In the present research, the expansion of bamboo stands is viewed as the expansion of regional landscape resources. Here we derived the types of fundamental conditions and utilization conditions for regional typology for the purpose of systematic conservation of rural landscapes through the utilization of bamboo stands. Oita prefecture, which contains an outstanding number of bamboo stands even on the background of the high number of bamboo stands nationwide, was chosen as the target research area. Consequently, we derived the utilization conditions for bamboo and bamboo stands by examining and understanding the historical aspects of bamboo as well as the topographical aspects of bamboo stands and the relations between bamboo stands on one hand and settlements and roads on the other. As a result, it was found that bamboo stands are categorized as 'easy for utilization', 'feasible for utilization' and 'difficult for utilization' with respect to their utilization by humans, and we determined the target people for the utilization of each type. In this research, the effective fundamental conditions were classified for the purpose of examining the utilization methods for each area in the future. Furthermore, it was considered that bamboo and bamboo stands comprise area-specific landscape resources in agricultural areas, as well as that the landscape resulting from their utilization represents the specific landscape of the area.
