Outline of Final Research Achievements

n this research, the historical landscape of a historic port city is studied restoratively using geodesic analysis and GIS.Specific subjects are Onomichi City and Tomonoura in Fukuyama City in Hiroshima Prefecture and Kitsuki City in Oita Prefecture and Shimonoseki City in Yamaguchi Prefecture.By actually measuring the road width of the urban area in each city and the scale of the block,Estimated the time of construction, depending on which one of the dimensions which had historically diminished from 7 to 6 shaku(about 30cm).On that basis, I entered the character of the block and the site into GIS software and searched for the factor of transition.After the modernization site division was found to be due to taxation of land for uses other than residential land, it turned out that it did not involve major changes in the landscape.
