The author believes that it is essential to establish a new model of geographical terminology in order to develop a theory of geographical systems. In this paper he has listed all the terms which compose the titles and summaries of papers in four major geographical journals, and he has examined whether these terms can become fundamental data for compiling a systematic list of geographical terms in Japanese.He has used a data-base named “CHIRI” which was constructed by him from 552 cases recorded in the four journals published between 1985-1990. Operating a specific computer program, he made five lists of terms out of titles and summaries of all the papers. These lists contain over ten thousand terms which consist not only of geographical terms but of terms also from other fields. They were compared with the terms in the index of “A Dictionary of Geography” (revised edition, Ninomiya-shoten, 1989).It has become clear that they are useful in making a systematic list of geographical terms in Japanese, and in particular the lists consisting of compound nouns are not only very useful for this purpose but are invaluable for showing the latest trends in geography. Note:1) “Geographical Review of Japan”, “The Human Geography”, “Annals of the Tohoku Geographical Association”, “Geographical Sciences”.
