A Study on the Actual Condition and Trend of the Activities and Organization of Voluntary Tour Guide by Local Residents

As tourism has been changing in recent years, the new style of guide activity “interpretation” (A means of communicating ideas and feelings that helps people enrich their understanding) is becoming more important. It’s the same in Japan, and many challenges to introduce interpretation as a method of guiding activity can be seen. So we have conducted nationwide surveys about the activities and organization of Voluntary tour guide in local areas, which is recently developing remarkably and has the possibility to make interpretation more popular in Japan. It has become clear that Voluntary tour guide has so much diversity and flexibility in the actual condition of organization and activity, that it has been able to be accepted easily by local residents. Therefore, it can play an important role in providing more opportunities for people to take part in regional development. And from the viewpoint of visitors, it can be said that they should be provided with a range of guide activities, so that their individual needs can be appropriately accommodated. To that point, Voluntary tour guide also has the possibility to create a diversity of guided tour settings in the aspect of contents and charge.

Title A Study on the Pattern of User's Behavior in Shinjyuku Gyoen National Garden Using Handy GPS

Former surveys of the human behavior in the park only focused on the relation between the behavior and the specific areas in the park. But the use of the individual areas seems to contribute less to the image of the park, compared to a series of the use of the whole park. Also, we need many investigators to survey complicated users behavior using conventional investigation method. Although, by using handy GPS, park users tracks can be recorded easily. In summer (2002), autumn (2002), and spring (2003), the survey by handy GPS was carried out in Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. Therefore, in this study I grasped passage areas of users in Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden by using data of this investigation. It was clear that the pattern of

A Study of Forest Landscape Image Structure from Experience and Conceptualized Images

個人の過去の体験・環境・知識といった背景は, 概念化された既成イメージを作り上げ, この既成イメージが新たな環境における知覚とイメージ形成に影響を与えていると考えられる。実験参加者の概念化された森林イメージを, その描画より3つに分類し, アンケート結果より得られた個人背景と組み合わせることでグループごとの特徴を捉えた。その後, 実際に森林を散策した際のイメージ形成構造を, 写真撮影と描画により抽出したところ,(1) 都市の自然に囲まれてきたグループは, 少ない対象を個別に知覚し,(2) 幼少期に森林に親しんだグループは, 多くの対象を結び付けて対象場として知覚し,(3) 最近でも自然に親しんでいるグループは, 主体と結び付けた視点場として知覚していることが明らかになった。

Historic Consideration about Positioning of Scenic Zone before the WW II

The aim of this study is to consider positioning of The Scenic Zone before the Second World War in Tokyo historically. In 1919 Hiroshi Ikeda drafted The Town Planning and Zoning Act, referring to a German counterpart. The Scenic Zone had many purposes before the war. At first, The Scenic Zone played some roles of National Monuments Save Act. Secondly Tokutaro Kitamura estimated cooperation between The Scenic Zone and The Tokyo Park System in advance. At the same time he thought that he applies The Scenic Zone to substitution for parks in the future. In this way, apart from an original purpose, The Scenic Zone was used variously, making up for other systems and plans which are similar to the Scenic Zone System. This reason was based on diversity of definition of The Scenic Zone. But this diversity became ambiguity as time passes. And ambiguity of definition of The Scenic Zone is one of many problems nowadays. In the future how to position The Scenic Zone and how to use it are important.

A Study on the Relationship between Evaluation of Natural View Landscape and Image of Greenery Amount(PAPERS OF THE 19th SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH MEETING)

景観を評価する際に, 日常的に主体を取り巻く環境の相違等がその評価構造に差異をもたらすことが考えられる。本研究では, 主体の日常的な植物等との視覚的な関りの度合いと, 自然眺望景観に対して懐くイメージの評価構造との関連について調べるため, まず各主体が「現在」「過去」の生活域周辺において懐いている緑量 (「緑量のイメージ」) について調べた。次に, 自然眺望景観を対象としてSD法を用いた評価実験を行い,「緑量のイメージ」の多少との関連についての分析を行った。結果として, 実験に用いた一部の評価尺度と, 主体の評価構造を構成する因子軸の寄与の順序, 度合いについて「緑量のイメージ」との関連が示唆された。

A Study on Landscape Shaping Process of Yi-Ho Garden in Bejing and on Influence of West Lake Landscape

The characteristic of use of a play lot built under the Metropolitan Expressway track

Spaces under elevated highway tracks are likely to be given negative images as dark, dirty, and low security spaces. So people tend to stay away from that kind of spaces. Nowadays, people recognize the Metropolitan Expressway (ME) as the negative heritage of rapid economic growth while its underneath spaces are still undeveloped. Therefore, this study tried to make clear the actual condition how people use a play lot built under the ME, on the basis of a survey on existing land use of underneath spaces of the ME along the tracks. Comparing to the ordinary play lot adjacent to the under-ME play lot, play activities were examined by observation, and accesses, frequency of using, staying time and evaluation for the play lot were examined by Questionnaires. As a result, it was observed that a under-ME play lot has some significance as “nitch” spaces where indoors-type activities like card games were remarkable. It can be said that some planning theories dealing with such kinds of usages of play lots or public parks are further needed in highly dense and sterically developed urban environments.

A Study on Influence of Shinobazu-Dori Street by Modern City Planning on City Formation in Bunkyo-Ku, Tokyo

Roads has important role in modern city planning due to as elements of the structure of the city and to comprehend the city for both dwellers and visitors. Although the traditional city planning of Japan has been using the methods that adapted to the conditions of the surroundings topography or history, the concept of modern city planning cannot explain such methods and its advantages enough. This paper aims to study about the influence to the actual city formation that was given by the appearance of the modern city planning and its road development. The study site is Shinobazu-Dori Street in Bunkyo, Tokyo, and its surrounding area which was the edge of Edo in the past until the modernization occurred through The Meiji-Taisho Era. This study used several maps from past to nowadays and the minute proceeding record of the meetings of Tokyo City Improvement Committee. Then this study found two evidences: First, before the concept of the beltway road system, a streetcar played a significant role in development of the modern road as the new transport facility; and the second, the actual influence of road development turned out to be different according to the topographical or historical condition.

A Study on the Historical Change of Landscape Viewpoints Reflected in the Representation of Kaki

Kaki is one of the most familiar fruit trees in Japan and a landscape with kaki tend to be connected with a nostalgic image of an autumn rural landscape. In this respect, a landscape with kaki can be seen as a Japanese “prototype-landscape.” The point we have to focus on here is that common image and feeling about kaki are shared among the Japanese. It is due to our “landscape viewpoints”, a common “way of seeing” shared in a specific social group. This study considers how our landscape viewpoints have been changed by analyzing the representation (waka, haiku and painting) of kaki as an expression of landscape. Kaki might have been one of the most familiar fruits in Japan throughout the history. It was, however, after the latter half of the 17th century, when haiku had been established and spread, that a landscape with kaki started to be expressed positively. This can be explained that our “landscape viewpoints” had been turned from the traditional one, in which waka played the most important part, into the modernized one, through some new cultural activities which began in the Edo era. New landscape discovered by new culture in the Edo era had been combined with rural landscape, and have been regarded as Japanese prototype-landscape.
