Research Abstract	1.I propose a classfication of rural road functions of roads found in rural road network. A classfication is the following. (1) Link I : A main role of these roads is access function leading from the cultiveted fields to agricultural facilities and from one farmhause to another farmhause. (2) Link III : A main role of these roads is traffic function connecting several zones and leading to the Node III (the destination market, terminal, container base). (3) Link II : A role of these roads is mid-function between Link I and Link III. 2.On the basic of the person trip survey in Fukagawa district, the rural roads were classified 3 Links and every Links were organized under the rural road network. 3.For agricultutal products transportation, when the sharing rate of transportation facilities for a transported item is decited, the location of Node II to be accessed is selected and Link III is concequently decided.
