@phdthesis{oai:mie-u.repo.nii.ac.jp:00014715, author = {山本, 真人}, month = {Mar}, note = {application/pdf, In Japan, depopulation is progressing in many areas. In Mie Prefecture, development policies such as road building are sometimes adopted as promotion measures. On the other hand, there are movements to consider the conservation of local resources and the influence on the ecosystem services of satoyama and satoumi. In addition, Action 5 of the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020 calls for mapping of ecosystem services. From a regional disparity viewpoint, Mie Prefecture is referred to as a microcosm of Japan. Although there are some examples of assessments which include mapping of ecosystem services, they have not been conducted in Mie Prefecture. Therefore, in this thesis I present assessments of ecosystem services which are divided into the following two sections. The first section is an assessment of ecosystem services using five indicators. This section is the first attempt to comprehensively map ecosystem services in Mie Prefecture. Mappings of ecosystem services were performed for agricultural outputs as provisioning services, rates of forested areas as regulating services, the number of tourists and rates of city park areas as cultural services, and the diversities of plant communities as supporting services. The mappings were also performed for their changes. Each mapping was conducted at the municipal level prior to the latest municipal mergers, or at every natural park. The results suggest that values of provisioning services were high in the northern areas of Mie Prefecture, but the situation has changed in recent years. In addition, it was estimated to have increased in some municipalities in recent years, although the overall trend was downward. Values of regulating services were higher in the southern mountainous areas. In many municipalities, values of regulating services turned from decrease to increase after 1997. The number of tourists as cultural services was higher in the natural parks located in the northern areas. It has decreased in natural parks located in both the northern and southern areas of Mie Prefecture, especially in the southern area. Recent data show that there are scattered municipalities with high tourist numbers in both the northern and southern areas. Therefore, the difference between the number of tourists in the northern area and the southern area may have become smaller. The rates of city park areas as cultural services were higher in the northern area. The diversities of plant communities as supporting services were higher in the northern areas than in the southern areas. This section suggests that the conservation of natural vegetation in the southern areas is required, since supporting services are considered to affect all ecosystem services. The second section is an assessment of ecosystem services based on Group in Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services (CICES). In Mie Prefecture, there are few studies on the relationship between land use, forest type, and hotspots of ecosystem services based on a large amount of information. Therefore, based on CICES, mapping of ecosystem services using a total of 17 indicators, including indicators based on Mapping and Assessment of Ecosystems and their Services (MAES), Japan Satoyama-Satoumi Assessment (JSSA), Japan Biodiversity Outlook 2 (JBO2), and original considerations. Furthermore, hotspot analyses for ecosystem services were conducted and relationships between the hotspots and the results of vegetation surveys were examined. As a result, spatial heterogeneities of each ecosystem service in the study area based on CICES were clarified. Hotspots of provisioning services were mainly distributed in the northern and central areas, while coldspots were distributed in the Kii Mountains in the Kisei-Higashikishu area. Hotspots for regulating services were mainly located around the Kii Mountains in the Kisei-Higashikishu area, and coldspots were located in the Ise Plain and Ueno Basin in the Chubu, Hokubu, Ise-Shima and Iga areas. Hotspots of cultural services were mainly located in the Chubu and Ise-Shima areas, and coldspots were located in coastal areas of the Hokubu, Chubu and Ise-Shima areas, mountainous areas such as the Kii Mountains in the Kisei-Higashikishu area, and from the Ueno Basin to the Nunobiki Mountains in the Chubu and Iga areas. Various hotspots contain a large forest area. In particular, afforested areas were widespread in all hotspots of ecosystem services. This suggests that forests, including afforested areas, are important for ecosystem services in Mie Prefecture. There were extensive overlaps between the areas of high ecosystem services identified in the first section and the hotspots of ecosystem services identified in the second section. This indicates that there is some validity in the selection method of the indicator in the first section. In the first section, the diversities of plant communities as supporting services was low in the southern part of the study area, suggesting the need for the conservation of vegetation other than Japanese cedar and Japanese cypress. On the other hand, when a larger volume of indicators was used in the assessment as the second section, afforested areas occupied the largest rates of areas in all hotspots. This suggests that afforested areas contribute to ecosystem services. In this study, the status of ecosystem services in Mie Prefecture was clarified. In addition, it enabled this thesis to provide materials to support the validity of the Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) and contributes to obtaining information about where to apply it in a focused manner., 本文/三重大学大学院生物資源学研究科, 131p}, school = {三重大学}, title = {国際比較可能な分類に基づいた地域スケールでの生態系サービスの評価-三重県を例にして-}, year = {2022}, yomi = {ヤマモト, マコト} }
