This paper examines the adaptability of a numerical methodology to ecological landscape classification. Saitama Prefecture has been selected as a case study area and municipalities have been taken as basic unit areas. Factor analysis was applied to the data showing an areal percentage of 10 land units and 11 landuse units distributed in 92 municipalities. Seven factors were extracted and they were interpreted by using a rotated factor loading matrix, which suggested the typical combinations of land and landuse. The municipalities were classified into eight landscape types by applying cluster analysis to the factor score matrix, the result of which shows the landscape regionalization of the study area. It was concluded that the result is acceptable and the method could provide a possibility of combining landscape types with socioeconomic characteristics on a municipality basis.
