Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to clarify the pluralistic cultural history, characteristics of the regional formation process, and the influences of a pluralistic culture on Kume district in Naha city. Firstly, the formation process was analyzed on 3 levels: area, linear and spot. Then, focusing on Ryukyu, Chinese and Japanese traditional cultures, the influences of the cultures were analyzed as well. At last, a conclusion was drawn as follows: There is an obvious connection between Ryukyu's Utaki, Haisho and the greenbelts and parks of today. Kume village was built based on the principles of Chinese Fusui Philosophy. Kume Road was once the central part of the district, and was preserved as its symbol on the original location. Also, Japanese Buddhism and Shinto beliefs lead to the construction of many temples and shrines in the study area. Future regional planning works in these locations should be carried out taking the aforementioned conclusions into consideration.
