Abstract
The purpose of this study is to present the analytical method of the forest network based on nodes and links for landscape and urban planning. For this purpose, Cellular Automata applies to connectivity, and the algorithm of Fowler and Little for analyzing terrain applies to extracting nodes and links of the forest.
Using this method, this study is demonstrated the forests at Maioka and Yoshida in Totsuka Ward in Yokohama City. The results are as follows. 1) It is possible to extract more important pathes of the forest network. 2) This method is more practical to analyze the forest network in detail than other methods.
