Year: 1999
Type: article
Abstract: In this study we made clear the spatial composition of a row shaped village in the Tonami Plain by a case study of "Higashi-kaihotsu" which has been classified into "a row shaped village" in our first report. We got to know that the arrangement of buildings in the premises was different from that of a dispersed village. We clarified the reason from the viewpoint of the relationship between the configuration of buildings and village composition. In addition, all the elements in the premises in a row shaped village were more strictly regulated by streets and watercourses than in a dispersed village. We considered it was caused by the location of a row shaped village which frequently suffered floods scince its establishment.
