Outline of Final Research Achievements	Technoscapes: industrial landscapes formed in industrial cities are expected to be local unique landscape, or the new resource of tourism. Japan, one of the most industrialized countries in the world, possesses plenty of characteristic technoscape, and some are expected to be potentially precious local heritage. On the other hand, research in this field is yet to be well discussed. This research attempts to survey the case studies of technoscapes which have obtained the values as respectable local landscapes. In addition, the process of landscape generation and significance as resources of tourism will be manifested.
