The purpose of the study is to select the villages which were planned and established in the Ryukyu Islands during the early modern period and to clarify the spatial composition of the villages by classifying the configuration based on the conditions of topographic location. Villages planned and established during the early modern period will be selected from the preceding studies and literatures. The landscape of the prewar villages will be reproduced and analyzed, and the spatial configuration of the villages will be classified with the locations selected based on the characteristics and configuration.
The spatial composition of each village will then be clarified by analyzing the characteristics of the villages classified.
