| Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to clarify the relationship between the location of markets and the spatial structure of historic center in
Beijing of 18th century by network analysis method onto the historic map of Beijing ‘Qianlong-Jincheng-Quantu(乾隆京城全圖)’ produced in
1750. By categorizing the grade of each market, it is revealed that the location of markets in Beijing under Qing Dynasty was not only
decided by the various factors as policy of the regime and traditional social usages but also by the spatial structure of urban space in
historic part of the city. At the same time, the sociopolitical factors and the spatial structure of urban space might influence reciprocally in
defining the physical state of urban space. |
