Abstract
Now, in the city, a form of the ecological network of habits is important. However there are few investigations on linear spaces which consist of the ecological network of habits, and its investigation place concentrate large scale rivers in the suburbs. Therefore this study was intended to clarify the ecological situation of habits in linear space by the bird investigation and land condition in the lake Biwa canal in Kyoto. As a result, it was clear that the urban birds and the forest urban birds ware distributed along the canal in succession densely and the water birds using the canal as their habitat were distributed along it. But the forest birds didn't use the canal as a ecological corridor because they were concentrated on woodland. At an area on the canal in the neighborhood of woodland which was sandwiched houses, we found the forest birds. We thought its condition can be used to later ecological corridor trim.
