Abstract:
Coastal forests, which are an important characteristics of many areas, are regarded differently in different areas. It is said this is due to the ease of recognition. This study aims to clarify the differences in the viewpoints of coastal forests between the urban areas of Noshiro and Honjo, Akita Prefecture. Although the coastal forests have existed since the Edo period, the method of urbanization and the way of the viewpoints formation about coastal forests have been different in each area. In Noshiro, there are many places where local residents can see the coastal forest (viewpoints) from the streets, but there are few such places in Honjo. In Noshiro, there are urban facilities or the sights where coastal forests can be seen on the border between the coastal forest and residential areas. The viewpoints have been spreading with the development of urban areas, maintaining the grid structure of the port town. The viewpoints in the streets, urban facilities and the sights are consistent with the location characteristics as a coastal area.

Key Word:
