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. -

Systematic Catalog of Japanese Chrysomelidae12
Pacific Insects 3 (1) : 117-202 April 20, 1961 SYSTEMATIC CATALOG OF JAPANESE CHRYSOMELIDAE12 (Coleoptera) By Michio Chujo3 and Shinsaku Kimoto4 INTRODUCTION The Chrysomelidae (leaf beetles) is one of the largest groups of Coleoptera. About 30,000 species of this family have been described from the world. All of them are phy tophagous and some of them are serious injurious insects. Taxonomic studies of this group are important in connection with agricultural and forest entomology. In spite of the need, a complete catalog of Japanese Chrysomelidae has not yet been published. Since 1956, we have worked on a systematic catalog of Japanese Chrysomelidae. Kimoto spent from September to November 1959 working on type specimens of Far Eastern Chrysomelidae in continental United States and Europe as Bishop Museum Fellow in Ento mology, after his one and a half years stay in Hawaii, working on Chinese Chrysomelidae. A revisional paper on type specimens in United States and European Museums, is planned by Kimoto. The scope of this paper is Japan, the Ryukyu Is., and small neighboring islands. In regard to applied entomology, food plants are also listed. Many of the new combinations or status or synonymies are based on Kimoto's studies of type specimens. After Hornstedt, 1788, studies on Japanese Chrysomelidae have been made by various workers. In the latter half of the 19th century, studies on Japanese fauna were made by Motschulsky, Harold, Kraatz, Baly, Jacoby, Boheman, Weise and other workers, especially Baly and Jacoby. Those works were chiefly descriptions of new genera and species. Most of the Japanese species were described during this period. -

Shikoku Island, which is found in the southwest of Japan, is one of the most landslide prone areas because of heavy typhoon rainfall, complex geology and the presence of mountainous areas and low topographic features (valleys).Yanase and Naka Catchments of Shikoku Island in Japan were chosen as a study area. Frequency Ratio Densisty (FRD), Logistic Regression (LR) and Weights of Evidence (WoE) models were applied in a GIS environment to prepare the landslide susceptibility maps of this area. Data layers including slope, aspect, profile curvature, plan curvature, lithology, land use, distance from river, distance from fault and annual rainfall were used in this study. In FR method, two models were attempted but the FRD model was found slightly better in its performance. In case of LR method, two models, one with equal proportion and the other with unequal proportion of landslide and non-landslide points were carried out and the one with equal proportions was chosen based on its highest performance. -

The spatial distribution of cities, landscape change and Title traditional agriculture in the Tokushima region Author(s) HAGIWARA, Hachiro CIRAS discussion paper No.90 : Lifetime of Urban, Regional Citation and Natural Systems: examining examples from Brazil and Japan (2019), 90: 49-57 Issue Date 2019-03 URL https://doi.org/10.14989/CIRASDP_90_49 © Center for Information Resources for Area Studies, Kyoto Right University Type Research Paper Textversion publisher Kyoto University The spatial distribution of cities, landscape change and traditional agriculture in the Tokushima region Hagiwara Hachiro Faculty of Management and Information Science, Shikoku University Abstract Tokushima Prefecture is located on the eastern side of Shikoku Island, and 80% of its area is mountain- ous with 75% of the soil surface covered with trees. In the 1950’s period, the local population in such rural mountainous areas reached its peak. In Tokushima and across Japan, people needed to develop agricultural fields even on the steep slopes, and tried to grow rice by making terraced paddy fields, by piling stones vertically. Since the Rapid Economic Growth period, which began in the middle of 1950’s, people started to leave their home villages and move to urban areas for work. When they left their agricultural fields, they planted cedar trees, because cedar wood was sold at a high price at that time. Decades later, however, the cedar lumber price dropped due to the increase in the importation of cheaper woods. Abandoned cedar trees continued to grow covering the former agricultural fields. Today, many villages in mountainous areas of Tokushima are at risk of extinction due to the falling pop- ulation and aging (genkai shūraku).
