Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study established a fieldwork methodology for naturally planned historical urban spaces in Bhaktapur, Nepal. The study identified the surviving status and original appearance of the historical landscape. A group of dwelling units with old and important landscapes was referred to as a "townscape prototype" in this study. The entire city was classified into several community levels from large to small areal extents, and finally, it was clarified that the actual formation of the townscape prototypes started from the courtyard-type dwellings as the core. The large number of these prototypes are found in the eastern part of the city, whereas there are few of them in the western part, which was later expansion.
This study also includes structural and material/construction studies; we continue to monitor the reconstruction from the 2015 earthquake, as well as clarify the seismic performance of urban dwellings, especially considering the condition of having adjacent buildings.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

学術的意義は、歴史資料が乏しいアジアの歴史都市の都市空間形成史を、現状調査のみで解明する研究手法を確立したことである。特にネパールの歴史都市で、歴史的景観を形成する住戸群を特定できた。
社会的意義は、まず、2015年ゴルカ・ネパール地震によって大きな被害を受けた歴史的市街地の再建に向けて、ネパールの都市をかたちづくる原型的な近隣空間構成を特定したことにある。一方で、継続的に復興再建状況を記録し、都市型住居や景観の変化にも留意してきた。工学的には、地震被害を受けた伝統工法による都市型住居の耐震性能を明らかにした。完全倒壊住居の再建や部分倒壊住居の修繕への知見となるものである。
