Conservation of coppice in urban fringe area is an important factor to secure the amenity of such area. But as sites and surroundings of those coppices are extremely complexed, detailed studies on its existence and decreasing process are indispensable. In this study, we first examined the existence of coppice by investigating its distribution, surrounding land use and geographical features of its site. And through this examination we extracted 4 existing types. Second, as a main part of this study, we examined the decreasing process of coppice by investigating same factors as above, and extracted 2 decreasing types.
