Abstract
This study analyses the characteristics of scenic viewing landscape in Matsudo City based on citizens’ preferences determined from their nominated scenic viewpoints, as well as related photos and comments submitted during the activity ‘My Favorite Scenic Spots of Matsudo City’ from 2009 to 2018. Through sorting out ten-year data, there are a total of 47 scenic viewpoints in Matsudo City, based on 64 contributors with 82 photos. Matsudo citizens’ preferences of scenic views, including the types and distribution characteristics of the scenic viewing subjects, and distribution characteristics of the viewpoints in Matsudo City, were classified and analyzed. The analysis results showed that the scenic viewpoints in Matsudo City are mainly concentrated in the western part, whereas the most preferred scenic viewing subjects are landmarks, both artificial and natural, mainly located outside of Matsudo City, especially Mt. Fuji and Tokyo Skytree. Most of the scenic viewing subjects could still be viewed clearly until now. Areas along the Edo River, areas surrounding Matsudo Station, and the Yakiri area have great potential for vitalizing the scenic viewing landscape of the city. This study suggests that Matsudo City’s landscape planning in the future should focus more on the scenic views and the preservation of these locations.
