Towrad the Directions of Environmental Analysis Study of the 88-Direction Method of Gemancy
Geomancy (風水, Fengshui in Chinese) is a geographic idea of the Orient that studies a piece of land (a site) to pursue the healthier and more comfortable life for people seeking a harmony with nature, and also, a practical science. Among the theoretical systems of the traditional geomancy handed down by the scriptures, the compass school (理氣論) makes researches into mountains, winds, the currents and amount of water circulation by using luo-pan (羅盤) for finding spot (穴), and it has been considered that it is the objective and logical analysis system of natural environment of selecting a good site by dividing the vitality of the ground into 12 levels of natural circulation principles and judging its direction by means of 88- direction method. In this context, researcher optimized the logic of 88-direction method by the 12-circulation system (胞胎 法) of the compass school on the basis of directional theory, then after, using GIS analytical tool, researcher performed comparative analysis between the results from land suitability analysis of the subject site and the resulting value of the directional method in geomancy. The results therefrom indicated that more flexible directions and site could be chosen by applying 88-direction method. For the future research, it is required to apply wider variety of variables to the field study and more careful review of the case study with a focus on the 88-directiont method.
