The Landscape Act was enacted in 2004, the Cultural Properties Protection Law was revised to select important cultural landscapes in 2005, and the Act on Maintenance and Improvement of Traditional Scenery was enacted in 2008. The features of these legal enforcements are to require municipalities to make plans regarding landscape formation and to require local residents and businesses to cooperate in creating fine sceneries. It is important for Japanese society to enhance social concerns on landscape matters as well as advance academic research for settling the regional problems. Thus, this paper aims to discuss the relation between academic perspectives and social concerns on landscape matters by clarifying the current trends on both sides. This paper also aims to discuss the future directions of landscape research. The data sources are academic research papers and Japanese national newspapers published from 2008 to 2013, which covers the period after the laws listed above came into force through the first decade of enactment of the Landscape Act.Through this study, the following two points are noted. The first is that most newspaper articles focus on the conservation or utilization of the landscape regardless of landscape type. For example, articles on rural landscapes describe several conservation methods such as utilizing landscape measures or promoting the agricultural industry. The second is that there are three types of relationships between research papers and newspaper articles: the features of the landscape matters described in both sources, the advancement of academic research that contributes to settling the regional landscape issues, and the subsequent publication of related newspaper articles, although the issues addressed in newspapers cover a much broader area than the focus of academic papers.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the characteristics and problems of the landscapes created by the food industry. This study was conducted in Obihiro Urban Area such as Obihiro, Otofuke, Makubetsu and Memuro. This paper examines methods of improving the food industrial landscapes by using landscape measures. Through this study, there are four points about food industrial landscape. 1. Characteristics of industrial policy varies depending on the phase. 2. The characteristics of local industrial landscape differ depending on the location of the factory. 3. Manufacturing industries have larger green space than non-manufacturing industries because of measures. 4. Factories that limiting demolish by a subsidy system become deteriorated.

Current Status of Management, Production and Stand Structure of Managed Moso Bamboo Forests in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan

The purpose of this study was to clarify the status and problems of the management and stand structure of the Moso bamboo forests in Kagoshima Prefecture. We conducted an interview survey with 2 bamboo forest managers and investigated the stand structures in their bamboo forests, which are located in Aira City and Satsuma Town. It was revealed that density control, fertilization, and mowing in the bamboo forests are carried out regularly. As the result of this management, the stand structure of bamboo forests was revealed as: average culm density 3,917 / ha, average culm diameter at breast height 12.0 cm, 30.6％ of 1-2 years culm; the culm stand was close to regular distribution. However, due to the sluggish demand for bamboo products and the aging of forest labour, the production of bamboo raw materials, especially bamboo shoots, has decreased significantly compared to 10 years ago, which was also considered to be connected with the increase in the density of bamboo culm in the bamboo forests. We concluded from these results that it is necessary to organize and record the information and methods related to management and production accumulated in the long term of bamboo forest management to ensure the sustainability of production, especially if management passes to a new entity in the future. Developing and introducing forestry machines was also expected to be an effective way to save labor costs in a bamboo forest connected with its relative low culm density and regular culm distribution.
