 note = {In order to elucidate the core-periphery structure and the central-place hierarchy in Owari region in relation to the transport grid and the political economy, and to explore the pattern of spatial differentiation at the village level, I analyze the local gazetters: Kanbun-Muramura-Oboegaki(1672) and Owari-Junkoki(1822). Viewing Owari region through the central place theory, the towns of administrative centers were positioned based on considerations and economic centers such as market towns and post towns were located on the main roads. Most of the terminuses to which travelers from each village traveled can be treated as a kind of central place. These corresponded economic centers, not to the administrative centers as well as those functioned as sea port had lost their cenreal places were quite different in accordance with the functions of them. That is to say, the central places which were specialized as post towns had the oval shaped territories, while those that had multiple functions exhibited hexagonal territories. In the hierarchical regional space of Owari, we can obtain the tendency that population per village increase as one moves from far periphery and the rims to inner core and the nodes, the rate of population growth is low in the inner core and the nodes as against high in the periphery and the rims, and the number of horses increases from inner core and rim to far periphery and node.},
