Abstract
For preserving the farmlands at the metropolitan fringe, the evaluation according to their landscaping value is important. To grasp the agricultural landscape in detail, the analysis which has considered the actual landscapes seen by people is required. So this study aims to clarify the characteristic of the boundary lines between the farmlands and the neighboring land-uses which has been generated by the farmland-diversion to other land-use. As the results, the following things become clear. There are several boundary lines classified by their generation-ages. The combinations of the land-uses which adjoin the farmlands characterize the agricultural landscapes in each area. And, the function which provides the viewpoint has little relation to the farmland-area. By adding the analysis of the boundary lines to the analysis of the farmland-area, the landscaping value can be grasped in detail.
