Abstract
A continuous green space unit is generated by the forming of a buffer in "Shasoh" and the surrounding green space. Also, the geographical index data is used by making 4 indexes; elevation, inclination, Laplacian, and opening, through an analysis of DEM. As a result of analyzing the relationship between the continuous green space unit and the geographical index data, it became clear that the characteristic of "Shasoh" with high burden sharing is that they are located in a transformed and steep land or transformed and opened land. This geographical characteristic shows that "Shasoh" is built in a significant place in terms of landscape. The space of shrine forests becomes the standard in the region, and a unit is formed along the geographical among other green space.
