| Research Abstract |
We have compiled two kinds of catalog of town plans on modern Japan. One should be named "a detailed catalog" which is compiled through the investigation of original plans, and contains much information about each plan. The other should be named "a union catalog" which consists of several major libraries' collection of town plan.
By a close inspection of these two catalogs, we could find out following facts : 1)General map/plan was made much more in number than topical map/plan, 2)Topical map/plans made in Modern Japanese cities include i)directory map/plan which shows the location of stores, shops, factories, and some other institutions, ii)cadastral map, iii)residence map, which is typical in Japan, 3)Gifu Prefectural Library has very much extensive collection of modern town plan.
Based on these two catalogs, we made several consideration for the whole Japanese trend, together with two Prefecture's cases ; Hokkaido (by Yamada) and Shimane (by Amano).
Our study develops to the new scope, "town plan as a research material". Kanasaka's paper and Ogata's paper aim at this point.
