Abstract—Streetlights are very necessary for security of
residents at night and for night townscape also in traditional
towns, although they were originally unequipped when the towns were built especially before the middle of the 19th century.
and their installations have been not well-considered for traditional values of the towns in Japan. To plan streetlights in a traditional town, fundamental issues and procedures including residents’ perception should be clarified. This research attempts to reveal problems on a traditional area as a fundamental study for installation of streetlights in traditional towns.
Index Terms—Illumination, safety, streetlight, traditional
town.
