Taking account of the latest elasmo- branch data and preliminary strontium isotope ratio, the age of the formation is confined to the late Late Eocene. The present and recent results show that the First Seto Inland Sea was actually composed of two sea areas that existed at different times: the Paleogene sea area is estimated to have been an open sea facing south to the Pacific Ocean, whereas that in the Miocene is thought to have been an em- bayment connected to the northwest to the Sea of Japan.

    Journal of the Faculty of Environmental Science and Technology, Okayama University Vol.23, No.1, pp.23-48, March 2018 A Transitional Analysis on the Production of Cereals, Beans and Potatoes in Okayama Prefecture Enver Erdinç 'ø1ÇSOY*, Fumikazu ICHIMINAMI** DQG0HOWHP2NXU'ø1ÇSOY*** The contribution of cereals to economies is undoubtedly very important and has many dimensions in terms of use of cultivated areas, agricultural production, nutrition, domestic and foreign trade and national income. In this study, we ex- amined the characteristics of agricultural production in Okayama prefecture from the viewpoint of grain, beans and po- tatoes excluding rice, wheat and barley in the long term. These are undoubtedly supposed to have a certain role in comple- menting the function as the staple food of rice and wheat, etc. Also, according to our literature investigations, researchers have not focused on this context for Okayama Prefecture by not spending enough attention in the past. Therefore, we fo- cus on these subjects in this paper by examining a historical significance. It is observed that some planting area and yield of crops have drastically reduced in Okayama prefecture.

Abstract. Intensive observations of atmospheric activity concentration of 222Rn, concentrations of air pollutants (NO, NO2 and SO2), and of the atmospheric boundary layer were carried out at Kabutonishi Town, Kasaoka City, Okayama Prefecture in Japan. Concentrations of 222Rn at night were lower than those at Akawase and Uchio reported in previous papers. Smaller increases in the concentration of 222Rn at night and slow decreases of the concentration of 222Rn during morning calm could be clearly explained by meteorological observation including Doppler sodar.

  • Tourism Inventory of Okayama Prefecture: an Analysis on Main Sightseeing Spots in Terms of the Number of Tourists
    Journal of the Faculty of Environmental Science and Technology, Okayama University Vol.22, No.1, pp.1-28, March 2017 Tourism Inventory of Okayama Prefecture: An Analysis on Main Sightseeing Spots in terms of the Number of Tourists Fumikazu ICHIMINAMI*, Meltem Okur 'ø1d62< DQG(QYHU Erdinç 'ø1d62< At the early stage of this paper, Okayama prefecture was analyzed by the author focusing on the tendency of main sightseeing-areas based on the number of tourists for three decades (Ichiminami, 2002). In this study, the main sightseeing spots in Okayama pref. are also examined and the developments are explained in a more detailed and updated perspective by extending over current features and the number of tourists. One of the important reasons in a significant increase in tourists in Okayama is the opening of the highways, the bullet train and cross-linking of the Seto Ohashi Bridge. At the same time, there are some waves in the increase or decrease of the tourist trends appearing from several vital developments such as environmental, climatic, social, economic and spatial. In this regard, research objectives of the study are mainly based on investigating and making a comprehensive study on main sightseeing spots in Okayama pref. to find new tourism values and to provide a tourism inventory of Okayama pref. by means of information, data and clues from the field in/between the tourist destinations such as hotel guests, gardens and castles. Therefore, Okayama pref. has a rich potential of historical and cultural heritage in terms of spatial planning and growth. The important point is that the structural adaptation between historical and cultural assets and the city life should be provided and protected for domestic and foreign tourism as much as creating better futures in health tourism, gastronomy tourism, cultural tourism, belief tourism, congress tourism, thematic tourism and local tourism.
