  　View Summary

  As a consequence of the rapid development of nature reserves in China, conflicts between nature protection and local economic development threaten ecological diversity and hinder economic development. The primary purpose of this study is to identify stakeholders involved in the conservation of the Wuyishan National Nature Reserve (NNR) and to clarify any conflicts among them. In the Wuyishan NNR, bamboo and black tea production are the principal industries. Several conflicts were discovered among the stakeholders in the Wuyishan NNR at varying degrees. A major conflict was identified between the Administrative Bureau, local township government, and the village committee regarding issues such as inadequate infrastructure maintenance, ecocompensation monetary values, and wildlife protection. Medium-scale conflicts exist between the Administrative Bureau and local stakeholders from the township government, the village committee, business owners, and farmers. Furthermore, not to be ignored, a minor conflict between farmers and a large number of migrant workers currently engaged in tea farming and bamboo forest management is also contributing to instability of the nature reserve's forestland management. At the same time, stakeholders consider ecotourism development as a means to improve the economic situation of the Wuyishan NNR.

• Legal protection of agricultural and forestal lands

  Ikuo Ota, Chiharu Maeda, and Marek Geszprych ( Part: Multiple Authorship ,  Legal and Political Aspects of Agricultural and Forest Land Conservation in Japan )

  National Institute for Spatial Management and Housing, Poland  2018.04

  　View Summary

  Japan is a forest rich country. Forests cover 67% of the land area. Because of the steep topography, forests on the slopes are very important for landslide protection and soil erosion control as well as water holding function. Therefore, the Japanese people have been making great efforts to sustain the forest and natural vegetation. At the same time, places suitable for residential and arable land are limited, and aagricultural areas cover only 12% of the land. Conservation of agricultural and forest land has been one of the most important policy issues in the history of this country. The authors describe the features of land use and historical development of several legislations related to the conservation of agricultural and forest land in Japan. Keywords: Agricultural Land Act, conservation forest, Forest Law, landslide protection, soil erosion control, water holding function
