The purpose of this study is to explore the formation and building process of coal-mining settlements, through case studies of 3 middle-class mining industries. They were similar in production level, although their capital scales and management policies varied. Normally, mining settlements locate in remote areas, whereas it located near existing residential areas and farmlands for a locally owned mine. In terms of growing rates, mines and their settlements with large capital drastically expanded during the war and post-war period, and did not experience constant growth. In contrast, small mining communities grew constantly over the periods. This indicates that national policies affected larger mines much stronger. Residential structures in mining communities had been rather temporal, and become more permanent after early Showa period. At this point, settlements distribution patterns were formed. In all 3 case studies, there were upscale facilities and housing supplies for most employees. The distribution patterns were deeply related with personnel management policies.
