The purpose of this study was to examine how to coexist with black bears in Ishikawa Prefecture, where a record number of black bears appeared in the autumn of 2020, and to understand the current risk perception and coping behavior of prefectural residents, which could serve as a basis for the formation of a coexisting society. In line with the studyʼs objectives, we conducted a questionnaire survey using LINE, which has a high penetration rate, to conduct efficient sampling in rural areas where it is not easy to collect data according to regional characteristics and resident attributes. The survey was conducted in February 2021, with a sample size of 1,742 valid responses from the entire prefecture. Analysis of the obtained data showed that citizensʼ risk perception of bear encounters was increased by the occurrence of bears in their living areas and their experiences of encountering bears. Residents who had bear encounters in their living areas relied on various information sources, had higher knowledge, and took actual encounter avoidance actions when they had experienced encounters. Information communication is needed to stimulate more encounter avoidance behavior, for example, by communicating standards of real encounters.

This study examined how traditional festivals are inherited. The festival reviewed here is traditionally conducted only by locals, but some residents have begun to consider cooperating with outsiders (particularly university students) because of scarcity of labor. There is no consensus on the subject. This study investigated residents’ opinion on cooperating with university students using a questionnaire survey of all households in settlements participating in the festival. Consequently, it was found that following three factors were correlated with the view to collaboration with students. One was an impression that students would be helpful in conducting the festival promoted natural collaboration. Another was the individual cognition of ease to contact with administrative staff and regional leaders. The other was gender.

The purpose of this paper is to quantitatively examine the relationship between eating habits in the home of elementary school children and factors related to their parentsʼ eating attitudes including the home environment. Ordinal logistic regression analysis was performed using the responses of 501 people in their 20 s to 50s who lived in Ishikawa Prefecture and had children of elementary school age as data.The results of the analysis include the following. Children were less likely to be picky when their parents talked more about school lunches (p < 0.001), when they valued homemade tastes (p < 0.05), and when they gave snacks less frequently (p < 0.01). The more parents talked with their children about school lunches (p < 0.001), the more they valued opportunities to eat homemade foods (p < 0.01) and local products (p < 0.05), and the less frequent snacks given (p < 0.01), the less likely their children were to leave leftovers. The more parents talked with their children about school lunches (p < 0.001) and the more they valued the taste of homemade meals (p < 0.01), the more likely their children were to give thanks at meal time. The more frequently parents talked about school meals with their children (p < 0.001), the more likely children were to help with meals when their mothers were employed (p < 0.01). Single mother families, families of three or more generations, and annual household income did not significantly affect childrenʼs eating habits.

Local railway management is facing severe problems in Japan. Especially in rural areas, the number of rail users has decreased since the 1970s not only because of depopulation but also because of rapid motorization. Therefore, many local railway companies have decided to abolish lines that are unprofitable under such difficult conditions. However, although public investment by a municipality is considered indispensable for supporting local railways, research is lacking on the non-market value of local railways as an authority of public investment. It is therefore necessary to clarify certain social situations in relation to the conditions caused with-without and before-after political actions based on a basic policy evaluation. However, this analysis is difficult because local railways as common social capital are highly probable to possess both market and non-market values.In this study, we examined the Hitachi Railway System, which was abolished six years ago, and considered the influence of this abolition on factors such as residents' means of transportation, lifestyles and outlooks. To understand these issues, we conducted a questionnaire survey by mail for a part of residents living near the railroads in rural areas in November 2010. The main items in the questionnaire were concerned with 1) individual attributes of respondents, 2) frequency of travel before the abolition of the railway, 3) possible and actual alternate means of transportation, 4) possible and actual increase or decrease in the frequency of outings, 5) possible and actual increase or decrease in compensation for travel, 6) possible and actual perception of the impact of abolition of the railway on the region, and 7) views for and against abolishing the railway before and after its occurrence. The collection rate was 39 percent.The results of this study were as follows. First, residents with a driver's license and who used the Hitachi Railway had relatively accurate views about the social situations that resulted from abolishing the railway. For example, their views on the frequency of people's outings and compensation for travel were more accurate than persons who did not possess a driver's license or who did not use the railway. Second, there were gaps in transportation convenience with the introduction of substitute or regular buses, and resident views of punctuality. Approximately 10 percent of the respondents that assumed they would use buses as an alternate means of transportation now use a family car or taxi. Third, the abolition of the railway had impacts on the lifestyles of residents regardless of their previous methods of transportation or use of the railway. This suggests that local railways function as a local symbol. On the basis of these results, a discussion that is not confused by fragmentary information or value judgments is needed to determine whether to continue or abolish a railway.JEL Classification: R11

We extracted the communities located in the coastal area and clarified the characteristics of them using the 2015 Agriculture and Forestry Census data and the results of the national census, taking Ehime Prefecture as an example. We categorized them used the employment rate data by industry and analyzed the agricultural area types of the communities included in each type. As a result, of the total 3,284 communities, 628 (19%) were coastal communities, and 23% (340,000) of the population lived there. In addition, from the viewpoint of agricultural area type, it was found that the ratio of hilly agricultural areas is high and agricultural land is often used as upland in coastal communities. As a result of cluster analysis using the ratio of employees by occupation as a variable, coastal communities were classified into 6 clusters. As a result, it was found that in the coastal area, mountainous agricultural communities are areas where fishing industry is thriving, and flatland agricultural communities are mostly citrus-cultivated areas using slopes. The high proportion of hilly agricultural communities is due to the development of relatively large orchards and the narrowness of the forests found on the islands and peninsulas. As a result, the number of communities not included in the mountainous agricultural area increases due to the increase in the cultivated land ratio or the decrease in the forest field ratio. Furthermore, it was found that many communities specializing in primary industry are in areas with high geographical isolation, and that the number of workers per community is small in these communities.

In the process of restoration following the damage caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake, Kumamoto Earthquake, and other disasters, a rapid population shift was seen. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of the risk of Nankai megathrust earthquakes, which are expected to occur within tens of years (with the Pacific coast area of Japan as a hypocenter), on population shift. .Specifically, I considered the effect of residents’ recognition of an area from the viewpoints of safety and resilience on their intention of migration based on the risk of earthquakes. An online survey was conducted in October 2015, and about 6,300 persons living in the prefectures located from Kochi Prefecture to Kanagawa Prefecture responded. As a result of predicting a migration tendency by logistic regression analysis, it became clear that the regional views were specified by various factors, but it was also shown that the regional views had not necessarily influenced a migration intention. Therefore, assuming easily a population influx resulting from the risk aversion of a huge earthquake disaster to a local area needs to be warned. These findings may have great implications for national land planning covering a future wide area.

地域に残る希少価値が高い資源を、その周辺の環境を含めて、後世に伝えるべく如何にして維持保全していくかが、今日の農山漁村の大きな課題である。多くの地域では、資源に関心が高い一部の住民が率先して取り組みをすすめるも、多くの住民の参加が得られないという共通の問題を抱えている。本研究では、海にまつわる環境資源の保全活動を今以上に活性化させたい地域を事例として、地域住民が有する環境資源の保護意識を規定する要因を、空間的指標と心理的指標から検討した。分析の結果、環境保全活動への積極性は、年齢や性別ではなく、海が癒やしの場所であるという認識が共通して強く作用していたことが明らかとなった。その他では、寄付などの経済的な貢献は沿岸部に居住する住民ほど意欲的であり、直接的に環境保全活動に参加する意欲は、海が生業の場である(あった)ことや、自慢の地域資源であるという認識の有無が強く作用していた。

In this research, we tried to verify the role of the administration to invigoration of a less-favored area anew. We selected the Sugiyama district in Maizuru-city as study area, and analyzed the process which the area invigorated paying attention to the action of administration. Result from listening survey uncovered that suitable care of administration was functioning as a important factor behind the Sugiyama district accomplished endogenous development. Although "the new public" which consists of various subjects as a bearer of an area is expected in recent years, we made it clear that the role of administration is still important.

In Japan, serious news that foreign companies have purchased watershed-protected forests has become widely known as a social issue. Consequently, many prefectures are now hurriedly designing Water Source Area Conservation Regulations (WSACR) in response to many concerned foresters who demand legal measures, not because of actual overexploitation but because of the potential risks. These WSACRs require all new owners to submit a plan for buying and using forested areas before completion of a land sale to supplement the revised forest act, which imposes a duty ex post facto to apply for a sale. In fact, no detailed report yet exists regarding the policymaking process of WSACR and situations for WSACR applications.Based on the experiences in Hokkaido with regard to the acquisition of water sources by foreign companies (specifically in the towns of Niseko and Kutchan), the current study seeks to examine the validity of the processes involved in the formulation of WSACR, as well as related to operational challenges for the circum-Hakusan region (comprising the prefectures of Fukui, Ishikawa, Toyama, and Gifu), which yet has no experience with such acquisitions. To approach this problem, data has been gathered through interviews with forest policy officials at the prefectural and municipal levels, with characteristics and procedures relating to WSACR then summarized in detail.Analysis revealed the following points. First, currently, there are no cases for the acquisition of forests in the circum-Hakusan region by foreign companies, and the role of WSACR is defined to be for fact-finding rather than licensing. Accordingly, plans by overseas companies attempting to acquire forests will not be rejected without reason. Second, while criticisms of excessive procedures and regulations have been previously raised in the implementation of conservation regulations, there are currently many who express the converse desire to further strengthen penalties. The reason for this is the desire to eliminate the anxiety that foreign companies will rampantly exploit Japan’s forests. Third, while forest land registries have for the most part yet to be fully clarified, there is a limit to what can be accomplished in this regard at the municipal level.A lesson for the future is to ensure that public opinion about a foreign company buying forested area does not become unnecessarily complicated because of the absence of credible information. It is impossible to regulate overexploitation of forests under the Water Source Area Conservation Regulations, which has been instituted for local governance. If local foresters desire harsher regulations, developing national laws will be the appropriate approach to fulfill their needs.JEL Classifications:Q18, Q23, Q58

This paper focuses on the problems of foreign company acquisition of forests in the water source areas (WSAs) of Japan. We conducted a verification of the hypothesis “Will clarification of land registers and awakening interest in the promotion of collaboration between government and forestry workers lead to the maintenance of stable WSAs ?” Specifically, individual interest in the hypothetical policy scenario for clarification of land registers and strengthening of the connection between government and forestry workers was used as a proxy for the willingness to pay (WTP) policy implementation costs. Moreover, this standard was evaluated through a comparison among regions, taking forest acquisition as the basis. Land ownership of the many forest lands in Japan, including WSAs, is unclear, and the reality is that the work of ascertaining this requires the understanding and cooperation of not only prefectures but also municipalities and local forestry workers. Based on this, we constructed two scenarios. The first scenario was the implementation of “a policy to clarify the unclear forest ownership structure for the conservation of WSAs.” The second scenario consisted of the incorporation of the concept of co-management in forest management and implementation of “a policy related to business development to promote collaboration between government and local forestry workers.” These two scenarios were not meant to function as direct prevention of forest acquisition but rather as a contribution to sound maintenance and management of forest areas extending from the WSAs to mountains near villages. Further, as a form of resident participation in the management of WSAs, we measured and compared the WTP for the costs required for implementing the policy. Data collection was conducted from 2016 to 2017 through internet research. The number of samples of residents in regions with a history of forest acquisition was 1,513, and in regions with no such history, the number was 2,209. The WTP was estimated using the Contingent Valuation Method (CVM), with initial costs of 300 (yen/year per household), 1,000 (yen/year per household), 3,000 (yen/year or household), and 10,000 (yen/year or household). A comparison of the WTP amounts for the two scenarios showed that the WTP of residents of regions with a history of forest acquisition for scenario one was 876 yen, and for regions with no history, the WTP was 776 yen. Similarly, the WTP amounts for residents of regions with a history of forest acquisition for scenario two was 1,851 yen, and for regions with no history, WTP was 1,371 yen. With respect to factors that influenced the WTP, the influence of regional differences was partial and differences in the recognition of individuals had a stronger influence on the WTP than a comparison of regional differences and differences in the recognition of individuals. This study suggests that the estimated WTP is extremely beneficial for the system design of forest policies implemented at the national level or the municipal level.JEL Classification:Q10, Q15, R52

During the depopulation era, the revitalization of rural mountainous areas that continue to shrink is a pressing problem. Under this severe circumstance, it is an essential task for design rural management policy to clarify the mechanisms of development of a vigorous region and construct the support systems for these regions, meaning constructing promotional systems for endogenous development. In this research, we conducted a field survey at Shunran no Sato, where local residents tried to revitalize the village by farm-inn and urban-rural exchange, and to evaluate the significance of consensus building in local development. In this area, the local development was founded upon an agreement by only seven persons under a time pressure to build a consensus. Through consensus building, this area could achieve revitalization even though on the verge of extinction by remarkable depopulation by means of obtaining official support and having the cooperation of local residents. In this paper, we review the merits, demerits, conditions, and important points underlying a prompt action of a rural activation project based on partial agreement for the local, endogenous development.As a result, it was clear that, although partial consensus building prevented the residents and region from various potential losses, it did not prevent some conflicts, specifically those that occurred early in the program. However, the core organization was careful to avoid conflicts. Overall, the style of regional planning in this area was good in terms of avoiding a conflict in early stages and establishing an incentive design in its developing stages.However, we must beware this report's findings, because making light of consensus building corresponds to an abuse of a precautionary principle. As such, to accomplish partial consensus building for the prompt action toward local revitalization, it is necessary to first base the scenarios on rational basis that indicate that the area cannot avoid failing if residents don't agree.

In order to identify problems in rural areas, this study analyzed reports on community support activities in Hyogo Prefecture by using text mining methods.We collected 320 reports on community support activities conducted between 2007 and 2011 in the areas of Tanba, Tajima, and Awaji. After classifying the reports according to their sphere of activity (e.g., a village, several villages, a town), we used text mining methods to identify local problems specific to each level.The main findings were as follows:(1) All three levels shared problems related to children, the elderly, exchanges among local residents, and tourism.(2) At the village level, the management of living environments and farming were the problems.(3) The problem unique to the several-village level was with regard to the elementary schools.(4) At the town level, food and welfare were the local problems.

これまで、農村計画学の体系は形式知を対象にして発展してきたが、現場における計画づくりは少なからず暗黙知に依存していた。本研究の狙いは、ナレッジマネジメントの考え方を農村計画学に導入することによって、農村計画学の新たな方法論を確立することにある。KMの農村計画学への応用可能性は多岐にわたる。本研究において試みた研究課題をナレッジの種類によって分類すると、(1)地区計画づくりのナレッジ、(2)自治体の制度・政策のナレッジ、(3)地域づくりのナレッジ、(4)行政職員のナレッジ、(5)住民の地域ナレッジ、(6)ICTを用いたナレッジベースの構築の6つのグループに分類することができる。
