Actual conditions and issues of nighttime landscape formation in the Kurashiki gawahan preservation district for groups of historical buildings

Abstract

In Kurashiki, a number of initiatives related to nighttime landscaping have been implemented. However, in recent years, the use of nighttime landscaping has rapidly transformed the area into a tourist destination, and the balance between residents living in the area and tourism is becoming unbalanced. The purpose of this study is to assist in the future development of nighttime landscapes. During the period of nighttime landscape development, nighttime lighting projects were completed in a short period of time, and the foundation of the nighttime landscape was established. However, the nighttime landscape with dramatic lighting highlighted the progression and hollowing out of the tourist area. In the period of nighttime landscape utilization, the balance between tourism and daily life became more important. In the future, it is also very important how to improve the living environment in the development of nighttime landscapes.
