The purpose of this study is to investigate theoretically and actually the problems of regionalism from the geographical standpoint. Regionalism has a close relation with the problem of "regional structure", and the basic principles of regionalism is to let the administrative "formal regions" coincide with the scientifically obtaind "substantive regons". The study areas were mainly selected from Yamanashi, Nagano and Fukushima Prefectures which surround the National Capital Region centering on Tokyo.
Using the theories concerning regional structure and regionalism, our studies have been analyzed in the actual fields. The following are the major items of our studies: 1) A comparative study on fruit growing areas in the above mnetioned areas from the view-point of nationwide distribution and situation, 2) analysis of the recent formation of industrial areas and new industrial location systems in Yamanashi Prefecture, especially the fast development of machinery manufacturing drawn from th

In these studies, investigations have been directed toward the location of agricultural and manufacturing businesses, circulation of goods, working population structure of inhabitants, town-country relations, daily population movements, and central functions of cities. Synthesis of these studies seems to have a clue to clarify "regional structure". Less
