Abstract

This study aims to identify the characteristics of “bread-and-butter” landscapes,indispensable landscapes commonly experienced in daily lives, represented as important components of their regional identity by local residents. Three semi-structured group interview surveys were conducted in Aizu-wakamatsu in Fukushima Prefecture, and interview texts obtained were then analyzed by applying the text mining approach. The study identified; (a) “bread-and-butter” landscapes are explained in terms of time distance and physical behaviors, (b) relationships between “bread-and-butter” landscapes and ordinary behaviors are not frequently referred as important components of their regional identity by local residents, and (c) “bread-and-butter” landscapes such as shrines and mountains in the neighborhood are frequently referred as important components of their regional identity by residents in rural areas.
