This paper studies the relationships between the landscapes of Seoul and Kaesong and their interpretations based on Feng-Shui, which is a system of thought that originated in China, that is used for selecting the locations for cities, houses, and graves. Most previous Feng-Shui studies mainly addressed Feng-Shui interpretations using two-dimensional maps. However, in this study we consider the visual relationships between actual landscapes and interpretations based on Feng-Shui using a three-dimensional terrain model. Both Seoul and Kaesong have enclosed spaces and were influenced by Feng-Shui in the Korean Peninsula. Both Seoul and Kaesong have visually enclosed spaces, suggesting an outlook of nature that respects the connections of the mountain ranges.
