Residents' Perceptions of Viticultural Landscapes

A Case Study of Katsunuma area, Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture

Abstract

This study aims to clarify the differences in the residents' perceptions based on the results of a questionnaire survey, focusing on the Katsunuma area of Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture, which is a typical cultural landscape for viticulture. As a result of the analysis, we demonstrated that the perception of landscape differs depending on the residential area and presence/absence of farmers among the family members. Furthermore, we found that these aspects are also affected by some factor other than the physical distance from the element concerning the residential area.
