By this research, the difference between the organization range and internal structure of their system which were formed in each areas was observed and the survey was carried out, and the following knowledge was obtained : 1) This farming system which based at village includes two functions of fostering the core of farming and coordination between farmland ownership and cultivation.Therefore, it is different if only to deployment direction any one. If it can agree well both functions, there is the merit that accumulation and using of farmland are realized at a stroke. 2) As for a setup of the management scale, it is necessary that grasps pertinently a landowner's present condition and future intention, and to settle on the land use plan and the vision of farming system in the regional agriculture. 3) Supporting the regional farming system not only Farm management bodies, such as an authorization farmer (Nintei, Nougyousya), but part-time farmer and a lived type farmer, and it is thick existence, and agricultural production continues, in order to maintain the farmland's versatile function, it became clear that both mutual reliance and cooperation have been the necessary condition.
