Social surveys were conducted at twelve locations of different distances from the coasts in Hyogo prefecture and the middle of Kinki district. Images of the sea and sea affairs were measured by the semantic differential method to investigate relations between the distances and the images. The subjects were 3303 junior and senior high school students (1708 males and 1595 females) and their parents. Three factors were extracted using principal factor analysis and promax rotation: for images of the sea and ships, dynamism, affective evaluation and mental closeness; for images of seamen, dynamism, affective evaluation and professional evaluation of seafarers. Profiles by factor scores were classified into three patterns reflecting geographical characteristics. Two clusters of seaside and mountain districts were obtained by cluster analysis.
