Abstract

The objective of this paper is to investigate empirically the fire preventing functions expected in the urban open space of Edo era through a simulation study of fire insulation effects calculated for the hypothetical fire based on the old maps of Edo and related historic documents. It was made clear that the urban open space of Edo era were arranged with the forms adaptable respectively to the functions of preventing either growth of the fire size or spread of conflagration, and of protecting bridges and gateways to secure the evacuation routes.
