Abstract
This thesis clarifies the generating process of landscape in the view point of self-organization in a case of commercial district through the case of Shibaura area in Tokyo. The spatial changes during 1982 to 1997 were clarified by classifying the characteristics of each commercial facility in the survey area by referring to the old maps, regional historical materials and geographical survey. Also, the thesis analyzes the changes of landscape interpretations which were then clarified in reference to descriptions of periodicals. As a conclusion by compairing these 2 results, these changes are explained through the concrete examples as a result of an intereffect between the space itself and an interpretation which has occured by means of their heterogenious characters.
