Abstract
The inherent worth of visibility from high-rise housing has been actively discussed in recent years. Securing sunshine is also a fundamental and important issue in residential areas. Since visibility and sunshine vary according to various local factors, it is difficult to extract and analyze them in urban areas covered by a number of buildings. In previous research, visibility and sunshine analysis have been carried out under the assumption that the ground surface is a flat plane. However, it is necessary to incorporate geographical relief when conducting 3D urban spatial analysis. In this article, we construct a visibility analysis system, adapt it to a 3D urban surface model, and examine the effects of geographical relief on urban spatial analysis.
