Abstract

In this paper, we analyze and classify the spatial structures of 43 historic towns in Boso(Chiba) based on the theory of "Qing Wu Jing", and then shaw that about 90% of their spatial structures can be interpreted by Feng-Shui. In other words, it means that the five elements of geographical environment of the region is keyed to select a settlement site. The result is that Feng-Shui will have to be reestimated and its idea as a method in site planning is coniderably a reasonable theory even in the present time.
