Abstract

We try to clarify the factors that cause the difference of residents'evaluation on environmental functions of forest, based on the questionnaire survey on Kanagawa and Chiba prefecture. They were carried out in 1987 (Kanagawa) and 1988 (Chiba) by mail. The effective sample ratio were 27.5% (Kanagawa), 27.4% (Chiba). The contents of survey were 1) the recognition of forest in their daily life, 2) evaluation of “the degree of usefulness” of each function (lanbscape, being close with nature, conserving traditional culture. maintaining better physical condition), and the reason of usefulness, 3) general evaluation of each area, 4) profile of respondent.To analyze difference between 5 areas (Yokohama, Eastern Kanagawa, Western Kanagawa, Utibou, Sotobou), we use t-test and analysis of variance. The results were, 1) the score of Sotobou significantly differs from those of other areas, especially “landscape” score, “close with nature” score, 2) up to the profile ratio, there are also some differences between the Sotobou and other areas, especially, the 65-years-old member of family, living same place upper 20 years, upper 6 person of family, residential condition (not apartment), job (farmer), born place (not urban). Some of them appears similarly in Western area, 3) the effect of each profiles on evaluation score is smaller than factor of Sotobou, according to the result of analysis of variance. The “generation” and “residential condition” are significantly effective in 4 functions.The purpose of this paper is to analyze the rural planning in the pioneering community developed after the war in Hokkaido. We research the case of Asajinodaichi of the Souya region. The development for dairy farming started here, with stock of social overhead capital and the organization lacked.We analyze the process of the rural planning from the standpoint of formation of social overhead capital and organization of the comminity. Striking is the fact that social overhead capital has been invested by the policy for dairy farming production base, and the organization also has been formed through the dairy farmer's group. Therefor, the problems with various contents on the pioneering ground has been resolved within the framework of the dairy farming problem.Which is one of typical patterns of the rural planning in the post-war days in japan.The statistical results show the structural difference of forest recognition between Sotobou and other areas. To make the difference clarify, we applied factor analysis on “the reason of usefulness”. The result shows some difference between areas, the most important point is the recognition of traditional and cultural function of forests. The result seems to imply activities of traditional community. And that causes the necessity of different management system for each area.
