A study on streetscape in harmony with Mozu-furuichi kofun group world heritage

Research on the Mozu-Furuichi Kofun Group, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Japan, reveals that streetscapes harmonious with these ancient mounded tombs are evaluated based on three key elements: regularity, naturalness, and history/culture. These elements are influenced by greenery along streets, building colors and designs, walls/fences, and pavement unity. The study used factor analysis of landscape plans to identify evaluation viewpoints and recognize elements contributing to harmony. This insight is crucial for urban planning that balances enjoyment of kofun while preserving their historical value.
