Research for The Socio-Spatial Structure and Types of Traditional Cities

传统城市以其独特的地域差异构成了当代城市的历史基础。本研究是对传统城市形态和性质的类型学研究的一种尝试。特别是通过注重其社会空间结构组成部分的鲜明特点。在2001-2004年研究计划的框架下，我们取得了以下成果：1.传统城市的基础研究。这些都被收集在年鉴(城市历史年鉴)卷中。10-132.对传统城市的调查和数据收集。特别是《明日町》(明治时期的东京都政府)、《冈本武藏》(志贺市尾佐本市)、《丽达-佐贺ezu Shiryo》以及与江户的广场、桥梁、寺庙、神社有关的资料等，都取得了显著的成果。这些研究分别于2001年在德国埃尔福特、2003年在英国剑桥大学新霍尔学院和2004年在意大利科托纳进行。每个会议都有自己的主题，有助于比较了解传统城市的历史。研讨会平均吸引了50至80名研究人员参加。4.在日本举办了四次国内研讨会。每次都有来自日本各地的50至100名研究人员参加，研讨会在这一领域的进展中发挥了重要作用。专题讨论会的题目和地点如下：2001年在大阪市立学院举办的“地位差距与传统城市”，2002年在东京大学举办的“消费的社会空间史”，2003年在东京大学举办的“传统城市的结构划分”，以及2004年在东京大学举办的“东亚古城研究”。

The traditional city, with its individual regional variations, constitutes the historical foundation of the contemporary city. The present research is an attempt to develop a typology of the form and nature of the traditional city. Particularly through focusing upon the distinctive features of the components of its socio-spatial structure. Under the framework of the 2001-2004 research plan, we achieved the following results :1.Basic research on traditional cities. These are collected together in the Nenpo Toshishi Kenkyu (Urban History Annual Review), vols. 10-13.2.Survey and data collection on traditional cities. In particular we acheived significant results with "Jundate-cho" (of the Tokyo City Government of Meiji-period) ; "Okamoto-ke Monjo" (in Omi-Sakamoto, Shiga); the "lida-joka Ezu Shiryo" ; and materials relating to the plazas, bridges, and temples and shrines in Edo.3.Conducted three international symposia abroad. These were conducted at Erfurt, Germany, in 2001, at the New Hall College, Cambridge University, UK in 2003, and at Cortona, Italy in 2004. Each conference had its own theme and contributed to comparative understanding of the history of traditional cities. The workshops attracted 50 to 80 researchers on average.4.Conducted four domestic symposia in Japan. Each time 50 to 100 researchers from across Japan attended and the symposiums played a significant role in the progress of this area. The titles and locations of the symposia were as follows : "Status Margins and Traditional Cities" at Osaka City College in 2001,"The Socio-spatial History of Consumption" at Tokyo University in 2002,"Structural Divisions of Traditional Cities" at Tokyo University in 2003,and "Studies on Ancient Cities of East Asia" at Tokyo University in 2004.
