| Research Abstract |
This study investigated the process that space where women prostituted themselves after the war was shaped around the U.S. Military base in Okinawa Prefecture and the Mainland of Japan, from the viewpoint of social and historical geography. And, this study explained the reaction and activities of local residents for prostitutes and the military bases. The purpose of this study was almost attained by explaining the process of production of gendered spaces and revealing the various powers reflected in those spaces. We believe that this attempt contributed to the development of feminist geography in Japan by our challenge to reveal the gendered space from the view point of gender and sexuality.
