Case Study of Kamidaki, Toyama City, Toyama Prefecture
Keywords:Country Town, Historical Town, Urban Formation, Modernization, Land Ownership, Toyama
The purpose of this study is to clarify the process of modern settlement space formation from the perspective of land ownership in country town. I selected Kamidaki as a case study and analyzed the changes in spatial layout in the modern era, focusing on four elements: residential areas, public facilities, stores, and factories. For each of them, I analyzed the impact of land ownership on changes in settlement space. As a result, I revealed that the provision of land for rent by landowners had a significant impact on the location of new functions and the expansion of village space. While land allocations of pre-modern origin persisted along the old road, new facilities and industries were located behind the road.
