Abstract
Difference on situation characteristic between Umino-koen and Nojima-koen is not artificial beach or natural beach, it is structure and position of beach park where is related to the sea. Umino-koen is a horizontal type, which has residential area where is set apart by the road at the back of beach park. Nojima-koen located at an island is a combined types of horizon and vertical, which has Hirakata Bay, a tranquility water area at the back of beach park. There was a different image by the people who visit these two beach parks, where Umino-koen is a formal place, and Nojima-koen is an ordinary place. These differences are not only because of fundamental structures, but also because of facilitiy materials and plans which are set up for landscape of the parks, especially, shade area and surface soil area in total area of the parks. Shortnecked clams propagate in these two beaches, and many people visit for gathering the clams every spring and autumn. At Nojima-koen, in addition there have waterways in vertical part, where many people visit for fishing. The waterway and Hirakata Bay located at the back of Nojima-koen are famous places for goby fishing. By the survey results, I suggest that waterways and also other vertical structures which are related to the sea are necessary to be introduced into planning and developing of beach park in future.
