The purpose of this study is to clarify the features of land use change in the agricultural and residential mixed area after the World War II. The land use change in the Shishibone area in Edogawa Ward, Tokyo, is analyzed by using aerial photographs and residential maps. As a result of the research, the following findings were acquired. First, farmland was most lost between 1960 and 1975, when much farmland was converted to residential or vacant land (parking lots and storage yards). Secondly, in the areas where there were no residential areas as of 1948, many vacant land lots (parking lots and storage yards) appeared after farmland disappeared. In areas where residential areas had already been formed as of 1948, farmland of various area scales has been preserved until today, while housing land has been gradually developed from blocks adjacent to existing housing land. Third, in the area where strong restriction on building coverage to regulate farmland conversion were lifted in 1959, farmland was maintained as a result, contrary to the original planning intent. On the other hand, in the area where the restriction was continued until 1969, a lot of farmland was converted so far.
