Proposal for a Simplified and Wide-Area Survey Method on Groups of Machiya Using the Internet Map Function

The number of Machiya has been steadily declining year by year, highlighting the urgent need to rapidly assess their current status across various regions. This study aims to propose a survey method that leverages internet-based mapping function to investigate the remaining conditions and design characteristics of Machiya groups. By adopting a standardized research framework and analysis methodology, this approach enables data collection on Machiya groups from a national perspective within a relatively short timeframe.
