Abstract
This chapter illustrates typical landscape types extracted by principal component analysis and cluster analysis. It also discusses the distribution patterns and characteristics of these landscape types and examines the relationship between land use and population changes. The following seven landscape types were extracted: urban landscape, urban paddy field mixed landscape, paddy field landscape, other field landscape, paddy field satoyama landscape, other field satoyama landscape, and nature landscape. Then, through the combination analysis of land use and population changes in recent years, shrinking, compacting, stability, scattering, and expanding tendencies are observed. Not only in Nagoya but also in the periphery of the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, a mosaicked structure of the above tendencies was clearly observed, with satoyama landscape types most dramatically confronting the crisis of disappearance.
