| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims to clarify who is responsible for the costs of the prevention and control of invasive alien species, as specified in Japan’s Invasive Alien Species Act. Using specific examples of invasive alien species, this study covered the agricultural utilization of Bombus terrestris and the control of Ludwigia grandiflora ssp. grandiflora. Regarding the former, which is used as a pollinator, it was revealed that tomato producers have incentive to bear prevention costs. As for the latter, the factors governing control activities by volunteers were examined and it was found that financial support by the public administration is effective in increasing the sustainability of control activities.
