Tracing of fire-induced soil phosphorus transformations using phosphate oxygen isotope ratio 査読有り国際誌 Open Access

Takuya ISHIDA, Isao HIROTA, Satoshi YOKOYAMA

European Journal of Soil Science 75 巻 ( 5 ) 頁： e13591 2024年10月

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：The British Society of Soil Science

This study demonstrates that phosphate oxygen isotope (δ18OPO4) analysis effectively detects and monitors fire-induced transformation in soil phosphorus (P). Fires increase bioavailable P, potentially limiting primary production in terrestrial ecosystems. However, understanding the effects of fire on soil P dynamics in the field remains challenging due to the interaction between fire spread and soil properties with high spatial heterogeneity. Soil burning experiments were conducted using a surface soil sample collected in central Japan. The soil was burned in an electric furnace from 50 to 550°C for 3 h, and P concentrations and δ18OPO4 values were determined. The results revealed that high temperatures (>350°C) depleted the soil of organic P (Po) and increased labile and stable inorganic P (Pi) concentrations while significantly decreasing δ18OPO4 values. By contrast, low temperatures (150°C) increased labile Pi and Po concentrations without isotopic shift, indicating that low-intensity fires could increase bioavailable P while conserving soil organic matter. These findings indicate that δ18OPO4 analysis can provide insight into the relationship between P transformations and fire intensity and track subsequent changes in P dynamics over time. Our research highlights the potential of δ18OPO4 in predicting and managing postfire ecological and agricultural impacts.

Package tour distribution channels of major Japanese, Chinese, and South Korean travel agents 査読有り国際誌

Zhina NANGONG, Satoshi YOKOYAMA

Journal of Quality Assurance in Hospitality & Tourism 2023年12月

担当区分：最終著者記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：Routledge

This study examines how overseas package tours are designed in China, South Korea, and Japan. It also examines how these tours are arranged between the three countries. The results of in-depth interviews and participant observation showed that the method of creating tours was almost the same across those three countries. However, there were differences in the method of operating tours. In terms of tours from China, Chinese wholesalers prefer other travel agencies as land operators instead of their own foreign subsidiaries; for Japan, they prefer to utilize their foreign subsidiaries; and for South Korea, the wholesaler considers both their subsidiaries and land operators for operating package tours. The concept of “operating power” explains the unique operation of these travel companies. The study concludes that the distribution channels of various package tours are strategically created by wholesalers according to the combination of markets and destinations. It contributes theoretical implications to the study of tourism distribution channels by focusing on regions that have not been included in previous studies. Additionally, it proposes a framework for the process of creating package tours and constructs a concept to explain the diverse ways in which package tours are operated. In terms of practical implications for travel agents, the study provides insights into various tourism distribution channels across different situations.

ラオス中部に位置する天水田稲作農村において，年率2%を超える長期の人口増加と村びとの生業の対応との関連を世代別に明らかにした．1920年代後半に開村した村の第1世代から第4世代まで，生業の要である水田取得が人口増加とともに開田から，相続，そして購入へと変化した．人口増加による土地の余力がなくなってきた第3世代から他の農村への移動が増加した．さらに人口増加が続いた第4世代になってタイへの出稼ぎ専業層の出現によって，人口増加による水田の不足は軽減された．この村における人口増加への対応は，農業生産性の向上，都市への移動ではなく，ラオス中部の水田拡大を背景とした農村間人口移動の加速とタイ出稼ぎの増加であった．そして近年の家族計画普及による人口増加の終焉は，この地域の農村の生業の方向を変えていくであろう．

Transition of farmland use in a Japanese mountainside settlement: An analysis of the residents' career histories 査読有り国際共著

Gen SHOJI, Kunimitsu YOSHIDA, Satoshi YOKOYAMA, Eric C. THOMPSON

A key problem faced by Japanese agriculture is the decline in the number of fulltime farmers due to the aging population, which combined with the absence of farm successors is leading to abandoned and under-used farmland. Under these conditions, we analyze the shifts in labor force allocation within households, between households, and between different communities, in order to secure the continuity of farming activities. Recent agricultural policies aim to increase the active participation in farming of women and of returning farmers, people who left their hometown to engage in non-agricultural work but return to or take up farming after retirement. The study examines strategies to maintain the continuous use of farmland despite the declining numbers of farmers by analyzing the Tachi settlement, whose residents commute for work to the nearby urban areas of Kanazawa and Komatsu cities in Ishikawa prefecture. The study analyzed the occupations of household members in this settlement and evaluated how the residents’ employment choices have influenced the continuous use of farmland in the area. Many studies in agricultural geography in Japan on systems of farmland use and community farming have focused on households centered on a male head-of-household. Our study is original in its focus on the occupations of all individuals in each household to assess the allocation of farming labor in rural households and other mechanisms to maintain their farmland, such as consigning work to other farmers, or renting out their farmland. Over the past decades, with the decline in the number of successors willing to inherit the farms, the number of farms taken over by the next generation has decreased in Tachi, and those responsible for the farmland have had to request help from outside their settlement. However, the study reports some recent positive trends (a family moving back to the settlement and taking up farming, including leasing previously abandoned land). Consequently, farmland use is being localized again within the settlement. Our case study, Tachi, can be considered a representative case study, as it encapsulates many of the recent trends in development of marginal rural communities Japan (rapid socio-demographic decline and its impact on the continuity of farmland use and management practices, especially in terms of labor allocation, but also regarding the mechanisms of renting out/lending farmland). The limited local scale allows for the detailed survey of the entire community as well as an in-depth analysis of data. Findings of this study might prove useful in the elaboration of rural/farming policies with the potential of wider implementation in similar areas in Japan but also (at the broader scale) in Asia.

Livelihood diversification involves the well-characterized strategies of smallholder farmers to combine risk aversion under a market economy. Since livelihood diversification studies have focused on diversifying income sources to include non-farm and off-farm income, the benefit of adding subsistence-oriented farming to the livelihood portfolio has been underestimated. This form of livelihood diversification is broadly observable in Southeast Asia, and could be another risk aversion strategy to cope with unpredictable market conditions. This study examined the role of swidden farming in livelihood diversification through the analysis of individuals’ labor allocation in livelihood portfolio, annual working hours, and seasonal changes in working hours in a village in northern Laos. Information was obtained through direct interviews with 133 individuals. Interviews were conducted in 2017 and gathered information on demographic features, economic activities, and monthly working hours for individual in 2016. The results indicated: 1) Individual’s livelihood portfolio was determined by the assets that the ethnic group and each household held to a large extent; 2) Livelihood diversification took place at the individual level rather than at household level, through an increase in annual working hours, as well as monthly working hours during the peak period of labor demand; and 3) Labor demand for swidden farming was moderate, so villagers can incorporate it into their livelihood portfolio. The study highlighted that flexibility would be another facet of livelihood diversification. Swidden farming was likely to play a pivotal role in its flexibility, but it was not important as an income source.

Lao smallholders are experiencing livestock grazing land constraints due to resettlement, increasing cattle numbers and commercial cash crop plantations. In this paper we describe changes in cattle grazing systems in an upland village in northern Laos, including the role of forage crops and their effects on cattle productivity. We interviewed 92 Hmong and Khmu households about their migration history, cattle grazing practices, cattle productivity and other livelihood activities. In addition, we measured the heart girths of 231 cattle. We found that the traditional free-range cattle grazing has diverged into three distinct systems incorporating fields fenced to different degrees. Although none of the three systems increased cattle body size, the forage pasture and swidden-farming system successfully increased the grazing capacity compared with other systems. Thus, this method appeared to be the most suitable for Hmong smallholders to manage crop and cattle production in the context of land constraints. Efforts should be made to examine how the newly implemented systems could attenuate villager livelihood and pre-emptively address the problems associated with degrading fallow land.

担当区分：最終著者記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：Elsevier

Bacillus species such as Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens are widely used to produce fermented foods from soybeans and locust beans in Asian and West African countries, respectively. Genomic information for B. subtilis strains isolated from Asian Bacillus-fermented foods (BFFs) has been gathered, and the chemical components of fermented products were defined with metabolomic approaches, facilitating the development of new starter strains and the evaluation of health claims. On the other hand, although advanced studies have been performed for some commercially produced BFFs, home-manufactured products still remain to be characterized in rural areas. In West Africa, the microbial flora of BFFs was examined in detail, leading to the isolation of candidates of the starter that produced bacteriocin against Bacillus cereus contaminating the products. These studies may provide a choice of Bacillus strains in food application and increase opportunities for further usage of Bacillus in foods.

Twenty years of long-term maize monoculture that began in the 1990s have resulted in the heavily maize-dependent economy of the northwestern mountainous region of Vietnam, especially in Yen Chau, the core production area. Before 2014, maize accounted for over 70% of the agricultural area. The continuous decrease in maize production value has strongly affected the Tai Dam community in Yen Chau and led to the replacement of various livelihood activities. This contributed to a major shrinkage of the maize area by 28.2% by the end of 2017. This study aims to investigate the determinants of the rapid development of different livelihood trends in Lac Ken, Suoi Bun, and Luong Me villages. A detailed social and statistical investigation was conducted of 198 households in 2016 and 220 households in 2017. The findings of this study indicate that small differences in cultivated land areas and infrastructure facilities have fostered the formation of and changes in livelihood structures. The areal withdrawal of maize occurred concurrently with the increasing trend of fruit tree and sugarcane cultivation. Never-before-seen migrant work unexpectedly became a promising livelihood activity for local farmers. Differences in internal and external forces are believed to be the driving factors behind the new forms of livelihood activities.

Maize is the most important cash crop in Vietnam’s northern mountainous region. It is credited with eradicating hunger and alleviating poverty. However, the continuous decreasing trend in the global maize price since 2013 has resulted in various socioeconomic problems. Yen Chau district follows a cultivation regime of annually changing maize varieties. This goes against the objectives of national test procedures for new seed. This study aimed to establish whether the annually changing seed cultivation regime is the consequence of the fierce competition between seed enterprises. We found that the maize trading structure is centered on a three-level trader network that plays a crucial role in connecting stakeholders. Strong social relationships along with weak credit/production commitments between farmers and traders have facilitated maize production throughout the region. Seed and supply enterprises target traders to promote their products and are the most important information channel for farmers. This study’s findings suggest that seed selection in Yen Chau has no scientific basis but is the result of market factors.

Climate events pose major challenges to food production and the livelihoods of rural inhabitants in northern Laos, where upland rice using swidden production is an important crop. The onset of the rainy season in this area is one such climate event, and it has occurred earlier and with less regularity in recent years. Not all households are able to cope with these changes. This study examines the ability of local farmers to cope with rice insufficiency. This investigation also clarifies household strategies in dealing with the climate event. We randomly interviewed 63 of 95 household heads, and performed a paired sample t test to examine the significance of differences in three household groups between the 2010 normal climate and the 2011 climate event. The groups were categorized according to rice self-sufficiency in 2011: groups I are households with rice self-sufficiency, group II are those facing a rice shortage of up to 3 months, and group III are those with insufficient rice for over 3 months. We also conducted a one-way ANOVA to examine the significance of differences in livelihood strategies among the three groups. We found that the household labor force was the most important factor in enhancing the villagers’ ability to deal with the climate event and that the level of impact of that event shaped their coping strategies. Households with substantial labor force had more options for coping strategies than those with smaller ones. The villagers faced different levels of impact and adopted different coping strategies accordingly. Non-timber forest product collection was the principle livelihood strategy in response to non-climate factors such as education, access to health services, provision of equipment and clothing, and overcoming the impact of the climate event. Households heavily affected by the early rainy season onset tended to engage in intensive activities such as off-farm activity and outside work, rather than their major livelihood activities in the village (upland crop and livestock production).

Livelihood factors and household strategies for an unexpected climate event in upland northern Laos 査読有り国際共著国際誌

記述言語：英語掲載種別：研究論文（学術雑誌）出版者・発行元：The Chinese Academy of Sciences

This study examines the effects of a climate event on livelihood assets of households in upland northern Laos, when the early onset of the rainy season as a result of climate change led to a failure to burn swidden systems. A Sustainable Livelihoods Framework is applied to estimate rural livelihood assets associated with differences in climate conditions, such as the 2010 normal climate and the 2011 climate event, and to compare household strategies in each climate condition. The findings indicate that natural capital had the highest index value in the 2010 normal climate, whereas human capital had the highest value in the 2011 climate event. Financial capital had the lowest index in both climate conditions. Residents at the research site were better off in terms of natural capital but worse off in terms of financial capital. This indicates that the government and other rural development agencies should not only manage natural resources; income-generation activities are also needed. We conclude that natural resources, as well as non-timber forest product (NTFP) gathering and off-farm activity, were the most important strategies for the entire research site under the normal climate condition. NTFP gathering and outside work are important in meeting subsistence needs and augmenting income levels in households when the rainy season begins early as a result of climate change. Outside employment was an additional strategy in households to achieve their livelihood goals, including food security and household income generation, under conditions of economic change and climate events.

This paper reviewed some of the major study results published mainly in Japanese on swidden agriculture which was once practiced in Japan. In this review, a focus was placed on the natural environment in which swidden agriculture was practiced, cropping systems, crop cultivation in swidden fields, the transition of swidden agriculture at the end of the disappearing stage, and the utilization of millet cultivated in swidden agriculture. Swidden agriculture of temperate Japan featured cultivation primarily of millet, and was characterized by highly sophisticated and complex cropping systems according to the natural environment, which varied from one region to another. In the 1970s, however, swidden agriculture which had been continuously practiced as a primary means of subsistence in mountainous areas of Japan ceased to exist. Accordingly, the review will primarily focus on studies from the 1950s to 1970s, the post-war period in which a large number of research findings were produced from the perspectives of the humanities and natural sciences. The methodologies and perspectives adopted in the studies on Japanese swidden agriculture are definitely applicable to currently conducted studies of swidden agriculture in tropical regions.

The rate of urbanization in Laos has increased significantly since the country began its transition to a market economy in 1986. Although urbanization in developing countries has been examined extensively in the literature, very few researchers have focused on Laos. Our main aim here was to examine the effectiveness of utilizing the master plan as a management tool to regulate urban growth in Vientiane, the capital city of Laos. We used a mixed-methods approach to address the research objective. First, we examined the population changes since 1985. Next, land-use and land-cover changes were detected by analyzing the satellite images from three different time periods. Then, we analyzed the city's recently approved master plan to determine whether it can regulate urban growth. Finally, to investigate the socio-economic and institutional issues and better understand the reasons for rapid land-use and land-cover changes, we interviewed several key figures from the departments related to urban management and a number of residents living in the peri-urban area. Between 1995 and 2011, the urban population in the study area increased from 337,000 to 780,000. In the same time period, the built-up area increased from approximately 154 km2 to more than 206 km2. The total area of the forests decreased from approximately 2354 km2 to approximately 1353 km2. The results indicate that there is an urgent need for improvements in the regulatory and management aspects and that the master plan should be revised to provide a more realistic account of the existing situation.

A review of the developments in Nature and Society Studies in Japan from the 1980s onward 招待有り査読有り

This article reviewes the research trends in Nature and Society Studies authored by Japanese geographers, which have appeared in academic journals in the geography field in Japan from the 1980s onwards; these are organized into three categories, “land-use and subsistence activities,” “biological resources and subsistence activities” and “the environment and resources.” In two of the categories of “land-use and subsistence activities” and “biological resources and subsistence activities,” there has been substantial research conducted which deals with cases in developing countries. Yet, research on domestic activities in Japan where significant economic development has already been achieved remains scarce. The reason for this seems to be that research dealing with domestic agriculture, forestry, livestock and fishery conducted from the geographical perspective has not emphasized the subsistence aspect of these activities but rather these were considered as a part of industries. Accordingly, the majority of research in these areas is conducted from the perspective of economic geography. In regards to the research on “the environment and resources,” it became evident that Nature and Society Studies has not yet determined what type of approach should be taken to analyze the environment/resource use and environmental perception. The Nature and Society Study Group represents a new field in Japanese geography but its significance for research on human–nature interactions has gradually come to be recognized in the community of Japanese geographers through various activities including symposiums. Preparing for and coping with natural hazards, the environment and development, sustainable resource use, environmental change and survival are all the targets of Nature and Society Studies, and research in these areas is expected to develop in the future.

本稿では，アジアのカビ酒圏を中心とした伝統酒の酒造と飲酒の研究をレビューした。その結果，酒造に関しては，酒類別に異なる研究傾向が見られ，さらにどぶろく系と蒸留酒系では地域による違いも論じられている。また，飲酒と文化の関係性に関しては，飲酒の目的を儀礼，もてなし，生活に分類して研究を整理したところ，地域共通の飲酒規範が存在することが明らかになったが，その規範は近代化によって大きく変化しつつある。既存研究のレビューを通して，本稿ではアジアの伝統酒をとらえるための三つの研究視点を提示した。1 点目は，研究アプローチ方法が確立されていない飲酒の地域差を解明する必要性，2 点目は，飲酒の地域性が失われつつある中で，文化的側面から地域固有の伝統酒の存在意義を再考する研究の必要性，そして3 点目は，伝統酒の地域性を解明するための地理学的な総合的視点からの多面的研究アプローチを採用する必要性である。

自然の力を利用して作物栽培を持続的かつ循環的に営むことができるのが焼畑農業である. 先人たちは, 土地に合った耕作と休閑のパターンを守り, 焼畑を何世紀にもわたって存続させてきた. しかし, 遅れた農法と見なされた焼畑は, 世界各地で規制され, その面積は急速に縮小し, 消滅の危機を向かえようとしている. 本研究では, 現在でも広く焼畑が営まれている東南アジアのラオス北部を事例に, 焼畑を持続させてきた自然資源の循環的利用や焼畑を営む人びとの生業維持の戦略にフォーカスをあてることで, 焼畑の生業にとっての価値を再考することを試みた. その結果, 焼畑の特徴は「区分」ではなく「連続性」に特徴づけられることを示した. 火入れ後の1 年間は食料を生産する「畑」であるが, その後の休閑地となっている長期間は植物の侵略と遷移が繰り返され, また各種の生物が生きる「森」である. 焼畑は畑と森の両方の機能をあわせ持ち, 森林を破壊する農法と捉えるのは適切ではない. さらに, 生業の面から焼畑を捉えると, 作物栽培を行った後, 同じ場所で牛の刈跡放牧を行い, 植物や昆虫を採取し, 狩猟まで行っている. 生態学的な連続性に加えて, 生業の連続性という特徴も有する. 焼畑を「連続性」の視点から再考すれば, 従来とは異なる価値を見いだすことができるのである.

In order to examine the impacts of fast-growing tree plantations on local vegetation and plant use, we conducted a vegetation survey and interviews with residents in Village P, Pak Kading District, Bolikhamxay Province in central Laos, which has an extensive secondary forest and newly established eucalyptus plantation. The vegetation survey, consisting of the sampling of one quadrat each established in the secondary forest and the plantation site, yielded 160 individuals representing 80 species and 289 individuals representing 61 species in the respective locations. Species diversity was higher in the secondary forest than in the plantation site. In terms of plant use, it was found that 0.59 species and 0.79 individuals per square meter in the secondary forest were used by local villagers; the same figures for the plantation site were 0.36 species and 0.51 individuals per square meter, respectively. The number of useful plants was higher in the secondary forest than in the plantation site. There were few common species between the two locations. Although there exist useful plants in the plantation site that could potentially benefit villagers’ livelihoods, the above results primarily reveal the relative importance of the secondary forest in Village P. This research contributes valuable baseline information to support the sustainable development of local societies and the environment.

A variety of fermented soybean foods such as Natto of Japan, Tua Nao of Thailand and Kinema of Himalaya, are widely produced in the glossy-leaved forest (Shōyōjyurin) of subtropical monsoon Asia. Although there are several discussions on the origin and the diffusion of the fermented soybean foods, it is still not clear. In order to address the unsolved issues, the fermented soybean foods in Southeast Asia which has much more variety than the other regions must weigh in detail. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to clarify both the similarities and difference of fermented soybean foods between Myanmar and Northern Thailand from the point of view of plant use for the fermentation of non-salted soybeans. In Northern Thailand and Shan State of Myanmar, households which produce dried fermented soybean on a large commercial scale did not supply any plant during the fermentation, and use plastic bag. However, small scale producers use traditional bamboo basket and put the leaf of Dipterocarpus tuberculatus or Tectona grandis. In Kachin State of Myanmar where Ficus spp. is supplied as the source of Bacillus subtilis, unground form is mostly produced and threaded much. The process of making fermented soybean is basically the same among Northern Thailand, Shan State and Kachin State; however, there was regionally difference in the use of plant to supply Bacillus subtilis. This study suggests the possibility that regional diversity of plant use for the fermentation shows the independent origin of non-salted soybean production. To validate this hypothesis, further study must be required in other important regions such as Himalaya and Southern China.

The trading of agro-forest products and commodities in the northern mountainous region of Laos 査読有り

The purpose of this study is to clarify the trade flow of agro-forest products and commodities by analyzing commercial activities and private traders in a mountainous region. This study focused on Ngoi district of Luang Phabang province in northern Laos where there is a long history of non-timber forest product (NTFP) trading in the study area.
In the Lān Xāng Kingdom era, political coordinators called Lām collected agro-forest products from mountain people as tax, and private traders purchased NTFPs, mainly benzoin and cardamom. Then, under the communist regime in the period between 1960 and 1986, private traders were replaced by government-managed stores and the role of the Lām disappeared. After the Lao version of Perestroika or Chintanakan Mai in 1986, private agro-forest product trading was re-established in the study area and in addition, general stores and periodic markets appeared along the riverside. The re-establishment of agroforest product trading resulted from the stimulation of commodity flows due to the local general stores and periodic markets, and vice versa.
During the Chintanakan Mai period, the NTFPs being traded in the study area were not traditional foods or medicines but rather new products being exported to foreign countries, especially China. The borders with Thailand, China, and Vietnam in northern Laos were re-opened in the early 1990s, after which Chinese traders came directly to northern Laos to purchase NTFPs. This paper shows how the stimulation of human mobility, commodity distribution, and information flow observed after Chintanakan Mai has strongly affected the livelihood of the mountain people.

This paper tried to clarify residential preference of students in Faculty of Letters, Kumamoto University, by interpreting mental maps. Mental maps are frequently used as a tool for analysis of environmental perception or environmental assessment. Spatial pattern drawn in the mental maps represents commonalities and regionalites of residential preference. As a result of analysis, the tendency of residential preference varies remarkably by hometown of the respondents or students' major field of study. The mental maps, however, also showed the commonalities of residential preference. Urbanized prefectures (Tokyo and Fukuoka) and prefectures known as popular destination for tourist (Kyoto, Hokkaido and Okinawa) are prefered by most of the respondents.

The Mountainous Region of Mainland Southeast Asia has been drawn attention from the scholars recently, and research results of Laos, which is used to be called “the forgotten country”, are also being accumulated gradually. Keywords such as complex multiethnic country, mountainous country, swidden agriculture and the lack of basic infrastructures are often used as the representation of Lao’s characteristics. For example, “swidden agriculture is practiced by the ethnic minorities in the mountainous area where infrastructure maintenance is insufficient” is the widely used description of socio‐economic conditions activities of the Laos. Quantitive data concerning interrelation between swidden agriculture, the ethnic minorities, infrastructure maintenance and the mountainous area is not publicized in scientific papers. The purpose of this paper is to provide data for discussing agricultural forms of Laos and information for comparing Laos to other regions in the Mountainous Region of Mainland Southeast Asia, and also to examine availability of these data by organizing quantitive data on the geographical configuration, infrastructure, ethnic characteristics and agricultural forms.

There is a long history of forest product gathering in northern Laos. The indigenous peoples, especially the Khmu people, have actively gathered benzoin and cardamom for centuries. In the past, governmental peddlers sold commodities and purchased agro-forest products from mountain people. After the Lao version of Perestroika or Chintanakan Mai in 1986, privately managed agro-forest product trader appeared in the mountainous region. Apart from benzoin and cardamom, the forest products that are traded in this region are not traditional species for food or medicine but are new species exported to China after the 1990s. The Thailand border and the Chinese border in northern Laos, which used to be closed to ordinary people due to government policy, were re-opened in the early of 1990s. Afterwards, Chinese traders came directly to northern Laos by truck to purchase these forest products. The flow of people, goods and information seen after Chintanakan Mai has strongly influenced the livelihood of these mountain peoples.

This paper aims at clarifying the relationship between traditional forest use, ethnicity and settlement location in the mountainous area of northern Laos, by observing cash income activities, focusing particularly on non-timber forest product (NTFP) gathering.
As ethnic Lao settlements are located along the river, many households engage in nonagricultural activities. Khmu settlements are located throughout the whole region, with agriculture as the main activity of most households. Hmong settlements are located only in mountainous areas; almost all households have both rice farming and opium poppy cultivation asmain farming activities.
The most important activity contributing to cash income is NTFP gathering. A large quantity of NTFPs is grown as secondary vegetation after burning the forest for swidden agriculture. The most notable of these is the styrax tree (Styrax tonkinensis) which produces a balsamic resin known as benzoin. As a regeneration of styrax trees is performed in combination with swidden agriculture, this land use system of combined benzoin gathering and swidden agriculture is comparable to the concept of an agro-forestry. This type of forest use has long been practiced in the study area. However, the present study shows that this agro-forestry mode of forest use, or indigenous sustainable forest use system, is at risk of collapse, due to political regulations against forest utilization.

This paper presents the results of a case study of a mountain village in northern Laos. The focus of the paper is on the change in its occupational structure after the introduction of nonagricultural activities.
In 1986, after 11 years of communist-based policies, the government adopted the Lao version of Perestroika or 'Chintanakan mai'. These policies appear to be having an impact even in remote, mountainous villages, as evidenced by an increase in non-agricultural activities in rural areas.
The village taken up in this study is Phonsavang, a mountain village in northern Laos that has moved its location twice in the last 25 years. With each change of location, the village has diversified its economic activities. To begin with, the village was located in the mountains and traditional activities such as swidden agriculture played a central role in its economy. However, in the mid-1970s, the village moved to Nam Beng riverside where the villagers tried to develop paddy fields and began the shipment of forest products under the influence of neig hboring villages. After the introduction of the 'Chintanakan mai' policy, in 1988, the village moved to its current location, based along the No.2 national road. Since this move, many households have introduced non-agricultural activities such as general shop management, sawmill labor and teak plantations. Despite these changes, the village is still self-sufficient in rice production.
A multivariate analysis using 'Quantification Theory Type II', a type of discriminant analysis, was carried out to describe the characteristics of households in the village. The criterion variable is the introduction of non-agricultural activities, and the predictor variables are types of rice field holdings, teak plantations and various types of agricultural capital goods. As a result of this analysis, households that introduced non-agricultural activities can be characterized as not holding any rice fields, or cultivating only paddy if they hold rice fields, and having expensive agricultural capital goods such as a thresher and a tractor. Ordinary households, on the other hand, can be characterized as specializing in rice farming using swidden methods.
After characterizing the different household structures, the study examined the economic activities of households that introduced non-agricultural activities in detail. These households have accumulated a variety of capital goods- for example, cars, threshers and tractors. Most successful households that have many capital goods achieve success through the brokerage of forest products. However, not all households have been able to accumulate capital goods by themselves. Instead, they have relied on remittances from relatives who now live in a foreign country.
This study suggests, therefore, that a diversification of the occupational structure has occurred with each village relocation. This diversification intensified after the introduction of 'Chintanakan mai' and an increase in non-agricultural activities was observed. In fact, a quarter of the households in this village had introduced non-agricultural activities by 1999. Nevertheless, the village is still producing a rice surplus as well as continuing to develop new paddy. Thus, it would seem that despite a diversification in occupational structure and the introduction of non-agricultural activities, rice farming remains a very important economic activity in rural villages.

This paper presents a village map using GPS and GIS, and examines the applicability to village studies in developing countries where it is hard to obtain maps with big scale. The focus of the paper is on methods for making the village map and its analysis by GIS in the study site of Laos (Lao People's Democratic Republic). Location data such as Tracks and Waypoints stored in Handy-GPS receivers can be easily transferred to PC and processed in GIS application. The relative location error measured in several Tracks at 31 points by GPS was only 16.6m on average. This study suggests, therefore, that mapping by GPS and GIS can apply to village study, and shows the spatial change of tourism facilities in the study site as example of GPS data usage.

GIS (Geographical Information System) efficiently stores, searches, changes and analyzes map and attribute data into a computer. It also outputs maps and creates reports, making it a potentially useful tool for decision-making. With the advancements made in information technology, the downsizing of computers, price reductions in GIS software and development of spatial databases in the 1990s, GIS began to experience explosive growth.
This growth has been especially noticeable in recent years in local governments, private companies, etc., which have fully implemented GIS to handle daily operations. Given such an increase in GIS applications, many institutions of higher education are establishing special GIS courses and facilities, such as the Center for Spatial Information Science at the University of Tokyo. In geography classrooms, GIS is being acclaimed as an effective and efficient spatial analysis tool, and major universities with graduate departments have been especially keen to add GIS to the curriculum. Unfortunately, with the exception of just a few institutions, most classroom GIS instruction has been limited to non-interactive lectures.
In addition, there are many issues and problems confronting the addition of GIS courses to the curriculum. Although computer rooms designed for 20-30 students have been established in many universities, most of these facilities do not have important peripherals such as GIS digitizers and plotters. As well, it is difficult from a budgetary perspective to provide enough GIS software and digital maps for a given number of students, and it is hard to find teaching assistants who are knowledgeable about GIS applications. There is also a dearth of GIS study aides such as textbooks and manuals.
Clearly, it is much more efficient to teach GIS on a hands-on basis, rather than simply with lectures; thus, it is necessary to establish hands-on instruction using computers so that students can learn as much about GIS as possible. As the importance of hands-on instruction becomes apparent, more budget monies will likely be allotted for GIS, and more GIS-related equipment and materials may well become available. Thus, we might currently be in a transition period from lectures to hands-on instruction.
For the past several years, the authors have been teaching GIS by trial-and-error to geography majors at the University of Tsukuba. Through this process, they found that even on a limited budget with little equipment, they were able to give functionality to GIS instruction when a methodology could be established. The key to this was the liberal use of GIS educational software, free GIS applications, and geographical information on the Internet, among other resources.
Given this background, this paper will present an introduction to GIS materials that are effective in hands-on instruction and provide specific examples regarding effectiveness and methods for utilization. The second chapter, GIS Instruction for Beginners, examines the highly acclaimed GIS Tutor as an application for GIS education, and explains how Internet GIS, developed by the authors, effectively helps students learn more about this system. The third chapter, GIS Analysis Instruction, takes a look at TNTLite, a versatile, free GIS software to explain important concepts such as overlay and network analyses, as well as how to run these applications. The fourth chapter, GIS Analysis Applications for Students, introduces the functions of ILWIS, WinASEAN and IDRISI, which are considered to be particularly effective in GIS instruction.

The study area, Hitachinaka, is situated in lbaraki Prefecture, 100 km to the north of Tokyo. Since the foundation of Hitachi Company in 1920, this region has developed into one of the most important industrial areas in Japan.
The aim of the research was to elucidate the vertical division of the production process, analyzing the spatial distribution of the subcontractor plants through outside order flow, as well as analyzing the commuting patterns of the workers, thus observing the parent company and its subcontractors' regional influence. The investigation focused on the supplier network of Hitachi Ltd.'s K Group.
Approaching from the employees' side, an investigation was carried out for the parent company and the subcontractors respectively, throwing light on the differences in employment structure and commuting pattern.
At the parent company, the difference between the number of male and female workers is quite conspicuous, since the male employees account for 90% of the workforce. In the case of Hitachi Ltd's K Group, the manufacturing and development of electron microscopes requires special technological skills from the workers. Mainly male employees are in possession of these skills, and this is the reason why they outnumber female employees.
Commuters arrive from as far away as Chiba Prefecture, but the main commuting zone is encompassed by a 60 km radius circle. Hitachi Company maintains workers' residents in the neighboring area, which can be cited as one reason why the vast majority of the employees commute from Hitachinaka.
In the case of the affiliated company and the other subcontractors involved in parts assembly, the laborintensive process requires relatively large numbers of employees. An interesting phenomenon at the affiliated firm is that workers directed from the parent company are employed there. Generally speaking, the make-up of the workforce, both in terms of the male-female and the white collar-blue collar ratio, and the commuting pattern differs according to the type of manufacturing or process these subcontractors carry out. At the subcontractor plants, the female workforce plays a bigger role in the manufacturing process, and includes several part-time workers.
As we take a look at the parent company's division of labor, we see that the subcontractor relations can be categorized into 5 levels, depending on what stage of the manufacturing process the firms are situated. At the first level stands the parent company followed by a subsidiary at the second level. At the lower levels suppliers are situated, and in contrast to the second level company they do not possess capital investment from the parent company These firms are involved in parts assembly, different metal processing work, coating and engraving. The order flow shows a complicated pattern but as we move toward the lower level subcontractors, it gets smaller in volume.
The authors took the manufacturing process of the electron microscope as an example to observe the different supply patterns. The supply patterns can be classified into 4 types in terms of the different level companies and products involved in the flow.
The parent company's busin~ss relations were also examined, and the analysis found that the primary outside order reaches 63 firms, which can be categorized according to the supplied products, as hardware and software firms. Since the manufacturing of hardware and software requires different environments, the spatial outside order pattern differs considerably. The differences in the business cooperation between the manufacturers are presented with case studies.
Depending on the type of processed parts, the spatial distribution of the outside order shows different features. Generally speaking, 50(~o of the subcontractors are concentrated at the territory adjacent (below 20km) to the parent company. This can be attributed to the fact that longer transportation distance means a disadvantage both in terms of time and cost. The study found that assemblers tend to be in close geographical proximity with the parent company due to the large volume and mass of assembled parts, thus from the point of transportation cost, shorter shipping distance results in more economical business. Nevertheless, in purchasing of parts and in metal manufacturing, remote flrms appear on the suppliers' Iist. Shipment costs may rise, but other reasons can be given to explain this phenomenon. First, the technological ability these companies possess enables them to manufacture better quality, as well as odd shaped or sized products, which cannot be procured in the parent company's neighboring area. Second, the parent company places the outside order to several suppliers, where one company accomplishes more than one process and this way they save time and cost by not shipping the parts back and forth between the different subcontractors. Using this method, it is profitable to have business relations with firms located even at a longer distance from the customer.
From the analyzed supplier network model it is clear that the former pyramid model has remarkably restructured into a much more complicated form, where the parent company's primary outside order reaches as far as the 4th level of subcontractors.
The frontier effect also influences the development of business tles. In other words, the supplier companies try to find other customers in order to diversify their business relations and not to depend on the orders of only one customer.
The manufacturing linkage between the parent company and its subcontractors is strong, with some suppliers are still linked almost exclusively to the parent firm. Partly, this may be attributed to the fact that the Hitachi Industrial Region was developed and built around one company, Hitachi. Numerous small and medium scale enterprises launched their businesses, or moved to this area counting on the steady orders of a large manufacturer. However the changes in the business environment and the economic situation has caused some loosening in the strong keiretsu ties. Both sides, the parent company and the suppliers, are working on improving cooperation and making the business more economical, even if it means braking up long-lasting ties. On the other hand, developments In logistics have made it possible to optimize outside orders and the flow of processed parts, thus resulting in a complicated network of business connections between customers and suppliers.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the damaged state of forest by a typhoon and its recovery using GIS. Digital ortho-photographs, made by a GIS application were analyzed. The result shows that multiple layer operation between digital ortho-photographs and various thematic maps was effective in explaining the state of typhoon damaged forest. The recovery from typhoon-damage was also examined in relation to 50m buffer zones from forest road. The result shows that the location of forest roads had significant influence on damaged forest recovery.
