| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to clarify the characteristics of precincts of shrines and temples distributed in urban area from viewpoint of form, function and cognition.
We investigated the history of precincts of shrines and temples from Edo period to now, then elucidated the types of behaviors and the length of stay in shrines and temples analyzing the results of the survey in Tokyo. We also examined the difference of cognition between shrines and temples.
We analyzed spatial pattern of precincts of shrines and temples to clarify their role as green open space. Original polygon data is made based on digitalized ANSEI 3rd(1856) Map and digital map of cities. Based on these data, area size, distribution pattern and morphological characteristics of precincts are compared among Edo, the present Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. The possibility of present precincts as green open spaces was examined. The results show : (1)Temples maintain cluster-type distribution from Edo to the present Tokyo, also in Osaka and Kyoto ; (2)Both shrines and temples have higher green coverage ratios than average ratio of Tokyo 23 wards area ; and (3)Although each size of shrines and temples is smaller than an ordinary park, scattered precincts make green open spaces closer for urban residents.
