    This paper deals with Kamagatani Cherry Grove in the province of Mino and its influential farmer who contributed to enhence his place as a noted cherry-blossom-viewing spot for city people late in the Edo period.
    Native farmers regarded the Grove as a village common of grasses and woods. On the other hand, city people valued the place to enjoy viewing cherry blossoms in spring. Although such an urban attitude was shared with few farmers, the farmer and village official, who had a taste for haiku and tea ceremony, distributed leaflets to promote the Grove into a noted flowerviewing site in spring.

    Asuka-yama, which was arranged as a place for ‘Hanami’ by Shogun Yoshimune in Edo era, is valued as one of the pioneers of public recreational open spaces in Japan. This study is to elucidate the planning concept and features of recreational space in Edo era, as a case study of Asuka-yama. Author revealed the following facts on the bases of literatures.
    1. Yoshimune was ingenious to consider not only phisical planning but also management systems.
    2. The dominant concept of physical planning was the creation of total landscape of Asuka-yama and its surroundings.
    3. The distinctive concept of manegement policy was image-building as a common recreational zone.
    4. Users made up Asuka-yama to flexible recreational spaces.(for example, expansion towards Takinogawa)
    5. In all cases, historical contexts were respected.
    After Edo, the relationships between Asuka-yama and its surroundings were cut off.

    Very few Japanese gardens have been known to exist in France. The garden of Maulevrier is Japanese in style and has one of the longest history as a Japanese garden in European countries. It was constructed in the early 20th century by a French architect, Alexandre Marcel. He was known as a designer of Cinéma La Pagode (Japanese style architecture, 1897), in Paris, which had an admirable Japanese garden. And also he designed a Japanese style five storey pagoda at the Paris International Exposition in 1900, which made even Japanese people surprised. By reason of its comparatively large strolling garden style and its historical meanings, we concluded that the Japanese garden of Maulevrier is to be recorded in garden history.

    Results of this study are condenzed as below.
    Ideas of Taoism in ancient China had affected on Shintoism, before influences of Buddhism which was introduced in 6th century. After 9th century above ideas were adjusted to form Japanese naturalistic philosophy on the base of Mantorism.
    With understandings of above, such ancient Japanese gardens as Kyoku-Sui canal garden noted to be in 5th century, pond gardens of Asuka & Fujiwara ages in 7th century, pond gardens in HeijoKyo & HeijoKyu in 8th century, SagaIn naturalistic pond garden in 9th century, Shinden style gardens in Heian periods, can be studied catching their backgrounds of landscape design ideas which stand on respects to great natural beings.
    For example, Kyokusui canal garden noted at Nihon Syoki is understood to be designed as a site of celemonial garden party, developed on the idea of Taoism flowing-water celebration in 4th century. Also, FujiwaraKyu palace pond garden shows a sort of harmony with natural landmark of Miminashi Yama hill in its naturalhstic design, and has been regarded to symbolize Japanese natural landscape garden tradition.
    Considering above examples, it is needed to recognize concerned meanings between Japanese landscape garden ideas and Chinese Taoism ideas which show respects to such natural landscapes as landmarks of mountains, waterfalls, old big trees or rocks, being regarded as hidden residences of natural souls. And ideas of Taoism also affected on Mantoism each other in Heian periods, to resulf spirits of Saku-Tei-Ki (Garden Design Note) which show fundamental images of Japanese landscape architecture tradition.

    Eating and drinking is one of human pleasure and also it has been popular behavior in public parks. In this paper we made a chronological table of conditions, usages and social recognition of the facilities on the basis of official documents of city Tokyo and “Shinsen Meisho Zue”. Then we organized the meanings and problems of the facilities in public parks. Besides we mentioned that the administration had changed their policy for those facilities from positive to negative attitude with the change of the times and clarified its reason.

    Pendant l'époque du Second Empire (1852-70), Paris fut transformée par Haussmann, préfet de la Seine. Il réalisa trois systèmes hierarchisés: voie, eau (adduction et égout), espace vert. Le rôle principal de ce dernier système était l'amélioration de la hygiene comme Haussmann l'insista. Mais ce systeme joua aussi le rôle pour avoir l'habitude de se promener, et de se divertir aux espaces verts, c'est-à-dire pour changer la vie urbaine.

    The aim of this study is to introduce the principles of composition on the interface space in the historic environment for living, which is composed of several levels such as each dwelling, block, neighborhood, community etc. Through the case studies of the old urban area in Nara, it was understood and examined that the principles of composition on the interface space are composed of three characteristic components; human needs for interface space, changes of traditional interface element and roles & physical forms of the green space. In order to verify the principles of composition, we deal with the evaluation of landscape, which compared the values of dwelling to that of block level. An analysis was carried out of three components and the effect the traditional type of interface element has on them. As a result, it was evident that there are, in the circumstance, qualitative tendencies; according as the satisfaction of the human needs for interface space, the evaluation of changes of interface element decreased and that of green space increased in the relationship between three components.

    Japanese parks have their origin in the conversion of the heritage of old recreation area to modern parks by a cabinet proclamation in 1873. In Hokkaido, whose modern development began 1869, no recreational heritage were available.
    The purpose of thhs paper is to make clear that in Hokkaido the layout of most city parks were integrated into early city and/or agricultural village plannings and that most natural parks had a great deal to do with the mind of early forest conservation.
    These facts show the uniqueness of the origin of parks in Hokkaido in Japanese park history, and parallel can be found rather in the origin of parks in the U. S. A.

    The year of 1937 marks an important pivotal point with regard to the development of modern landscape desigh in the United States. The first exhibition of landscape design at San Francisco Museum of Art featured a wide variety of idea for the modern garden proposed by the landscape architects who had been inspired by a new trend in architectural desigh taking place in American west coast region in particular. Although the basic concept behind the landscape desigh presented there seems to be a response to the regional context of California represented by the term “American Mediterranean”, its substantial part had been shared by the modernist architects and landscape architects who played important roles in European architectural scene throughout 1920s and 1930s. The concept of outdoor living room, clear definition of garden space in sharp contrast with well preserved natural environment around and asymmetrical composition of space with abstract and simple geometry, all of these were identified in the design principles represent this early stage of the modern movement in landscape design.

    In recent years, road construction work and land development are being carried out on a large scale using construction machinery. Due to this, the soil has become strongly acidic causing a serious problem to slope seeding and planting. The author collected many soil samples of this kind from 5 places throughout the whole country (Hokkaido, Ishikawa, Shizuoka, Kumamoto and Okinawa) and conducted some fundamental experiments on them
    The conclusions obtained are summarized as follows:
    1) Soil color is almost bluish-gray and olive-gray except for Kumamoto soil.
    2) pH of the soils indicates oxidization of about 2 to 3.
    3) Soil hardness is about 16-31mm, electrical conductivity ranged from a minimum of 1.3mΩ/cm to a maximum of more than 10mΩ/cm.
    4) Specific gravity of the soils is about 2.4-2.7, and texture consists mostly of silt fraction and clay fraction.
    5) Three phases of the soils is extremely low in the gas phases with a large water retentivity
    Strongly acidic soils may be due to the large amounts of mudstone accumulated during the Neogene period, Pleiocene epoch and the Quaternary period, Pleistocene epoch.

    We propose a tree model which shows competitive growth with computer graphics. This model can express “alternate”, “opposite”, “verticillate” branches growing. It has a growth system in which the rate of growth is determined by the environment. With this computer model one can simultaneously grow trees. The simulation provides the opportunity to see various aspect of these trees, especially dry branches under the crown, crown-shape formed by more than one tree and oppresed tree.

    We made field experiments on the adhesion of Parthenocissus tricuspidata Planch. to a wooden wall, which is one of the most popular adhesive climbers in Japan. Experimental conditions were made by controlling the inclination of stern, the diameter of stern, the amount of insolation, and the concentration of gibberellic acid applied.
    The result was that the degree of stem inclination, the diameter of stem, and the amount of insolation stlongly affected the adhesive intensity of P. tricuspidata, and the application of gibberellic acid had a little effect on it.

    In this first stage of a study aiming at the development of a technique for the establishment of a visually attractive green area, germination tests were made on seeds of four wild flower species under varying conditions of temperature in the laboratory.
    The results of the tests are as follows:
    Percentage germination of Ixeris dentata was very low (only 2.8% at 20°C) in direct seeding after collecting. But wet storage at low temperature gave good germination (76.5% at 10°C after 3 months storage at 5°C).
    Seeds of Ranunculus japonicus, Cllrysanthemurn leucantheinum, and Lotus corniculates var. Japonicus could germinate after harvest with high percentage, respectively 78% at 5°C, 95% at 25°C, and 80-90% at 10-25°C 25°C. This good germination ability can be kept in dry storage. Seeds of Ranunculus must be controlled at lower temperature, preferably is 0-5°C.

    The actual condition of uses of indoor foliages in shops was investigated in Osaka City, one of the largest commercial cities in Japan. Questionnaires were sent to shops where indoor foliages were used or not to determine the role of indoor foliages in shops. Indoor foliages had been enhancing sales by half of shops investigated, and increased the amenity in most of shops; although main aims of about 70% of shops to use foliages were enhancing sales of their shops, and only 22% of shops had aimed so increase amenity by using indoor foliages. On the other hand, about 35% of people working in the shop with no plants used argued the use of foliages for the purpose of amenity. From these results, usefulness of living green plants for people working in commercial cities was discussed.

    There is a soil which is called by the name of “Sei-kai nendo”(Bluish gray clay), in soils (from the Tertiary) on plateaus around plains of Osaka, Nara, Wakayama and Kyoto in Kinki District, Japan. At some places of the Senboku New Town, surfaces of the soil exposed to turn the land into housing lots about a dozen of years ago go on still being not covered by the vegetation. At such a places, root developement and soil weathering were investigated by means of the soil profile survey and soil analysis. As the retult, it was judged that it is caused by extremdly intensive acid, reduction and compaction of the soil.
    The following two effective methods to grow plants on the soil through the growth of Raphanus sativus var. minor as a phytometer were found through the second experiment for the soil improvement, that is;
    (1) to neutralize chemically the intensive acid soil by means of magnesium lime.
    (2) to neutralize it by lime and furthermore to oxidize forcedly it by an oxidizing agent on sale.
    Weathering the soil for two years was a little effective to improve it.

    Soil water conditions and the root distribution of Salix matsudana were investigated in the Mu Us Desert, China. S. matsudana is one of the most popular and the most important trees in this area.
    The growth of S. matsudana trees was closely connected with the ground water level.
    In the lowlands where the ground water level was-80-100cm from the surface and the soil was too damp, the trees had very poor root systems and some of them died.
    The trees showed the most vigorous growth where the ground weter level was about-1.5m.
    On the dune where the sand contained little available water, they had wide-spread root systems compared to the trees growing in lower places. This enabled them to better obtain water. It was found that they cannot grow on the dune higer than 5m, because of lack of the available water.

    This study intends to discuss the present condition of Pinus densiflora plain forest in Ina Town, south west part of Ibaraki Pref. By the investigation into physiognomy and species composition, 8 forest form types were divided. 5 types of pure Pinus densiflora forest are differentiated by the vegetation of forest floors influenced by the frequency of underscrubbing for growing melons. Other 3 types are characterized by the condition of their forest crowns. The location of each type is influenced by configuration, underscrubbing and sprinkling insecticides. Underscrubbed forests are much located in north part of investigation area near golfing grounds. There are many forests damaged by Pinus decease in middle part. Most of forests in south part, where many slopes are, have never been undercrubbed for over 15 years. These results gave suggestions to conservation of Pinus densiflora plain forests.

    (1) Recently, therd have been attempts to make amenity grassland rich in wild flowers. The aim of this study is to clarify the regeneration processes of Taraxacum officinale in planted communities, which were repeatedly mowed at different time intervals (at every two (2W), four (4W), eight (8W), twenty-four (24W) weeks) and at different heights (0cm and 5cm above ground).(2) The photosynthetic organ was reproduced within a week even if the above ground part was removed by 0cm mowing. The root biomass decreased in the same period. This suggests that the production of the photosynthetic organ was formed using the substance stored in the root. The root biomass did not decrease in 5cm mowing. The root biomass of all treatments, except 2W-0cm mowing treatment, became larger than the initial biomass at the end of the fourth week. It means that photosynthate was brought back into root systems. Such regeneration ability of T. officinale suggests that it is suitable for amenity grassland management with mowing.(3) Growth rates of plants (increase of above ground biomass/week) in all treatments, except that of 2W-0cm treatment, nearly equaled that of control (24W-0cm or 24W-5cm). The above ground biomass of 8W-0cm and 8W-5cm recovered to the levels of control biomass. The present investigation revealed that T. officinale has a strong ability survive frequent mowings.(4) The flowering of T. officinale received no harmful effects from periodically repeated mowings. During the experiment, T. officinale continued to bloom for a long period.

    Shoot elongation of Acer buergerianum Miq. was investigated after the winter pruning. The shoot length elonged after the pruning depends on the shoot length before the pruning and its height. The trunk enlarging rate is decreased by the pruning, but not so remarkable as a tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipzfera L.)(FUJII et al., 1987) These differences would be resulted from the difference in the amount of leaf, i. e. the amount of leaf of pruned individual is mostly same as the non-pruned one owing to the existence of a short shoot besides a long shoot in case of A. buergerianum, but not in case of a tulip tree.

    In order to develop an attractive floorscape by the introduction of Platvcodon grandiflorum A. DC., one of native perennial plants with beautiful purple-colored flowers, in the recreational forest, those plants were experimentally planted in Qrcrcus serrata stands at Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture from 1982 to 1985.
    Results were as follows. Under about 50% relative light intensity on the forest floor, P. grandiflorum satisfactorily flowered and seeded. In this light condition, P. grandiflorum grew vigorously irrespective of topography. In order to regulate commpetitive plants, at least, brush cutting once a year at the end of July was required. Natural flowering term of P. grandiflorum is from the end of June to the end of July. But plants which cut in July, had the second flowering term from the end of September to the end of October. Fertilizing and watering were not required for growth of P. grandiflorum. But pesticide spray was necessary to control aphides.

    We studied on the planting design in front of noise barrier on highway by a psycologicul test with VTR. The tests were put into practice by VTR of landscape of highway which were composed by 8 types of model planting in front of noise barrier, and were carried out the tests for 110 persons of the subjects by the method of paired comparisons.
    The results obtained from these tests ware as follows: desirable type of the planting in front of noise barrier was high rate of screening index for noise barrier by the plants. And the type such as row planting which were cutted cleanly had a tendency to get desirable valuation regardless of low rate of the screening index.

    In order to expand the possibility of inplanting green foliage plants into the spaces where only artificial ground or soil is available, a series of experiments were conducted to find out how far such plants can grow in the artificial conditions with the soil that were much thinner and lighter than the natural ground.
    The results indicate that trees with middle and low heights as well as turf grasses can satisfactorily grow on the artificial ground with the thickness less than a harf of what is said to be necessary, and even not using ordinary soils but a light-weight soil amendment matter only. Besides, the artificial ground conditions were able to support only one-tenth of load of those constructed with conventional methods.

    In a previous report, it became apparent that Rhododendron reticulatum, a type of wild rhododendrons, can produce many blooms when thinning increases light level on the floor of abandoned secondary woodlands, or coppices. However, the effect of the improvement was not retained. It was suggested this result was due to the fact that since the experimental stands had been a slope, the cleared floor could not effectively hold fallen leaves and this had led to humus erosion. Therefore, experimental work was conducted to test the hypothesis that soil-nutrition shortage is the cause of few blooms.
    The results of the study are as follows: The fertilized R. reticulatum produced many blooms in both light and dark stands, whereas previously it had been difficult to produce enough blooms in relative light intensity below 20%. Furthermore, in the case of non-fertilizing, R. reticulatum had few blooms even in the light stand. Judging from these results, it is believed that light condition is not a sufficient or necessary factor for flower formation. Therefore, our research points to the important role of soil conservation in improving woods for flowering of wild rhododendrons.
    In another study of sprouts regenerated on stumps of R. reticulatum, it was concluded that good strub forms at about one meter in height could be produced three years after cutting. However, since these plants produced few blooms even five years after cutting, the aprout system is considered to be unsuitable for R. reticulatum.

We researched the transition of newly built buildings and non-building coverage lands in order to understand land use transition. The results of the study showed that;(1) High rise buildings gradually increased after the redevelopment project. While, use for those buildings were mixed in, and some of them had small building areas.(2) Parking lots particularly increased after the redevelopment project.(3) The characteristics of parking lots appearance were as follows: The First Stage, the large scale exclusive parking lots of redevelopment building remarkably appeared following the redevelopment project. The second stage, the large scale toll parking lots remarkably appeared owing to insufficiency of the exclusive parking lots of redevelopment building. The third stage, the monthly rental parking lots remarkably appeared owe to increasing high rise buildings and mixed use for those buildings.
