    “Kemari”, one of the old Japanese sports, was introduced to Japan from China at 7th century. In the beginnig Kemari was played with a ball in the garden of the peerages's residence. But gradually the ground of Kemari was established and “Kakari” to which the ball was kicked were planted. The kakari's trees were cherry tree, willow, maple, pine tree and others. From the viewpoint of Landscape architecture, the trimming techniques of the garden were used for Kakari. And for the pavement of the ground, soil and sand were mixed and tightened sometimes with salt.

    This study attempts to consider the possibility of greening in the interface space of the historic urban block in Nara. The outline of the contents and the results are as follows; 1) According as the size of housing site increases, the open space is increased.The open space is characterized by the type of interface elements and greenery. 2) Based on the human needs for the interface space, We deal with the landscape evaluation (hard characteristics) and questionaire survey (soft characteristics). From the six relationships of two characteristics, the possibility of the greening may be investigated. 3) In order to satisfy the feeling of green-sufficiency and conserve the historic landscape, the greenery space in the interface space is increased. The possibilty of greening in the small open space was found that the green-sufficiency is satisfied by increasing the greenery space. On the case of the large open space it is also possible by introducing the green-sufficiency even if the rate of greenery space is low.

    This paper consider the appearance of “Gardens For practical Ues”, in “the competitions about the plans for a house” during the latter half of the Taisyo Period and the former half of the Showa period, from the view point of its relationship with the arrangement of rooms in the house.
    Their appearance seems to have reflected the facts as follows. That model for them in Europe and the United States developed under strict financial constriction of the World War One, so those fitted for the situations of Japan during that period, that is, the period from the great deppression to World War Two.
    Through that period, their style had experienced little change or development. And the financial constriction on the side of the client seems to have been the main factors of such stagnancy. But the appearance of such a kind of gardens itself shows development of new view to gardens that is different from the traditional views in Japan.

    Old pictures are sometimes used as references to tell the past vegetation. But it is not easy to show the accuracy of those depictions in most cases.
    This study shows the past vegetation of hills and mountains around Kyoto through the analysis and consideration of the pictures of “Teito-gakei-ichiran (Elegant Sights of Kyoto)”, which was published in the Bunka era (1804-1818 A. D.). In this study, skylines of hills and mountains seen in the pictures are often compared with those of today and those estimated by topographical maps.
    The results shows that the vegetation or landscape of hills and mountains around Kyoto in the Bunka era was largely different from today: low vegetation was common on the hills and mountains and forests of small area were also common there.
    Such landscape seems to be a reflection of life of those days when life was deeply dependent upon forests.

    The inner landscape of Japanese garden is easily confused by a tall building beside it, because the main landscape characterisity is in its miniaturized landscape and circuit type. Especially modern buildings which have great contrast on 0 size, 02 scale, (3) form, (4) material, and (5) color with Japanese gardens make fatal landscape destruction in the stabilized inner garden landscape.
    This study searched the present situation ((1)-(5) 0) of tall buildings by which landscape destruction were caused in 5 Japanese gardens in Tokyo, and analized the distance and height-analysis of the angle of elavation-which indicates a sense of oppression from the buildings.

    Residential open space in the historic urban area has been obtaining new forms and meanings in its existence in the process of modernistic space renewal. The gross composition of buildings and open spaces on a residential site has lost its original form resulting from overall renewal of a site and been transformed by partial one along with the reconfigulation of traditional ‘niwa’(yard or garden) space. The process and results of the transformation were clarified in the form and meaning of ‘niwa’ space remained by examiniation in some quantitative aspects of physical space and by comparative analysis of building floor plans and their relationship with the ‘niwa’ space before and after the renewal. The spatial meanings of the ‘niwa’space has shifted from those of the space that maintains structurally central characters on a site in the traditional setting to those that represents a partial compornent of the overall composition in the modern setting.

    The public garden of Taisho period has come to assume serious in the formation of urban district. The townlots was done for a background with the readjustment of arable land. Public garden began to turn the land into townlots. The effectual reservation method in readjust lands was influenced under a substite lots. But the partitions of agricultural land interests lack flexibility to administrative use. The good instance is the Garden City Company that put in practice apply the Arable Land in Readjustment Act. It will not lead to any practical result in the interest of the public. The need of such the Town Planning and Zoning Act was keenly felt. Tokyo extended residential suburb carried out the town planning and zoning, in a spring-fed pond made use of garden area. The principle that beneficiaries should pay for part of the land adjustment, as the result, the local municipl corporation is able to acquire the ownership of public garden area.

    This study is concerned with the meaning of the “greens”, the plants for landscapeing and the landscape planting, from the viewpoints of the principle of Landscape Architecture. The “greens” means the natural structural unities composed of the plants and their bionomical and landscaping elements, which intermediate and transmit the force of Mother Nature. The plants for landscaping are the main elements forming the “greens”. The landscape planting includes the following categories; the protectional landscape planting, the coservational landscape planting, the expanding landscape planting and the inventing landscape planting.

    A study was carried out on the recent situation of the supply and demand for nursery stocks used in landscape planting. The historical changes in the amount of nursery stock from 1973 were looked into. Total amount of nursery stock increased repidly until 1974, and then began decreaseing. The ratio of trees to shrubs slightly increased until 1975. Since then, it has decreased on a continuous bases. The number of evergreen trees increased radically until 1975, but quickly declined after that year. The number of non woody trees (such as palm trees and bamboos) fluctuated from year to year. An investigation was then carried out into the regional distribution of nursery stock. Broad leaved evergreen trees were not grown in Hokkaido. Growth was restricted due to the cold wather. They were therefore produced in southern Japan. As for the destribution of conifers and deciduous trees, these trees were not affected so much by the climate compared to evergreen trees. Each species is produced in a particular district, but as a whole, conifers and deciduous trees were produced in almost all of Japan. In some prefectures, the number of stock trees changed drastically from year to year, while in other prefectures the number was rather constant. Other trends in the production of nursery stock are also described in this paper.

    It was worked out a way to make aggregate soil containing a hydrophilic polymer. The aggregate soil has high moisture holding ability and high water resistant. We studied the propaties of the soil and the effects on the rooting of landscape planting with the soil. We originated the test method that was medium separation to compare treated soil each other. Rooting was test compared with aggregate soil containing a hydrophilic polymer and several soil by the the root medium separate method. The root growth was better aggregate soil containing a hydrophilic polymer more then another soil on most tested plants except Japanese Privet and Common Camellia.

    We developed a simple hydroponic system for the rooftop vegetation consisting of light weight materials for planting substrates and an equipment for water supply. The cultivation experiment has been conducted from July 1987 to June 1988 on the rooftop floor of the college building of University of Osaka Prefecture. Three materials of planting substrates; rockwool, peatmoss, and perlite were used and tested whether these were adaptable for the cultivation of plants on the rooftop or not, especially the rockwool was tested in detail.
    Many kinds of plants grew well on the rooftop floor by the system, in spite of the thickness of substrates were as thin as 75 to 100mm in the case of the rockwool. It is revealed that the rockwool is able to apply for the substrate of the rooftop vegetation by transplanting of younger tree or seedling.
    The amount of evaporation from rockwool substrate on the rooftop occupies 40% for ground covering plants and 80% for low bush trees of total evapo-transpiration, so the mulching by any ground covering plants is effective for water consumption, good landscape, and managements of cultivation.
    In this system, it is very easy to move the plants with substrates, so that we can plan rooftop gardens with many patterns of plants layout. The vegetation system would contrbute to make the good landscapes on rooftops and open spaces in the urbanized areas.

    The end-limit of the pruning time for next year's blossoming worth appreciation was experimentally attested under 1987's meteorological conditions with rhododendrons such as Rhododendron oomurasaki Makino and Rhododendron indicum Sweet. The settling ratio of rhododendron flower sprouts is largely affected by being pruned or not, and if pruned, where and when pruned. It was determined that it has been all right to prune this year's branches by 10 weeks after blossoming (July 28) for R. oomurasaki and 5 weeks (August 11) for R. indicum respectively, to prune last year's branches immediately after the end of blossoming for both species, to prune this year's branches lightly only 10 weeks after blossoming (September 15) for R. indicum, and to heavily prune this and last year's branch mixture by 4 weeks after blossoming (August 4).

    A Iaboratory test was made of the germination of the seeds of four wild flower species which are considered important members of the attractive grassland community.
    Measurements were conducted on freshly-collected and stored seeds. Responses to storage methods (dry and wet at 3°C), temperature, and light conditions in relationship to germination were examined.
    Ixeris stoloniferam The effect of light on germination was not recognized. Germination of seeds with stratification was inhibited, but seeds in dry storage at 3°C maintained their initial germinability. Ixeris dentata Almost no germination was observed in the dark. Germination was accelerated by stratification or under illumination. Seeds showed the best germinability when given both treatments. Picris hieracioids subsp. japonica and Chrysanthemum leucanthemum Good germination was observed not only in the light but also in the dark in these species. Stratification or illumination raised their germinability.

    Tree growth progress was surveyed and investigated on the man-made slopes in Hukui Prefecture, on which deciduous and evergreen broad-leaved seedlings were planted densely about 15 years ago. This case of tree planting on man-made slopes was an early one in Japan. The surveys were carried out 5 times from 1976 to 1988. The results were obtained as follows;(1) the tree growth is generally progressing at a good pace.(2) while some deciduous trees are more dominant on overstory than evergreens, the forest structure, such as number of tree species or survival species, are different between deciduous species on overstory.(3) soil conditions are also developing steadily, the fact obtained from our measurement of the soil respiration rate.

    The authors prepared test yards for measuring fading (or discoloration) and variation of surface temperature on pavements. The grounds were paved with two different materials, which were concreate blocks and asphalt. After construction, the pavements were painted in four colors of two different kind of paints, which were inorganic silica paints and acrylic resin paints. The colors of the pavements were mesured with the colorimeter for ten months. The surface temperature of each color area was measured with the noncontact radiation thermometer, in the daytime of summer and autumn. The fading and the discoloration of the pavement was certified (table 2, 3, 4). The variation of surface temperature on the pavement was also certified (fig. 3, 4, 5). The surface temperatures of the pavements were negatively correlated to the luminous reflectance of the pavements (fig. 6).

    An experiment was performed to determeine if viewing a green object would indeed result in reduction of visionary fatigue caused by visual display terminal operation. The method used in this experiment is the following. Fifteen participants are selected to spend one and a half an hour operating a personal computer and subseqently are exposed to 6 different types of visual stimulants such as a potted plant. Flicker Counts are then taken before and after the experimental activities to find out how each stimulant affects the rate at which visionary fatigue is reduced. The resulting Flicker Count Reduction Rates are:
    a) no stimulation 5.80%
    b) viewing of artificial trees 4.73%
    c) viewing of buildings at a distsance 3.86%
    d) viewing of a potted plant 3.03%
    e) viewing of mass green at a distance 3.00%
    f) viewing of lawn 1.23%
    These results suggest that viewing of real green objects after having operated on a personal computer terminal (VDT) for a given time would indeed lead to reduction in the visual fatigue factor.

    For the conservation of genetic resources environmetal characteristics of the habitats of wild fruit trees are analyzed in connection with the growth of these trees and the structure and dynamics of plant communities. Vegetation management systems to conserve genetic resources and to utilize their habitat as open space are considered.
    Because wild fruit trees are intolerant of shade they generally usually grow in the seral stages of plant succession except for those on particular sites such as limestone terraces. Therefore for the maintenance of the habitats of wild fruit trees, it is necessary to reorganize the vegetation management applying the system of coppice forests.

    In order to develop an attractive floorscape by the maltiplication of Solidago virgaurea L. subsp. asiatica Kitam., one of native perennial plants with yellow-colored flowers, in the recreational forest, these raising seedlings were experimentally planted in the Quercus serrata stands on the upper slope at Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture from 1983 to 1985.
    Results were as follows. Under about 50% relative light intensity on the forest floor, S. virgaurea subsp. asitica satisfactorily grew, flowered and seeded. In this condition, fertilizing and watering were not necessary for the growth of this species. But pesticide spray was required to contorol aphides and powdery mildew. Flowering term of this plant was from the middle of October to the end of November. In order to regulate commpetitive plants, at least, brush cutting once a year in winter and weeding in summer every two or three years were required.

    1) The aim of this study is to clarify the regeneration processes of plantsin mixed Taraxacum officinale-Paspalum dilatatum planted communities. Plants were repeatedly mowed at different time intervals (at every two (2W), Four (4W), eight (8W) and twenty-four (24W) weeks) and at different heights (0cm and 5 cm above ground).
    (2) T. officinale and P. dilatatum have a similar regeneration behaivior. At first, the mowed plants regenarate the above ground photosynthetic organs using resources stored in root systems. The greater proprtion of photosynthesized substances appeared to be brought back into root systems. The proportion used for producing more leaves appeared to be smaller.
    (3) The growth rates of above ground biomass of T. officinale in all treatments, except 2W-0cm treatment mowed at two weeks interval at 0 cm, nearly equaled that of control (24W-0cm or 24W-5cm). Most of plants in the 2W-0cm treatment were killed by the end of experiment. Even if T. officinale was covered by P. dilatatum, the Taraxacum plants were able to make photosynthesis in the densely crowded communities by erecting their root-leaves.
    (4) The flowering of T. officinale received no harmful effects from periodically repeated mowing in mixed planting conditions. T. officinale continued to bloom for a long period even in 24W-5cm treatment.

    The Present study was designed to classify spatial distribution pattern of forestislands and to clarify their ecosystem conservation potential in rural landscape.
    The relation between land characteristics and land use was analyzed in water catchment of Sakura River in Ibaragi Prefecture, applying φ-indicater (tab-1). Spatial distribution pattern of forest-islands was classified to 4 type, 1) natural 51 stands of forest-islands were studied phytosociologically in 2)-type area to clarify their ecosystem conservation potential. Principal Component Analysis was applied to the 4-rank coverage data of 38 herb-layer species, 30-70% constancy (tab-2, 3, fig-1). The first principal component was positively correlated with the percentage of the natural forests around their stands (fig-2).
    In view of above results, it is implied that it is necessary to maintain every successional stage diversely through the species recruitment potential to keep up ecosystem conservation potential of forest-islands in rural landscape.

    Walkway in recreational area are facilities not merely for traffic but also for recreation. It is necessary to control pedestrian traffic volume under some critical value for keeping amenity on the paths. To estimate the pedestrian traffic carrying capacity, field surveys were made. They revealed the relationship between the pedestrian volume and the velocity of each visitor. The velocity decreased with the increase of pedestrian traffic volume. The deviations in velocity also decreased. This means that at heavier traffic volume, visitors cannot choose their velocity freely because of the crowded condition. The mean velocity was approximated as v=69.35-0.54t, and the standard deviation of the velocity s=15.06-0.17t, in whicht is traffic volume. Under conditions in which there is no restriction due to crowding, which can be supported as the desirable situation, the velocities ranged from 39 to 99m·min.-1 By using the two equations, the percentage of visitors, whose velocities would be controlled out of the desirable range, could be calculated at any traffic volume. The study revealed that more than 85% of the visitors could enjoy walking within the desirable range of velocity if the traffic volume is kept under than 9.8 visitors·min.-1·m.-1.

    The purpose of this reseach concerning landscapes created by lasndscaping project, is to analyze how they are acceped by the local people and the party concerned, and try to aquire ideal style of landscaping project and a guide for its design.
    We choose lakeside district of ‘Nisinoko’ in the suburbs of Ohmi Hachiman city, Shiga prefecture as a reseach area. We took pictures of bridges, shores and roads that were the objects of landscaping project beforehand, and showed them to farmers in this region, citizens in the city and the local government officials in charge, then we asked them the images of these pictures. By this image examination, we evaluate each landscaping project.
    As a result, effective projects in the lakeside district were wooden bridges, curving of roads, planting on shores and so on. On the other hand, the less effective or evil ones were piled up stones for shores, shores made of logs and uniform planting design, etc.
    In addition, it was found that the evaluations of the log shores greatly differ among the citizens in the city, government officials in charge and the people in the area.

    The object of this consideration is to establish the method of thinning for forest amenity. The choice of reserving trees and cutting trees, considering the contnual succession of the forest, was done in three plantation by the authours, a specialist for forest treatment and students. The trees chosen by these groups are different from each others. Examining these differences, it became clear how to improve the plantation as a forest for amenity and how to change it for its continuous succession. The thinning for forest amenity is to accelerate the regenaration in the order of ecological sequence. This thought has a likeness to Moller's thought about the continuous forest.

    The japanese and chinese poetry composed in japanese style-garden are assumed to be an essential tool in suggesting a manner of appreciating sights and in making mental correlation between the elements of scenery. In this sense, it is not too much to say that versification in garden constitutes a part of an important gerdening work besides formative arrangement of visual objects.
    As a result of consideration on the implications of versification at landscape experiences through the investigation of old records about gardens, it was found that an act of versification in japanese style-gardens could be deemed as one kind of technique of landscape management by linguistic or semiotic tool.

    The biometeorological researches from the view points of human behaviors and climatic conditions can contribute to the landscape planning/design.
    We proposed a human behavioral model which relates to the climatic and landscape elements and discussed its efficiency through the case study in Daisen park located in the Sakai city, Osaka. The human behavioral models of K. Levin2) and T. Kubo3) are the bases of our model.
    RB=f (T, S, W, H, V, Cl)
    RB: reactivity of human behavior, T: thermal condition of air, S: sunshine condition, W: wind velocity condition, H: humidity condition, V: shade condition from tree, Cl: clothes of user
    On site surveys were conducted through 4 days, 10, 17, 24 April and 29 May, 1988. Thermal data at several heights (0, 10, 20, 30, 50, 100, 150cm) and reactivity data of human behavior using a questionary sheets which included 5-ladder scaled vocabularies as “comfortable /discomfortable” and “hot /cool” were collected and processed as shown in fig. 1 to 4.
    The efficiency of the human behavioral model was recomfirmed and the thermally comfortable zone was made clear relating to the variables in the model.
    The conclusions of this study show not only the biometeorogical relationship between human behaviors and climatic conditions but also show the bases of landscape planning/design.

    It is essential to give full consideration to the preservation of the existing natural environment in city planning. It is particularly important to protect the natural habitats of insects and small animals such as small mammals, birds and reptiles. This study was undertaken in Suginami Ward in Tokyo to determine the relation between the amount of greenery and the number of small animals and insects sighted by the residents in the study area. 20 species of small animals and insects were selected for this study and the residents in each of the 36 districts of Suginami Ward were questions on the frequency with which each of the species was sighted in their neighborhood. The results were as follows;
    1. The study revealed 4 distribution patterns of small animals and insects.
    Type A: 8 of the species were sighted in small numbers throughout the study area.
    Type B: A large number of 8 species were sighted in a few isolated districts in the studyarea.
    Type C: 2 of the species were sighted in large number in certain sections of the Ward.
    Type D: Except for a few isolated districts, 2 of the species were sighted in large numbers throughout the study area.
    2. A variety of small animals and insects were found to inhabit areas close to parks and open spaces and in residential district with a large percentage of greenery.
    3. It is necessary to establish a parks and open space system to serve as habitats for small animals and insects in built-up areas to attract and nurture such animals in order to maintain the balance of the natural ecosystem.

    In the lsikari Plain, farmlands have been developed on wetlands. These farmlands, however, have been damaged by the frequent occurrence of floods. This study attempts to understand land use history on wetlands in the lsikari Plain and to consider how to minimize flood damages through land use control.
    History of flood damages on lowlands is discussed in connection with the land reclamation processes. in particular, inundated areas by the flood in August 1981 are compared with the distribution of wet and waste lands in 1905 when the areas were undeveloped. As a result, it is pointed out that wetlands with high potential risk of flood damages are generally unsuitable for housing developments. Therefore, the areas having the characteristics of wetlands are to be maintained as openspaces with the functions of both retarding run-off and producing rices or offering high amenity value for recreational purposes.

    Ratio of vegetation cover in a pixel is estimated using vegetation index. Several kinds of vegetation index calculated from Landsat TM data are compared with the ground truth derived from the vegetation map of Minato ward. The correlation between vegetation index and ground truth is higher than 0.7 before the averaging of 3x3 pixels and is higher than 0.8 after averaging. The highest correlation is shown in the case of bi-band ratio defined as band 4/band 3 of Landsat TM data. Ratio of vegetation cover in a pixel is estimated by a linear epuation of those vegetation index.
    The distribution of ground truth of vegetation cover in the analyzed area indicates that the number of pixels which contain vegetation and other kinds of land cover surpasses the number of pixels which are covered by vegetation only. The estimation of the ratio of vegetation cover in a pixel contributes the accuracy of classification of vegetation in urban areas.
