The photo projective method has an advantage over the questionnaire method in terms of its temporal or spatial closeness to subjects and in that the test subjects find it easier to answer the questions. Therefore, this method has been applied to obtain the spatial information of a sightseeing area. However, few attempts have been made at analyzing spatial images of a sightseeing area.
The purpose of this study is to obtain information on a spatial image of a sightseeing area by usingthe photo projective method. For this purpose, weimprove on the original method by incorporating the step of photo data profiling and statistical analysis of these profile data.
In a case study on the Matsue Castle area, as a beginning, we collected 1,922 photos shot by 91visitors and then converted this photo data into profile data by using 20 concepts of spatial imaging.Finally, we categorized the aspects of the landscape by cluster analysis and then clarified the spatial image provided by each landscape type.
