2009.04~2013.03. - A study about the effect and issue of the direct payment system toward for sustainable forest management with multiple functions
keyword : Multiple functions of forest, Direct payment, Forest management plan, Direct payment, Forest law, Forest and Forestry Revitalization Plan
2002.01~2010.03As Basic Law on Forestry was revised in 2001 after 40 years, the policy was changed from emphasising timber production to emvironmental conservation. In 2002, subsidy system was adopted to promote regional activities on forests and this is the first direct payment system for environment in Japan. In this research, comparative analysis is done on the situation of the forest subsidy for each local areas, and its effects and issues are discussed.. - A study about the sustainable regional alliances for mountain village society formation and forest maintenance
keyword : Mountainous village, Community, Depopulation, Regional alliances, Forest conservation
2000.01After the high economic growth, various countermeasures against the low population and regional development were practiced, however, we confronted the problems such as aging or vanishing settlements in 90s. In order to recover it, we need to reconsider the importance of rural villages, to promote participatory approach using local resources, and to cooperate with cities. Empirical study is done on the case of Morozuka Village in Miyazaki, about forest conservation, potential of tourism, reorganization of communities, etc.. - A study about the transformation of forest house management and the issue of forest management
keyword : Forestry household, Farm forestry, Forest ownership, Clear cutting, The re-afforestation abandonment
1993.01The following approach has been done for the forestry workers who produce 50% of woods in Japan. 1) A possibility of family-run forestry from the perspective of productivity, stability, and sociality. 2) A change of their management in accordance with the change of rural economic and demand structure. 3) Resource management problems under the shrinkage of Japanese forest industry.. - A study about the development of the self-governing body forest / the forestry measures in the "decentralization" times
keyword : Local forest management, Local independent measures, A fiscal structure, Forest governance,Decentralization
1998.01There is a wide variety of forest ownership and rural community structures in Japan, and decentralization of authority in the forest policy is required. Since 1990s, local fiscal measurements have been expanded and we can see many unique practices. In this research, comparative analysis is done on the forest policy by local government and its effect. As financial condition is getting strained since the year 2000, we are also going to analyse of its effect on the local measurements and figure out the financial matters on the forestry. .
