| Research Abstract |
This study clarified the factors of spreading wood burials in Germany comparing with Japanese challenges of them. German wood burial is placed as a new forest use in addition to the multiple public functions of forest. In contrast, Japanese wood burial is a new form of graveyard. In addition to that, German wood burials are managed by private enterprises which contract with forest owners and controlled by foresters in a sustainable nature based forest management. Japanese wood burials have already diversified and some forest type wood burials are managed by Buddhist monk, which face similar challenges in sustainable forest management.
