| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Setting the Tohoku region as a research laboratory, Yoshio Watanabe wrote many papers concerning central place system in the 1950s through the later 1960s, which resulted in a typology of central place system based on topography. The originality of his central place studies is summarized as follows: 1) he contrived simple and fully worked-out methods to classify central functions skillfully using (triangle) section paper; 2) he suggested that as a causal factor to form the central place system in the Tohoku region, the social relationship between urban settlement and rural area in the feudal system was more effective than the economic principle on which central place theory was based.
