I studied the outline of the land cultivation in Hiroshima Prefecture afte Edo era by the several maps. The first map: Formation of the new settlement. The second map: Increase of the cultivated land from 1619 to 1820. The third map: Increase of the cultivated land from 1820 to 1921. The forth map: Increase of the cultivated land from 1921 to 1947. The fifth map: Increase of population from 1711 to 1816 (eastern part of Hiroshima Prefecture). The sixth map: Increase of population from 1816 (or 1820) to 1888. The seventh map: Increase of population from 1888 to 1920.By these maps I could have got the following conclusion.1. The new settlements developed after Edo era are distributed in the seashore and islands districts.2. The cultivated lands increased on the seashore district in Edo era and in the islands district in Meiji era.3. Before population had increased running with increase of cultivated lands, but recently its increase has been caused by the development of commerce and industry, and the development of cities. That is, development of economic system in Japan has caused the population movement. However, after the War-termination especially, population increase is found in those areas where the cultivated land has increased.
