| Research Abstract |
The result of Investigation 7) -8): As a result of the investigation in Chiba Prefecture Kamogawa City Ooyama-senmaida, there was a technique for executing the experiential activity by the cooperation among the executive organization, the volunteer's university student, and Chiba-nature school. As a result of the investigation intended for prominent terrace paddy fields (N=17) in Nagano Prefecture, this investigation discovered the example of executing the experiential activity more than the past investigation. In addition, the approval factor of the experiential activity was facilities maintenance, talent securing, and local manager's intentions.
It was thought that these were important for the maintenance management of the vegetation of the meadow in the levee on the terrace paddy field.
The result of Investigation 6): Avifauna in the terrace paddy field was principally composed by woodlands, woodland verges, cultivated fields and waterside species. The terrace paddy field are composed by the levee and the rice field where birds obtain abundant resource of food. The meadows and woodlands are good for breeding of birds. Therefore, it was suggested that it be a suitable environment for birds' habitat.
