  • National Forests in Hokkaido
    National Forests in Hokkaido Did you know? National forests belong to everyone. The Hokkaido Regional Forest Office is responsible to take care of these precious forests. Hokkaido Regional Forest Office Outline of National Forests in Hokkaido Hokkaido is one of Japan’s leading forestlands, with forests accounting for 22% of the total forestlands of Japan. Hokkaido’s National forests account for over 50% of the total forestlands of Hokkaido, which include Mt. Daisetsu, the Hidaka Mountains and other major mountain ranges, creating one of the richest ecosystems in Hokkaido. Hokkaido’s National forests are comprised of coniferous trees (Sakhalin fir and Sakhalin spruce) and broad-leaved trees (Japanese oak, birch and Painted maple), providing seasonally changing views. Forests have various functions such as providing timbers, conserving national land and water resources, absorbing and storing carbon dioxide (a cause of global warming) and providing habitats for wildlife and recreational areas for people. Forests represent valuable assets for us human beings.

    Knowledge Co-Creation Program (Group & Region Focus) GENERAL INFORMATION ON GENERAL MANAGEMENT FOR REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING 課題別研修「地域開発計画管理」 JFY 2017 No: J1704093 / ID: 1784769 Phases in Japan: From October 9 to November 25, 2017 This information pertains to one of the JICA Knowledge Co-Creation Program (Group & Region Focus) of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), which shall be implemented as part of the Official Development Assistance of the Government of Japan based on bilateral agreement between both Governments. ‘JICA Knowledge Co-Creation Program (KCCP)’ as a New Start In the Development Cooperation Charter which was released from the Japanese Cabinet on February 2015, it is clearly pointed out that “In its development cooperation, Japan has maintained the spirit of jointly creating things that suit partner countries while respecting ownership, intentions and intrinsic characteristics of the country concerned based on a field-oriented approach through dialogue and collaboration. It has also maintained the approach of building reciprocal relationships with developing countries in which both sides learn from each other and grow and develop together.” We believe that this ‘Knowledge Co-Creation Program’ will serve as a center of mutual learning process. 1/22 I. Concept Background Regional development needs to be planned comprehensively and locally feasible. Needless to say, once it is planned, it is expected to be actually implemented, in the world where tiny percentage of people in major metropolitan areas enjoy the fruits of growth, while majority of people in the regions are left behind, i.e. regional disparity is widening. The importance of those processes must be taken into serious considerations, since even in urban areas, increasing number of residents are suffering from inappropriate land use, degradation of living environment, transportation congestion, insecurity and slams due to inappropriate management of once built infrastructure and population inflow from other regions.
