| Research Abstract |
This study is to make clear the regional structure of Manchurian area in the beginning half of the 20th Century, based on the documents of regional studies by the students of the Toa-Dobun Shoin College.
In the beginning of this century, forests and grassland were prominent in this area. However, change was occurred by the new penetration of railway through the northern past of Manchurian area, and more new railways connecting to this railway passing through the middle and southern areas of Manchuria. A lot of Chinese migrant workers flowed into this area to get their jobs mainly relating to the railways construction and cultivation.
And new comers of merchants and businessmen from Russia, China and Japan concentrated to the main nodal points of these railways and formed local urban-rural areas. These phases were original and basic structure of Manchurian area until 1920s.
