The aim of this part is to understand the development of Shimousa Plateau more profoundly comparing with that of the Mekong delta under the French colonial state domination. Tokura village was born in 1872 after the Meije gouvernment settled this area with proletariats or unemployed persons from the old Edo. One hundred two households that contained three hundreds forty seven "farmers" settled there in 1871, but in a few years 90% of them dispersed. In contrast the farmers comming from Saitama immigrated in the same area, and thirty eight households, one hundred twenty persons successed to settle down there. They and the neighbors of Tokura were the actual pioneers to clear lands for cultivation. The writer gives more informations on the settlers from Saitama. Their home village, Mitomi, Minamiiriso-district in the north-east Musashino Plateau, was one of the famous clearing land which was developed in Edo period under the direction of a vassal of the head of Kawagoe-Han. The writer detailes the settlers in Tokura cleared the land to cut into the same rectangular farms as their ancestors had done in their native village. They also introduced there to plant tea tree, suger cane, and mulberry that had been cultivated in the native villge. The immigrants from Saitama and the neibours also maintained their original forms of hamlet and the relationships with their mother villages. The reason of their successes was that they could utilize their traditions to develop the Shimousa plateau. After giving a brief summary of the development of rice cultivation in the west Mekong delta at the beginning of the twentieth century, the writer points out some common characteristics of the development between them. At first they were planed by the new governments that challenged to clear up the vast area that had serious troubles to cultivate the soil. The second, the purpose of clearing land was caused by the external factor rather than the internal insentives of immigrants. The third the government efforts failed to relocate landless people to the wastelands, and also to help their lives in the settlement place.}, pages = {97--112}, title = {房総の歴史と下総台地の開拓:メコンデルタ開拓との比較から(3) : [千葉県成田市三里塚周辺地域の社会的・文化的特性に関する実証的研究]}, year = {2004}, yomi = {タカダ, ヨウコ} }
