Abstract
This study aims to research the relation of human and natural environment on Ainu place-names in Hokkaido.<br>The place-name has been chosen from Ainu place-names in Hokkaido that expresses natural environment. There are place-names about cliff, scarp, landslide, plain, marsh, river, ravine and their modifier. Almost 2, 300 of 2, 900 place-names are related to river and ravine.<br>Place-name of “pet” is distributed more around the river on the coast from Shiretoko to Muroran. It is affected by Ainu at Kuril. Oppositely, place-name of “nay” is distributed more on the northern Hokkaido. Place-names “pet” and “nay” are little in Osima Peninsular. This is affected by Japanese from Honshu. Diversity of place-names “pet” and “nay” are indicated in distribution along Tokachi River and Tesio River.<br>Place-name is composed of stem and modifier. Stem expresses a common environment and characteristic modifier shows the place-name on a point. The place-name reflectsd the life style of Ainu people, who have lived with nature.<br>Therefore, further research of the relation between Ainu place-names and natural environment is needed.
