| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this research is to examine the applicability of geographical approaches to the studies of modern river and land transportation. By using Historical Geographic Information System (HGIS) as a tool for more accurate analyses, therefore, this thesis investigates how the river and land transportation in the Yodo River Basin and Tone River Basin changed from the middle Meiji era to the early Showa era. The study reveals its changes by analyzing spatiotemporal distribution of ships, river ports, roads, rails and regional differences in terms of prosperity and decline.
In conclusion, this research could elucidate the prosperity and decline of the river and land transportation in the Yodo River Basin and Tone River Basin in the modern times, as well as proves the validity of HGIS approaches to its studies.
