Abstract

This chapter considers landscape management labor accounts of a variety of the urban greenspaces in a middle city within an urban landscape: Matsusaka Chuo District, Matsusaka City, Mie Prefecture. Matsusaka Chuo District flourished as a castle town, and in the district, there are many tourist spots such as Matsusaka Castle, small historical towns with traditional wooden houses and wide residential sites with rich green spaces in the western part. The eastern part of the district consists of central shopping streets with a railway station and residential areas. In this chapter, the management of private gardens within historical heritage housing sites, green areas of temples, and the management of small rivers that flow throughout the district are considered.
