Abstract
In recent years, the evaluation of historical landscapes has become important in order to create local appeal and affection. Until now, the general approach was to evaluate the historical value of the buildings themselves, but sometimes the spatial structure of a settlement itself can create a historical landscape. However, this spatial structure is easily lost due to reconstruction or legal regulations, and is a valuable element that cannot be reproduced. This study focuses on such historical landscapes as spatial structures and aims to compare how working adults and university students visiting from outside the region evaluate the landscape that we want to preserve in the old town of Kisabe in Katano City, an area where historical townscapes and valuable landscapes remain, such as the Kisabe Castle ruins and the Kitada family residence, and to clarify the appeal and characteristics that only outsiders can notice.
