The character of Nakanoshima, Osaka, based on water and green landscape

Abstract

　The aim of this study was to investigate the character of Nakanoshima through an evaluation of the landscape from the perspective of water and greenery. First, 1,804 photos are taken on October 2021. Next, the photos were classified into the stream axis river-view and the opposite shore river-view, and analyzed them by inside and outside of Nakanoshima. And the composition of the landscape was evaluated by combining the appearance forms of water and green. As a result, it was found that in the stream axis view, in addition to the view with perspective emphasis by water and green on both sides, the floor surface and the banded water surface accentuate the greenery as a background, and in the opposite shore view, the superimposed landscape of water and green and the enclosed landscape where the water surface is emphasized by the green support the character of Nakanoshima.
