| Research Abstract |
This study empirically clarifies differences in households' and persons' folk classification knowledge of settlement space such as minor place names, agricultural plot names, and orientations within Japanese villages. These differences are clarified based on an analysis of each household's economic class and each person's gender. The author also re-examines the common viewpoints of humanistic geography, which can lead to a theoretical basis for studies on spatial folk classification within villages both inside and outside Japan.
