    The Object and Method of This Study
    The lower garden of Saiho-ji temple is composed of eight scenes-the Sairaido (Buddha-hall), the egg-shaped stupa (lower story of the sarira-hall), the Ruri-den (lower story of the sarira-hall), three arbors of Shonan, Tanhoku and Tosei, a wharf and a golden pond.
    The upper garden of it consists of three scenesthe Shukuen-tei (arbor on the top of the garden hill), the Shito-an (arbor on the hill-side) and the Kojo-kan (gate at the foot of the hill)-based on the koan “Chou Shusai Asks Senior Monk Ryo” in the Shirmon-buko by Dai-e Shuko.
    By this study, therefore, I am going to expound theoretically the intention and expression of constructing this garden, depending upon the Musokokushi-goroku.
    The Essence of the Saiho-ji Garden
    This temple is a Zen monastery where the founder Muso-kokushi once practised the Way, aloof of the secular life. Its garden, I suppose, is the Zen garden which was constructed on the essence of Rinzai Zen Buddhism.
    Its subject expresses the fundamental thought of Rinzai Zen Buddhism in the Rinzai-roku.
    Its conception shows the “self-realization through zazen-samadhi” in the Rozan-ki.
    Its formation means, in the lower garden, “special transmission of the Law beyond sutras” and “nonattachment to letters” based on the koan Egg-shaped Stupa by Echu-kokushi (cf. the Hekigan-roku, Case 18) and, in the upper one, “direct pointing of the Buddha-mind” and “realization of the Buddhanature” based on the koan “Chou Shusai Asks Senior Monk Ryo” (cf. the Shumon-buko by Dai-e Fugakuzenji).

    Intending to report the result of some measurements on psychological effects of green spaces was changed by physiological reaction. It is fundamental recognition of this study that psychological effects of green spaces is related to mitigate or release a psychological factor. The method of preparation. used in this experiment is Havarrd Step Tests to measure the pulse rate of recovery. We tried experiments that the factors affecting the pulse rate of recovery suggested are the different emvironment, kind of floor and noise.
    The results of investigation were:
    1. The pulse rate of recovery is affected remarkably by the different emvironment. It can be considered that there is no effect of a kind of floor and noise on the pulse rate of recovery.
    2. The space with many planted trees get the pulse rate of recovery is 1.5-2.0 times as great as that of a place with few green spaces.
    The space with many planted is quick to recover from fatigue, therefore to get sense of rest at once.
    4. The stronger corelation was observed between the pulse rate of recovery and visual green's quantity.(a coefficient of correlation 0.805)
    We conclude from the experiment described above that psychological effect of green spaces was able to measure changed by physiological logical reaction.

    The aim of this article is to establish a planning theory for the disposition of Public parks in urban areas, and this article is the part of prospect of my studies in series.
    Therefore, in this article, I evolved mainly the essence on the disposition of public parks. There are two primery matter which we have to consider at the disposition of public parks. One is the disposition of public parks which is easy of access to every the citizens, and the other is the disposition of public parks which is fit in with the urban pattern.
    Then, in this study, I taken up the following three viewpoints, and I evolved the disposition of public parks mainly them.
    (i) A planning for the disposition of public parks and its basic scale.
    (ii) A planning for the disposition of public parks and the bounderies of park planning units.
    (iii) A planning for the disposition of public parks and its system.
