The purpose of this paper is to investigate the orientation of climatic studies in landscape preservation by clarifying the historical change of the issue before 1970's, when the technological studies diffusely started. From the view point of not only natural environment but also of one as architectural settings, our review of climatic studies revealed as follows. In the ecological and human cultural aspects, climatic studies have conducted the trend of landscape studies on maintenance for environmental control upon land-use. The trend to estimate ecological landscape on living environment in 1940-50's, promoted the climatic studies on potential condition and its function over the topographical structure. Those methods of investigations could be indicated to apply to landscape preservation for architectures and their environmental settings.
