Downturns in Japanese timber prices are currently discouraging the participation of Japan's forest owners inmanagement practices, to the extent that timberlands are being sold and reforestation and renewal projects are being abandoned. In contrast, some corporate entities that actively require a timber supply are engaging in, and evenexpanding, forest management investment; long-term forest management are also being established. Thus, Japan'sapproach to forest management is undergoing reorganization.In 2008, we had an opportunity to discuss with two major financial institutions about the possibility of the foresttrust in Japan. This study aims to clarify the factors regarding main difficulties of the forestry business through theforest trust indicated by major financial institutions. The obstacles that these institutions faced included uncertaintyin securing cash flow for forestry projects, a potential shortage of cooperating experts and financial institutions, andinstability in the physical status of and rights to the forest properties. In the context of these issues, we describe the conditions affecting the commodification of the forest industry, which has allowed the formation of forestry business active in Japan today.

REDD+ is an approach to reduce deforestation and forest degradation, using economic incentives to influence behavior. The need for safeguards has emerged to avoid the negative social and environmental impacts caused by an overemphasis of such economic incentives. In the context of safeguards, in addition to the UNFCCC's official efforts, voluntary activities (initiatives) by many organizations have attempted to formulate principles, criteria, indicators and guidelines. In this article, we clarified the elements to enhance social safeguards and discussed how those elements are included in each initiative. We reviewed the literature on the SEPC, SESA and REDD+ SES initiatives, and clarified the focal points and problems relating to social safeguards. We found that benefit-sharing is an important aspect of social safeguards, and that more discussions are needed to enhance initiatives. The REDD+ SES initiative has received little criticism in literature to date and has the best-covered elements including "benefit-sharing" among the three initiatives. If more countries adopt REDD+ SES and more cases can be accumulated to identify problems and solutions, it could become a popular initiative in the international community to enhance the social safeguards in REDD+.

「ランド・スペアリング」は、一定の土地の生産性を高めることで、その他の土地の生物多様性保全を図る概念である。ランド・スペアリングのアプローチは、今後予想される人口増加に伴う食糧安全保障と生物多様性保全との両立のあり方を検討する目的で議論されてきた。本研究ではこの概念を援用し、集約的な土地利用の1つであるアブラヤシ農園の開発が自然保護区および地域社会に与えた影響を検討することで、アブラヤシ農園のランド・スペアリングとしての機能を評価した。インドネシア、西カリマンタン州に位置するアブラヤシ農園およびグヌンパルン国立公園に隣接する集落において、60世帯を対象とした訪問面接調査を行った。その結果、アブラヤシ農園の開発に伴い、地域住民の主たる生計手段が違法伐採を含む伐採労働からアブラヤシ農園からの収入へと変化し、国立公園の森林資源保全に寄与したことが確認され、アブラヤシ農園のランド・スペアリングとしての機能が示された。一方、世帯間においてはアブラヤシ農園収入の多寡に応じた経済的格差が認められ、今後さらに拡大することが懸念された。

Authorship：Lead author,　Corresponding author Language：Japanese Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：林業経済学会

In Java Island, Indonesia, where shows active utilization of private forest (PF) timber by timber processing industry, the relation between behaviors by the government, timber processing company, sawmill and farmer and the transition of forest area was analyzed. The most effective policy was request for acquisition of certification for a place of timber's origin. In Tasikmalaya District, the check of certification grasped the real situation of timber utilization. Meanwhile, the demand expansion of PF timber increased amount of timber production by farmers and decreased forest area. Tree planting by farmers increased forest area in 2007. However, because of continuous of purchasing price increase, timber cutting was continued at a faster rate than plantation and it decreased forest area in 2010. Furthermore, sawmills were established in associate with demand expansion and the total capacity of sawmilling was exceed timber supply in amount. As a result, sawmills fell into timber shortage. From these results, the flow "decrease of natural forest area → shortage of timber supply → utilization of PF timber → increase of PF area" and the existence of next scenario "increase of PF timber utilization → decrease of PF area" was clarified.

Forestland allocation (FLA) policy in Vietnam aimed at conserving forests and improving local livelihoods. In regard to the effectiveness of FLA, some authors reported improvements in forest cover and quality, whereas others stated inappropriate implementation process and minor impacts on household income. Hence, this study examined whether disturbances in initial stage still existed, how allocated forestlands were utilized, and how FLA contributed to local livelihoods under different forest management regimes. D village of Nam Dong district, where FLA was introduced in 1995, was selected as a case, and 78 households were randomly selected for household interviews. The results revealed that shifting cultivation, once widely reported in mountainous regions, had already ceased before our survey. Natural forests allocated to groups were mainly utilized for non-wood forest product (NWFP) collection, regardless of whether those users had an allocation. Individually allocated areas were converted to acacia and recently to rubber plantations. The rotation of acacia plantation was five to seven years with intercropping cassava in the initial stage. FLA contributed to adjusting an uneven distribution of farmland and income, but the effect remained nominal. The role of FLA in income generation was limited due to small allocation area per household (1.50ha on average). Switching to rubber trend was another reason of limited income derived from FLA. Therefore NWFP played a more significant role in the household economy than plantation yields. Investment in livestock was first preference of respondents, which suggests the importance of small-scale livestock rearing in the areas facing land shortage.

Status of forest development and opportunity cost of avoiding forest conversion in Ba Be National Park, Vietnam Reviewed

Tu Anh Nguyen, Masuda Misa, Iwanaga Seiji

TROPICS Vol. 24 ( 4 ) page： 153 - 167 2016

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：JAPAN SOCIETY OF TROPICAL ECOLOGY

This study aimed to discover the status of several types of forest and based on the opportunity costs of REDD+ to identify which greenhouse gas (GHG) emission mitigation options can be implemented in different forest types in Ba Be National Park, Vietnam. From 1990 to 2000, forest in the study area faced a high rate of forest cover loss and degradation. During the next decade from 2000 to 2010, total forest cover increased gradually. However, the natural forest area still decreased. In our household survey (n＝103), respondents reported that main drivers of deforestation and forest degradation in those areas were timber extraction for commercial or subsistence purposes, shifting cultivation, inadequate forest management, bribes to forest rangers, felling trees for firewood and bamboo shoots, and conversion to Mo (Manglietia conifera) and other perennial plants. There are some differences in those drivers between the three villages surveyed. From 2000 to 2010, several land use changes such as the conversion of poor timber forest into recovered timber forest, medium timber forest into poor timber forest and planted forest into bare land with scattered trees caused more than 8,000tCO2e emissions per year. In regard to opportunity costs, most of the avoidance options have negative opportunity costs, which mean potential benefits. Within the current carbon market price, the avoidance can be applied to reduce approximately 7,900tCO2e emissions (about 98% reduction) per year in the three communes surveyed.

Prospects and challenges of reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia Reviewed

Motoshi Hiratsuka, Shyam Krishna Paudel, Seiji Iwanaga, Hirofumi Yaginuma, Amano Masahiro

International Journal of Environment and Sustainable Development Vol. 15 ( 1 ) page： 49 - 66 2016

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

Indonesia is rapidly progressing in terms of reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD plus) preparedness. We carried out a detailed feasibility study to develop and implement a new mechanism of the REDD plus for Central Kalimantan, a REDD pilot province of Indonesia. Several REDD plus activities were implemented in Paduran Mulia Village of Central Kalimantan. Remote sensing data was used to detect land use changes in the study area and was complemented by ground inventory to assess the actual carbon stock of the forest. The study found that land cover and uses have significantly been changed since last 30 years. Considering 2008 as a base year, we estimated that the total emission reduction would be 9,344 Gg CO2 in the next 20 years (about 450 Gg CO2/year). The results indicated the optimistic scenario with significant emission reduction if the proposed REDD plus activities were implemented successfully.

Effect of Oil Palm Plantation Development in Establishment Phase on Local People's Livelihood Strategies and Perception of Land Tenure in Peat Land : A Case Study in Kapuas District, Central Kalimantan, Indonesia Reviewed

IWANAGA Seiji, ANAKURA Natsuko, ONDA Nariaki, AMANO Masahiro

Journal of Forest Economics Vol. 61 ( 1 ) page： 75 - 85 2015

Authorship：Lead author,　Corresponding author Language：Japanese Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：林業経済学会

Oil palm plantation has a negative impact on Global warming on particularly on peat land that is not suitable for agriculture. This survey focuses on two factors that change the source of income and economic condition of the local people in Central Kalimantan where peat land abounds, and the perception that oil palm plantation requires conversion of custom land where traditionally utilized by them. It also clarifies the impact of the establishment phase of oil palm plantations on employment and the local society. And, based on the results, we discuss desirable livelihood strategy for local people. Findings of the survey confirm that the main source of income for young households is oil palm plantations that engage them as labor while the older households' income come from managing small private rubber plantations. However, households engaged as labor in oil palm plantations also wished to own rubber plantations and were concerned about losing custom land that the oil palm plantation companies were buying. The local people are largely dependent on uncertain plantation labor for their livelihood, and as they do not have many alternative sources of income, it is necessary for them to lower any risk by retaining custom land, which is one of their important sources of income.

Circumstances and Possibility of Entry into Melaleuca (Melaleuca cajupti) Timber Market in Indonesia : Toward Generation of New Income Source for Local People in the REDD+ Project Reviewed

IWANAGA Seiji, HIRATSUKA Motoshi, YAGINUMA Hirofumi

Journal of Forest Economics Vol. 60 ( 3 ) page： 25 - 36 2014

Authorship：Lead author,　Corresponding author Language：Japanese Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal) Publisher：林業経済学会

To improve the livelihood of local people involved in the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries (REDD+) project, we examined the necessary factors to incorporate Melaleuca (Melaleuca cajupti) timber production as a new income source. At PM Village, with Central Kalimantan as research target, we conducted Project Cycle Management (PCM) to investigate Melaleuca timber production. Findings clarified that the main problem was access to the timber market. Therefore, we conducted market surveys to search for and develop a distribution channel. We discovered two markets for Melaleuca timber; market of a small-diameter timber and a middle-diameter timber. Eventually, it became apparent that there was no room to enter the small-diameter market. In the middle-diameter market, a shortage of timber was occurring simultaneously with an increase in Melaleuca demand because the amount of timber available from Kalimantan (e.g., Meranti: Shorea spp.) had decreased. In PM Village, there were no middle-diameter trees, so forest management (i.e., silviculture) was identified as an objective for the area. Moreover, forest management in this area has become additionality of the REDD+ project. Accordingly, it is anticipated that Melaleuca grown in peatlands will generate profitable income for REDD+ projects in other peatland areas.
