    To investigate the differences of utilization between the charged parks and the free parks, six garden style parks were selected based on the area. Three of them charged the visitors with a flat entrance fee and the other three are opened free of charge. The two set of three parks ranged from 1 ha to 55 ha. At these parks, the number of visitors were counted in every ten minutes at each entrances and their address were inquired. Fluctuations of the number of visitors were compaired and inducement rates of park's neighbourhood were computed at each concentric zones.
    The effects of restriction by the entrance fee were observed as followed.
    (1) The number of the visitors at charged parks was observed to be less than that of the free parks. This indicates the entrance fee acts as the barrier to the visitors.
    (2) The rush of the visitors' exit was observed in the closed parks at the time to close the gate. This indicates the existence of potential demand to use the charged parks on the evening.
    (3) The inducement rates were reduced at adjacent concentric zones of charged parks. This indicates the entrance fee acts as the barrier to the adjacent residents. But the reductions of the rates were not statistically correlated with the amounts of entrance fee.

    The purpose of this study is to complete a history of the Japanese garden through descriptions in literature. Descriptions on ROKUJYO-IN GARDEN appear the most in the“GENJI MONOGATARI”, which consisted of fifty-four volumes, forming 42% of the total.
    This garden is the ideal image of a garden held by the dynastic family during the Kanko era (1004-1012) of the Heian period. Its influence upon the future garden life is greatly acknowledged.
    The characteristics of this garden are the following.
    (1) It is very unique in design and particularly emphasizes the purpose, location, dimension, period of construction, policy of gardening, etc.
    (2) Concerning landscape design, it features a large pond with a floating boat consisting of artificial hill, island, inlet, cape, etc. Fountain water runs as a garden stream. The four seasons are distinguished through planting. Each water landscape and artificial hill is constructed according to the law of that time. Seasonal changes are mostly featured by plantings.
    (3) Concerning common-use, exhibitions such as boating on the pond, Kemari, betting bow, etc. are performed and banquets celebrating the cherry blossoms, evening cool; moonlight party, enjoying insects sing, and snow-viewing take place throughout the four seasons.
    (4) Concerning maintenance, trimming of Senzai, baskets for flowering plants, white sand pavement and bonfires for garden lighting are given.
    Four gardens constructed in ROKUJYO-IN are distributed to four young wives whose personalities are meant to be expressing each of the four seasons. This theory is attributed to the Chinese idea and is regerded as a desire for longlasting prosperity.

    The purpose of this study is to establish the management method of wild flowering plants in order to create the beautiful floorscape in recreational forests. In this study, Platycodon grandi florum was used as an experimental material, and the effects of light intensity and cutting on the growth and flowering were examined.
    Platycodon were planted on the floors of Quercus serrata forest which were prepared in light and dark conditions (Table 1). On the other hand, the similar sized Platycodon were planted in the 1/2000 Wagner pots on the open field. These pot plants were cut off at ground level in May, June, July, August and September, respectively. Besides, another treatment of cutting at a height of 10cm was added only in June.
    The results are as follows:
    (1) The growth of the plants in the Quercus stand was larger in the light condition, while some stems fell or died in the dark condition (Fig. 1). Moreover, the next year, Piatycodon grew vigorously and many seedlings were observed in the light condition.
    (2) The regrowth of June-cutting was the greatest among ground level cuttings. In every treatment except September-cutting, the number of new stems amounted to more than three times as many as the control (Fig. 2).
    (3) The natural flowering term is from the middle of June to the middle of July. But the plants cut in June, July and August had the second flowering about two months later after cutting. Especially, the number of flower in July-cutting was approximately 1.4 times and the fl owering term was about 2.4 times compared with the control (Table 2).
    (4) Platycodon were hardly affected by any cutting time. Particularly, the root weight in May, June, July and August-cutting was almost equal to the control. But in the case of Junecutting at the height of 10cm, the root was about half in weight with the ground level cutting (Fig. 3). This suggests that the ground level cutting is more suitable for the reproduction.
