| Research Abstract |
The number of abandoned small-scale artificial forests has been increasing in recent years in Japan, especially in the depopulated regions. Despite various government policies to deal with these privately-owned forests, owners of small-scale artificial forests often fail to carry out adequate management, particularly, thinning. Insufficient maintenance of artificial forests is likely to increase the risk of mudslides and other natural disasters. Using a social network approach, this study explored how social factors influence the artificial forests management. In particular, this study showed the different types of social networks between the resident and non-resident of depopulated regions, highlighting the importance of social relationships on people's pro-environmental behavior.
