| Research Abstract |
Since 1995, there has risen the local residents' campaign which ask the reduction and transference of American military bases demanded by the Japan-U.S. security treaty system in Okinawa Pref.. The most important issue was the problem of transference of Futenma air field in Ginowan city to other Okinawa district. Ginowan city is the strategic base for the regional development of Okinawa planned by prefectual government. Futenma is the nuclear naval base of U.S. army and is dangerous base because of its location in the urban milieu of Ginowan city.

Regional development was strongly desired by all residents of all regions in Okinawa. Moreover, there are various regions with various characteristic owing to natural and historical differences.
