Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aims to clarify the spatial form of the small castle town. As a result, the following three points were pointed out. The first, by a statistical analysis on the old drawingｓ, it was confirmed that there is no correlation between residential area of warriors or of general citizen and scale of territory. The second, on comparative analysis of historical documents and the real states, the townscape of Koromo City,the case of small castle town, consisted of mostly straw roof buildings and some timber roof buildings. The third, the height and form of townhouse in Edo Period was followed until the first half in Meiji Period.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

従来は明らかではなかった小規模城下町の空間的実態を事例的ではあるが復元的に解明した。瓦葺きの町家が建ち並ぶ町並の状況が、必ずしも近世の城下町で普遍的なものではないことが確認されたといえる。小規模城下町では町並の実態は多様であり、それが都市的な性格の差異によるものであることが示唆された。また江戸時代における城下町の規模の大小による差異、時代的な動態の把握も今後の重要な課題であることが明らかとなった。
