本研究では風景観の変遷が時代の社会背景とは不可分であることを念頭において、中国の風景観の変遷を各時代の社会背景に合わせながら考察し、風景の「発見」によって観光地が成立・発展していくという総合的な関係を解明することを、研究の目的にした。
本論文においては、中国人の風景観を、紀元前の先秦時代にさかのぼり、先秦時代から近代までを6段階にわけ、それぞれの時代において、旅行を促進する政治体制、思想・宗教などの社会的背景のほかに、漢字、印刷、山水画、詩文などのメディアが国民に与える影響を、克明に分析をしつつ、その時代の風景観を明らかにした。さらに、その風景観が反映した観光地の事例として、廬山と西湖を取上げ、それぞれの地域における風景の発見と観光地形成を明らかにするとともにそのことを具体的に検証した。風景観の変遷と観光地形成との結びつきについての研究は、観光研究において意義があると位置づける。
