Outline of Final Research Achievements

Our research group has already confirmed through the research so far, that in the castle town city and the Hokkaido colonial city, the city form respect to the view of the surrounding mountains, have particular characteristics. In this research, we conducted precise measurements using a geographic information system and GPS, and elucidated the traditional urban design method by numerical analysis. In other words, I revealed the relation of urban form to the geographical condition including the flow of river and the height of land. On the castle town cities, an accurate map at the end of the Edo period is prepared to analyze various traditional urban designs including various landscape axes.
In addition, by questionnaire to local governments, the results clarified by the above research are adapted to the city design such as recent urban landscape plan in some advanced cities.
In addition, we created a database that organizes these pieces of information on a geographic information system.
