Abstract
This study recognizes the landscape of river including the concept of dynamism. The results are as the following.
1.It is effective to classify the 3 domains (aquatic area, terrestrial area, boundary area) when we define the natural landscape and recognize rivers as natural landscape.
2.We pursue the change of river landscape of 8 small rivers in Yamanashi prefecture after river improvement as a result it is cleared that the landscapes of rivers are changeable.
3.It is inferred the deference of changed condition by flood, sediment production, and river improvement can not be neglected as the factor of river landscape change.
As above the concept of dynamism gives the important direction for the future river projects which aim to enhance natural landscape and biotic community in river. We raised a question that river landscape should be considered from the dynamism standpoint.
