| Research Abstract |
"Yama-ate" is a major aesthetic feature of Castle Towns, referring to the landscaping phenomenon that the crowned mountaintop can be seen from the town's main street; yet, the methods to lay out towns with design intention is hitherto unverified.
This research starts to target several cases of Castle Town and Colonist City, analyzing the actual conditions by executing GIS and GPS mechanism, which contribute high-precision measurement of the landscaping composition, with mathematic values, unbiased and objective.Then, by grasping the characters of the street and the mountain to which the street faces, it sets up a hypothetical study on the design. Namely, how was the main street designed to be the castle town's framework, the flooding control done to renovate rivers and moats, the Key-shaped or bended road planned; and how were the Castle Gate and Shrine or Temples built to fit the Axis. All these questions, in terms of design methods and the intention behind, are to be made manifest.
