The framework of rural landscape type analysis was subdivided into 3 major classifications, 9 subclassifications, and 71 landscape elements. Based on this, 500 rural landscape photos selected for rural amenity 100 for 5 years were analyzed. In the major classification, natural, living, and production landscapes appeared in similar ratios. It was found that natural landscapes decreased, production landscapes increased slightly, and living landscapes increased significantly. In the natural landscape, the water landscape, in the production landscape, the cultivated landscape, and in the living landscape, the historical and cultural landscape were recognized as representative landscapes. Representative landscape elements are forests in forest landscapes, rivers in water landscapes, oddly-shaped rocks and stones and, unusual terrain in topographical landscapes, paddy fields in cultivated land landscapes, reservoirs in production facility landscapes, villages in residential landscapes, fences in street landscapes, and large old trees in historic and cultural landscapes. Analysis by viewing distance found, the close-range views to be the most common at about half, followed by mid-range views and distant-views. Of natural landscapes, distant views made up a relatively high proportion, whereas in production and living landscapes, close-range views and mid-range views, respectively, were relatively high proportion compared to other landscape types. By season, summer was the most common in all landscape types, followed by autumn, spring, and winter.Read More
