Abstract
This paper presents a method to analyze landscape strutures on rual on terraces-hills. Four typical towns predominated by paddy fields on stopes were selected as research sites in the Bosoh Peninsula. We focused on the natural drainage system as one of the most important factor to understand horizontal linkages among land units. Based on drainage directions calculated from digital clevation models (DEM), relationships between land use patterns and topographic patterns were analyzed. In the result, landscape structures were represented on a schematic landscap model. In the addition of the analysis, we discussed about environmental functions of different landscape structures.
