SPACIAL STRUCTURE AND CHANGE IN TONDENHEI-MURA(Rural Planning)

Abstract

When we review the modern settlements in Hokkaido began in Meiji Era, Tondenhei-muras are considered to be composing the first among the layers of developments. By the method of overlay mapping analysis with fiald survey and reference of documents, we succeed to reveal the character of spacial structure of Tondenhei-mura and evaluate how it worked up and change to now. The character can be described of the composition of territorial orders of land use, oriented by the axis with the careful setting of central zone, creating spiritual symbol as a Shinto shrine, preparing visibility of proper domain.
