Abstract
This paper describes the results of the analyzed characteristics: 1. The result of corelational analysis on the composed surface ratio (%) and on environmental factors was 14/121 (P<.05). 2. The ratio (evergreen/deciduous:%) is not governed by such specific factors as temperature or snowfall only, but is also affected by the integrated environment of those factors. 3. Regarding the interval dispersion of stones in the gardens (number of stone:%), water (area of pond:%), and trees (number of tree:%), they can be classified into three groups:(1) Large, or less than 1, 000 square meters in garden area and designed: middle, or somewhere between large and small, with characteristics of both large and small: and small, with more than 3, 000 square meters in garden area and formal. A pattern was discovered in the treatment of garden stones (the ratio of scenic stone:%) and the pond shape (the pond shape complex ratio:%). These resemble Kyoto and Edo gardens.(2) The ratio of evergreen is 75.5% and the ratio of deciduous is 24.5%. There is a difference between Kyoto and Edo gardens: 90% evergreen to 10% deciduous. 4.The gardens in coastal regions have many Pinus Thunbergii, and many Pinus Densiflora in plains regions. Both of them are mainly used for scenic trees. Cryptomeria japonica in plains region are for enclosure, and connected with forest behind the gardens in mountainous regions.
