| Research Abstract |
We surveyed in Nishiawakura-son, Aida-gun, Okayama prefecture, the reasons why small-forest owners are likely to abandon managing their forests. Among the interviewed owners, we found a few who were eager to manage their forests. Even such owners were expected to abandon managing their forests, not only because of economic severe conditions for forestry as has been discussed, but also because their forests were fragile to natural disasters, were difficult to access due to their geographical conditions. Children of the owners were least likely to inherit managing the forests. Accordingly, we should encourage outsiders, such as immigrants and volunteers, could manage abandoned forests, although there were several problems for their contribution to forestry.
