ABSTRACT

Taking the cultural geography point of view, by comparing the terms of historic urban landscapes, historic urban, urban landscapes, cultural heritage, this study defines the historic urban landscapes, which concerning more about the relationship between the people and the place. It should be composed of the physical elements and the non-physical elements integrally instead of dimidiated.
Recurring to the existence philosophy, we know that the interaction of the local people to the historical urban. Because they lived in the designated space from cradle to grave in generations, they conteracted with the space more tightly than others through their rationality, feelings and meanings.
By means of the humanism methodology, this study poses the people as the main body experiencing the space, and taking the people's activity and the feelings corresponding to the time and the space, drawing the elements of the landscape as the event, the memory, the perception etc. Which effect the local people and the space. We can gain the three types in historic urban landscapes: the first is the ordinary landscapes, it covering the people's ordinary living landscapes such as the residence, the working spaces, the commuting paths, the retails, the wells etc; the second is the incident landscapes, where some unformal intercourses and klatch imposed on the private and group happened; the third is the memorial landscapes, where some great public events like the ancestor and god worshipping, festival celebrating taking place, it will take great effect on the local people. The three landscape elements established the integrity of the historic urban landscapes.
Taking the case of the Lijiang town and the historic center in Beijing, we analyzing their similarities and differences in their landscape structure, find that under the different cultural background and scale, historic urban landscapes showed different landscape structure, and the people and the place shouldn't be separated in the conservation.
