This paper aims to clarify the framework of the image of places in contemporary society through the analysis of words on sightseeing brochures of the towns which promote themselves as Shokyoto (little Kyoto). These towns attempt to enhance their historical value by borrowing the image of Kyoto, old Japanese capital city. They have obtained unique historical image which have transformed from that of Kyoto. Local governments and tourist offices of these towns have published sightseeing brochures to express their historical attractions. Therefore, the framework of their image can be read from them. Firstly, the contents of historical attraction of each town were examined from two aspects of words on sightseeing brochures; Value Objects and their history (Fig. 1, 2 and 3, Table 1 and 2). Hierarchical relations between Value Objects were considered to capture the whole historical attraction of each town, which are composed of all Value Objects in each sightseeing brochure. These relations were analyzed from the context and the appearance frequency of Value Objects in the text, we found 56 groups of hierarchically-linked Value Objects (Value Groups) (Fig. 4 and 5). Consequently, a set of Value Groups can be recognized as the whole historical attraction of each town from words on the sightseeing brochures. Secondly, according to the content of Value Object which is on the top of hierarchy, the characters of each Value Group were classified into following four categories; whole-of-town type, space-of-town type, life-in-town type, and periphery-of-town type. Space-of-town type and life- in-town type were classified further into four categories; linear-space type, spotted-space type, activity type and article type (Fig. 6). Thirdly, in order to capture the whole historical attraciton of each town, the set of Value Groups in each sightseeing brochure was considered, and 6 patterns were extracted (Table 3). We found characteristic relations between combinations of Value Groups and geographical distribution of the towns; towns located to the east of Kyoto tend to include whole-of-town type, and towns located to the west of Kyoto tend to include space-of-town type. These results suggest the difference of the meaning of Kyoto between eastern and western part of Japan. Finally, all the results above were compared with those of Koedo (little Edo), which were investigated in the previous report (Fig. 7, 8, 9 and 10). As a result, characteristic frameworks of the image of Shokyoto and Koedo were found relatively: The pattern which consists of several whole-of-town types (pattern ウ), and the pattern which includes periphery-of-town type (pattern P) were peculiar to Shokyoto. Meanwhile, the pattern which consists of single life-in-town type (pattern III), and the pattern which consists of several space-of-town types ( pattern IV) were peculiar to Koedo. These results suggest distinctive frameworks of the image of Shokyoto and Koedo: The framework of Shokyoto is a metaphorical image of Kyoto, which overlook the whole character of the town. On the other hand, the framework of Koedo is a metonymic image of Edo, which highlights either spatial or cultural character of the town.
