明治以降の寺地の変化には、公的要因として上地と下戻しの他、震災と戦災後の復興計画による区画整理と墓地移転、都市計画による道路の敷設や拡幅があり、個別要因としては寺地の移転、檀家構成の変化、寺地の運用などがある。寺地に限らずとも、江戸の都市はこれらの度重なる要因によって用途や境界•領域が変貌し続けており、現在もなお進行している。しかし、高密化を続ける都市のなかで、現在まで維持されてきた寺院境内と墓地は、今後も継続して維持され得る貴重なオープンスペースといえる。%This study uses historical maps and data to research the Buddhist temple area in Nishi-Asakusa. The temple and graveyard areas of the Edo, Meiji periods and the present day are layered on a map, and the overlapping images are analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the following findings are observed: 1. According to the Gofunai-Jisha-Bikou, 90 temples existed in this area in the early 18th century. 2. A comparison between the Kanei-Edo and the Meireki-Edo maps, indicates that the temple area in Nishi-Asakusa greatly expanded after the Great Fire of Meireki. 3. Almost all temples were moved from Edo's central area during the Edo Castle expansion and the reconstruction following the Great Fire of Meireki. 4. In the Meiji and Taisho periods, each temple area had six types of resistered holders: (a). the temple's precincts, (b). government precincts, (c). personal precincts, (d). the temple's graveyard, (e). government graveyards, and (f). personal graveyards. 5. Of 90 temples, 47 were still existent in this area in 2010.
