Abstract
We propose a new type of gauge in two-dimensional quantum gravity. We investigate pure gravity in this gauge, and find that the system reduces to quantum mechanics of loop length . Furthermore, we rederive the string field theory which was discovered recently. In particular, the pregeometric form of the Hamiltonian is naturally reproduced.
