Outline of Final Research Achievements	To realize biodiversity conservation and coexistence with wildlife, it is important to evaluate biodiversity spatially and qualitatively. In this study, I examined bird biodiversity using acoustic analysis and evaluated maintenance mechanism of bird diversity and bird/landscape patterns relationships in Ebetsu, Hokkaido. As a result, 47 species were confirmed at 32 patches (120 survey sites) in Ebetsu. The diversity of birds in Ebetsu city was supported by larger forest than inhomogeneity. The maintenance mechanism of the bird diversity was influenced by the size of forest patch rather than the landscape heterogeneity.
