| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In recent years, an image of degraded low vegetation has been presented in pre-modern Japanese forests, but there have been few research results based on fieldwork. The purpose of this research is to elucidate the actual conditions of areas with low vegetation.
As a method, we selected two villages from Kosei (Kitahira, Otsu City) and Koto region (Minamitsuda, Omihachiman City), and Okishima island (Okishima-cho, Omihachiman City), which have contrasting vegetation environments, and compared the history of vegetation use and management in these villages. As a result, we positioned the problem of resource depletion and overuse as a form of so-called "satoyama" in pre-modern and modern Japan. Although the forms of utilization of shibayama (mountain for collecting firewood) and hageyama (treeless mountain) are not sustainable, it has become clear that they are not regionally unique and exceptional cases.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では、いわゆる里山における植生利用が「持続的な利用」とは異なる形態の不安定なものであったこと、同時にそれは地域的に特殊で例外的な事例ではないことを明らかにした。一般に里山といえば、日本の自然環境の原風景を示すものとして牧歌的に受け止められやすいが、その現実は過剰利用によって荒廃した山林で構成されていたという事実は一定の社会的意義を有する知見であると考えられる。さらに石材採取にともなう低植生の問題、山地の荒廃にともなう災害のリスクに対応する在来知の生成など、新規の研究課題が数多く見出された意義も小さくないと考えられる。
