This study has been made to analyze and explain the status of transportation, both railroad and road, of the Chûgoku District, Western Honshû, primarily based on seven maps which have been made by the author. The seven maps are as follows: Volume of Railroad Freights Transported (Map 1), Volume of Railroad Freights Shipped Out by Stations (Map 2), Volume of Railroad Freights Shipped In by Stations (Map 3), Number of Railroad Passengers Transported (Map 4), Traffic Volume of Automobiles (Map 5), Traffic Communities Established by Railroad Passengers (Map 6), Traffic Communities Established by Automobile Traffic (Map 7).Map 7 shows the Chûgoku District divided into some 100 first-order traffic communities of a small size. These first-order traffic communities form in the aggregate seventeen second-order traffic communities focused on the local central cities. The seventeen second-order traffic communities are included in turn in the four larger traffic communities of third-order each being centered on Hiroshima, Shimonoseki, Hamada, and Matsue. Since the traffic communities established by automobile traffic make a considerable contrast to those by railroad transportation, the author wishes to establish a more thoroughly comprehensive hierarchical network of transportation by considering both railroad and road transportations simultaneously.
