Abstract
Ecological cartography was developed in order to visualize the spacial characteristics of urban climatic conditions. The maps were made using data obtained from a questionnaire. Using these data, we performed an analysis on the scale of street corners for Kumamoto City. This study was conducted in five districts that were 300m×300m in size. Questionnaires were sent to the residents in these districts in order to investigate the relationship between their perceptions about the local climatic conditions in their neighborhoods and their energy consumption for household heating and air conditioning. The results showed that these two factors had fairly good correlation.
