Abstract
Tihis thesis intends to clarify a methodological frame of interpreting cities. A new point of this thesis is that the clarified frame is organized on the interpreted landscape, not on the physical one. In order to get the elements as the frame, town watchers' viewpoints have been detected. From the viewpoints, the elements are clarified as following.
1. LIFE-the life of changing cities, human warmth, etc. 2. VARIETY-composition of various atmosfair, high and low of land, nature in the town, etc. 3. VIEW-contrast of artificiality structure and nature, beauty of nature and traditional things, etc.
