The purpose of this study is to perform a comparative analysis on landscape ordinances between Korea and U.S.A to find out some useful implications for remedial devices on Korean landscape ordinances in terms of their legislation, contents, and operating procedure. The results of this study are as follows; 1) Technical issues addressed by the U.S.A landscape ordinances may be divided broadly into five items(landscaping, planting, facilities, land use, preservation and protection) and subdivided diversely by each item. 2) The thirty four landscape ordinances of U.S.A., collected for this study, were made up of the nineteen comprehensive landscape ordinances(56%), the nine tree ordinances(26%) and the six post construction landscape ordinances(18%) s a result classifying into three types(comprehensive, post-construction, and tree ordinances) of landscape ordinances. 3) The differences in the view of the legislation, contents and practical process in the Korea and the U.S.A. landscape ordinances were to be analyzed comparatively. 4) Whether or not of applying the thirty four landscape ordinances of U.S.A. to the domestic ordinances were reviewed, we found that the twenty eight cases are applicable after study(82%), the four cases are applicable(12%) and the two cases are not applicable(6%) to Korean system. The result of this study will be source materials for the application of the correct regulations in the field of domestic landscape ordinances providing the theoretical system for the legislation of the landscape ordinances which are characterized as the harmonization between the development and the conservation breaking from the existing uniform and the developmental landscape ordinances.
