  • Annual Report on the Environment in Japan 2003 Published By: Ministry of the Environment Translated By: Ministry of the Environment Published in January 2004
    � AnnualAnnual ReportReport onon thethe EnvironmentEnvironment inin JapanJapan 20032003 Local Communities Leading the Transition to a Sustainable Society Ministry of the Environment To Our Readers This booklet was compiled based on the Quality of the Environment in Japan 2003 (White Paper), an annual report on the environment by the Government, published in accordance with a Cabinet decision made on May 30, 2003. The content of this booklet was edited to gear to a wider readership. The theme of this year’s White Paper is “Local Communities Leading the Transition to a Sustainable Society.” It introduces that daily voluntary activities carried out in local communities mark the first step in the transition to a sus- tainable society. The White Paper first shows the close interaction of the environment, society and economy, and the seriousness of the deterioration of the global environment. The Paper demonstrates that steady efforts at the individual and community levels will be essential for resolving global environmental problems. Individual actions are explored with an emphasis on the idea that if more individuals pursue environment-conscious activities, their activities will influence other actors, such as the government and businesses, and make it possible to reform the socio-economy as a whole. Initiatives by local communities are also examined. The Paper concludes that transition to a sustainable society is possible by (1) rais- ing the awareness of the whole community and building capacity (local environmental capacity) for the creation of a better environment and a better community, and (2) creating a model for protecting the environment and reinvigorating the community at the same time, and spreading the practice to other communities.

To address the issue, we are conducting a comprehensive research in the Tsugaru Mountains and surrounding areas at the northernmost of Honshu. The Tsugaru Peninsula consists of the NS~NNW-SSE extending Tsugaru Mountains (about 50 km-long, 10 -15 km-wide) and the hills and lowlands. As a fault zone related to the formation of the Tsugaru Mountains, there are the Tsugaru fault, the Aomoriwan-Seigan Fault zone, the Tsugaru-Sanchi-Seien Fault zone. It is considered that asymmetric shape of the Tsugaru Mountains was formed due to uplift and shortening accompanying these fault activities. However, compared with the scale of the mountainous area, the range where the active fault is recognized is short, there is also the possibility of extending further north. On the other hand, on the southern side of the Tairadate Mountains, hills with constant height spread to Sotogahama and Yomogita. The Negishi-Seihou Fault existing eastern portion of Tairadate Mountains may also be continuous to the south (including the marine area).

I made observations on the species on Shimokita and Tsugaru Peninsulas which are the northernmost parts of mainland Honshu. The species was frequently found in both peninsulas and occurred in areas lower than 60 m in altitude. According to the IUCN Redlist, the species breeds from 600 m to 1,500 m. Since it can be found in the areas lower than 600 m on Shimokita, Tsugaru and elsewhere, IUCN’s description needs to be rectified. Considering the occurrence in a wide range of altitudes, the population of the Japanese yellow bunting may be larger than once believed. K ey words northern Japan, altitudinal distribution, habitat, IUCN Redlist Introduction The Japanese yellow bunting Emberiza sulphurata is a small passerine bird species belonging to the family Emberizidae (Fig. 1). The species is known to breed only in Japan. It is distributed and breeds mainly in northern Japan. There is no breeding record from Hokkaido. It used to be thought to breed in limited areas such as Mt. Fuji. However, it has recently become known that the species is fairly common in northern Japan, especially in the Fig.

  • Paleosols Distributed in Marine Terraces in the Goshogawara Area, Aomori Prefecture, Northeast Japan
    HCG23-P03 JpGU-AGU Joint Meeting 2020 Paleosols distributed in marine terraces in the Goshogawara area, Aomori Prefecture, Northeast Japan *Aya Omata1, Kohki Yoshida2 1. Division of Science and Technology, Graduate School of Shinshu University, 2. Department of Geology, Faculty of Science, Shinshu University The paleosol suggests the climatic conditions in the past because major soil groups are formed and affected by the normal soil forming action of climate. Already, Matsui and Kato (1962) reported the existence of red paleosols distributed in the wide area in Japanese Islands, from Kyushu to the northern end of Honshu, and discussed its implications. In particular, the existence of red paleosol in the Tsugaru Peninsula, located at the northern end of Honshu island, is important in discussing the spread of past warm climatic conditions during the last interglacial period. At the foot of the Tsugaru Mountains, marine terraces formed during the last interglacial period widely developed (Azuma, 1995). In this study, we examined paleosol layers intercalated in the terrace located from Iizume, Goshogawara-city, to Nakasato, Nakadomari-machi, Aomori Prefecture. In the field, the soil color was described using the Munsell soil color chart, and sedimentary facies was described for reconstruction of sedimentary environments. As a result, the sedimentary environments in the study area was divided into channel, river floodplain, and lake facies. It is conceivable that the lake facies was formed as a part of the river sedimentary facies since the lake facies is located at the top of the floodplain facies and the bottom of the river channel facies. In this study area, 7.5YR brown soil layer have the majority, and only 5YR red soil layer was found at one site.
