのに加え,戦後開拓に関する啓蒙・推奨記事が掲載された。それらを受けて,当該区からは村外へ戦後開拓農民が送り出された。まず既存農家からは,零細農家の挙家離村や農家の傍系世帯員の転出のかたちで開拓農家が送り出された。さらに引揚者からは既存農家の場合を上回る開拓農家が送り出されたのである。

The level and the trends of the per acre yield of wheat in England from the middle ages down to date were ingeniously demonstrated by M. K. Bennett in his article contributed to the Economic History in 1935. But the progress of the study of English economic history since then has rendered some of his conclusions untenable. The writer intends to make necessary modifications of Bennett's curve, the result of which is seen on the chart prited on p. 23.

During World War I, the price of daily necessities rose dramatically in Japan, causing city residents to face many difficulties. Officials in each city established a municipal retail market to ease the burden on citizens and began selling foodstuffs at reasonable prices. However, the municipal retail market in the city of Tokyo (which was the capital and most populated city) was not sufficiently developed. This paper discusses the reasons why the municipal retail market was not sufficiently developed in Tokyo prior to World War II; specifically, (1) the absence of a mayor and resistance of the city council members delayed the establishment of the municipal retail market, (2) shopkeepers strongly opposed the municipal retail market, and (3) the system to operate the municipal retail market was in disarray because of regular interference in municipal administrative affairs by the city council members.

This article will explore the dynamism of indigenous trading systems in Bengal under colonial control through a case study of the grain trade. In 1794 the government attempted to stabilize prices and to prevent famines by establishing state-run grain storehouses, but these policies were unsuccessful. Two major factors contributed to this failure. First, the government had not fully understood the spatial geography of the Bengal grain trade ; second, there was strong resistance to market intervention from native traders. To understand the background factors that led to this failure, we need to examine the operation of the indigenous trading system which was centered on wholesale grain markets, known as ganjs. The ganjs played an important role in linking producing areas and town markets. The traders in ganjs held stores of grain in their granaries, and by using their knowledge, trade experience, information and trading networks, they controlled both prices, and supply and demand. In other words, although the expansion of Company rule brought major changes to the overall economy, indigenous trading systems adapted to the new situation and continued to play a significant economic role.

With the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War in 1937, the Korean National Railways (KNR) was confronted by a serious dilemma. Wartime mobilization required an increase in its transport capacity reinforcement, but the necessary material resources were lacking. To solve this dilemma, KNR reorganized its procurement process and established a labor-intensice railroad operation by means of increasing its operation frequency and train units. However, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, these measures ceased to be effective since KNR suffered from an extreme scarcity of management resources. Ultimately, this led to a transport crisis. After Korea was liberated from colonial Japanese rule in 1945, the Korean staff had to take complete responsibility for the operation of the railway network. But this led to a systematic crisis on top of the product-factor crisis because the Japanese staff who had been in charge of the upper strata of the internal organization had been dismissed and the railway network was divided into north and south. KNR had to develop new strata of Korean executives and set up a new procurement network under the command of the U.S. occupation forces. In conclusion, the operation of KNR by Koreans themselves began with the transition-period experiences which followed the 1945 Liberation.

本論文では前稿における畿内に引き続き,中世西日本における使用升の容積と事実上の標準升を明らかにしようとするものである。升の容積は,農業生産力,土地制度,交易条件などを明らかにするための基本であるが,その重要性は十分に理解されているとはいえない。事実上の標準升を明らかにすることにより,市場の統合過程をよりよく理解することができるであろう。15世紀,西日本のうち西部地域では讃岐斗が標準升であり,東部地域では売升が市場升として使われていたが,同時に畿内本斗も標準的に使われていた。畿内本斗は讃岐斗とほとんど同じ容積であったので,西日本及び畿内において事実上の標準升が存在した。16世紀,売升は隣接地域に拡大し,標準升となったが,16世紀末になると西日本及び畿内では畿内本斗または讃岐斗が再び標準升となった。これは政治的統合に起因して市場統合がなされたことによるものと考えられる。

The 73rd annual meeting of the Socio-Economic History Society was held at Osaka City University on May 29 and 30, 2004. The general session was organized by Mario OSHIMA under the title shown above. The speakers took different approaches from those adopted in Japan so far to describe early modern economic history. They focused their views on the scarcity of land used for agriculture as a factor existing nearly everywhere in the world during this era. Industrious revolution, the term coined by Akira HAYAMI three decades ago, can be understood as farmers' efforts to overcome this resource constraint in rural Japan during the 18th and 19th centuries. Atsushi AOKI presented detailed research on four-character words representing land scarcity in formal Chinese histories and agricultural advisory documents issued by local governments, finding the constraint intensified already in the 11th and 12th centuries. Akihiko ETO presented evidence showing that 17th-century Japan still had land available for rice cultivation, which was much needed because of the big spurt of castle-town construction and the development of silver/gold mines aimed at obtaining foreign exchange; however, the country faced resource constraints during the latter half of the century. Takashi IIDA, basing his detailed study on Mark Brandenburg, pointed out that the sharp division between the full farmer class and cottagers in 18th-century eastern Elbe, Germany, intensified as population and agricultural production grew. Tsuneyuki DOHI and Atsuko OHASHI presented comments from the Russian and East Asian perspectives, respectively.

本稿では,戦間期の熱海温泉を事例に,地域社会が自然条件の変化や利用客増加に対応して,再生可能な資源である源泉の維持管理をどのように行ってきたのか,規制主体である行政機構の温泉政策との関わりに着目しながら,その歴史的変化を明らかにした。財産区によって秩序づけられていた熱海温泉の源泉利用は,利用客の急増,源泉の枯渇といった事態から源泉統一が早急に必要とされ,町行政が共同管理の担い手となった。町行政が中心部の源泉を一手に管理し,加えて独占的に開発を行うことで湧出量を増加させ,同時に配給事業を行ったのである。この町有温泉の機能は主に3点あげられる。第1に源泉の無駄遣いを排し,効率的な源泉利用を可能としたこと,第2に利用上のリスクを回避することで,源泉利用の安定をもたらしたこと,第3に「開かれた源泉利用」を実現し,多くの住民が源泉を利用できるようになったことである。熱海温泉は,行政機構の政策,規則を背景に,町有温泉が地域社会の源泉利用を調整し,限られた資源を有効利用することで,その後の発展を可能にすることができた。

The urban graveyard theory has emphasized that mortality is higher in urban than in rural areas. Osamu SAITO has reviewed research on urban and rural mortality in Tokugawa Japan (1603〜1867), and concludes that the theory has not yet been confirmed but seems likely if Farr's law is applied. This conclusion seems to have been widely accepted. In this paper, I examine whether it is reasonable to conclude that the urban mortality rate was high by using the data for 1883 to test whether Farr's law holds in the Japanese case. The results of my analysis are as follows: First, the mortality rate depends on the distributional patterns of population density in urban areas. Second, Farr's law should only hold for areas with similar patterns. Third, since urban areas in Japan showed various patterns at the beginning of the Meiji period (1868〜1912), only large areas with similar patterns follow Farr's law. Fourth, the existence of the different patterns should lead us to expect a wider range of urban mortality.
