Abstract

Cities are changing continuously through a variety of events. The authors have proposed a theoretical model to understand urban transformation as "network of events." Each event is depicted with basic grammar, which consists of three layers, actor or agency (A), background (B) and changed object (C → C'). This paper tries to develop more detailed grammar and procedure especially for depicting "C → C'" with the grammar by using a concrete sample data of Omi, which is a mountain village in Kyoto. The procedure proposed in this paper is as below; 1) Designating events to be depicted. 2) Collecting materials. 3) Picking up events from the materials. 4) Applying grammar to each event. 5) Visualizing changing process of objects using diagram.
