Description

The purpose of this article is to consider the regional differences in introducing and spreading trasport vehicles during the early Meiji period. Generally speaking, transport vehicles were first introduced into cities and then were spread over the suburban and local areas. In condidering the whole aspect of the diffusion of transport vehicles, we can find two types of areas, that is middle Japan type and type of the rest areas. The former, where quick diffusion of transport vehicles could be seen, is divided into two areas: (1) Tokyo and Osaka type where the spread of vehicles were very fast but soon became slow down, (2) Kochi, Gifu and Mid type where quick and constant spread could be seen. The latter, where introduction of vihicles was seen more slowly is also divided intotwo areas: (1) Yamaguchi and Fukuaka type where the diffusion could be seen particularly after Chino-Jaoanese and Ruso-Japanese wars, (2) Shikoku type where introduction of transport vehicles were the most retarded. I think that these differences is mainly based on such conditions as railroad construction, stages of industrial development, number of population and so on.
