Abstract
An original outdoor lighting environment according to the concept of the “walking corridor” in Kaneyama Town was discussed. The landscape lighting which promotes walking without anxiety was proposed and carried out, having expressed characteristic landscape elements and maintaining the continuity of rows of houses. As a result, each landscape element became the landmark and photograph spot in people’s walking, and it enabled their safe walks and breaks. Furthermore, this activity stimulated the residents, and they started to attach lighting fixtures voluntarily. In the future, it is expected that the parks and the residential streets are to be connected seamlessly with lights by such lights being attached also to the surrounding houses.
