| Research Abstract |
(1) Geographic Information Systems and governmental databases such as Basic Geo-spatial Information and Rural Community Statistics are effective to analyze the spatial location of crop-production centers in Hokkaido. (2) Five agricultural regions are expected by examining the energy efficiency of agriculture in Hokkaido, i.e., "Tokachi-Okhotsk", "Central Hokkaido and Hiyama", "Southwestern Hokkaido", "Hidaka", "Soya, Kushiro and Nemuro". (3) Based on the fieldwork in wheat-production centers, three points were noted for the continuation of the crop producing center, i.e., "promotion of commodification and branding of agricultural products", "allocation of the subsidy that takes into account the condition of wheat production centers in foreign countries", and introduction of agricultural machinery corresponding with extensive and large-scale cultivation".
