Support for Farmland Restoration Through Mutual Assistance After Flood Disasters in Hilly and Mountainous Areas : Cases of the Cities of Yame and Ukiha Affected by the Torrential Rainfall in Northern Kyushu in July 2012 (Special Issue on Creating Community-Based Robust and Resilient Society).

Many farmlands were destroyed by a big flood disaster in 2012 that was occurred in Yame and Ukiha city, Fukuoka prefecture in northern Kyushu, Japan. In this paper, I described a case study that has been deployed the volunteer activities for farmland restoration after the flood disaster in the hilly and mountainous areas. The purpose of this study is to clarify the outline of the activities in three regions and to show the character of the volunteer groups of farmland restoration. Interview survey and field surveys were conducted with each volunteer group’s manager and collected data of volunteer groups forming process, monthly process of activities, and distribution of activities, facilities requirement, and go-between person who connect victim farmer and volunteer activities. Those were carried out through June to September 2014. It was found that conservation activities were carried out in those three area from before disaster year, especially, the NPO Sansonjyuku which established 1994 was launch their activities from July, the month of disaster happened. The distribution of activity areas, the Sansonjyuku was unevenly distributed due to their activity experiences on disasters in former years, the other groups were widely covered the area because of they carried out the needs research to all local district area through ward mayors. 50 to 75.9 supports activities were go-between by someone, and the ward mayors played those role more than 50%.

Many farmlands were destroyed by big flood disaster in 2012 that was occurred in Yame and Ukiha city, Fukuoka prefecture at northern Kyushu, Japan. In this paper, I described the case study that has been deployed the volunteer activities for farmland restoration after the flood disaster in the hilly and mountainous areas. The purpose of this study is to clarify the outline of the activities in three regions and to show the types of the volunteer groups of farmland restoration. Interview survey was conducted with each volunteer group's manager and collecting that materials. Field survey was also carried out along with the manager through June to September 2014. It was found that the volunteer group's activity types were characterized into three types. First, "Satochi-Satoyama conservation volunteer group type" that has been works from before and just after the disaster; second, "Residents-administration group type" and third, "Administration group type" who started their works few months after the disaster. Lastly, the distribution of activity areas, the first group was unevenly distributed due to their activity experiences on disasters in former years, the other groups were widely covered the area because of the needs by the local demand.
2003 都市近郊農村における里山林の管理・利用実態とその公益的機能に関する研究/ The Relationship between Satoyama Forest' Status and its Social Functions in a Suburban Area of Fukuoka, kyushu
上原 三知, 重松 敏則, 朝廣 和夫. 都市近郊農村における里山林の管理・利用実態とその公益的機能に関する研究(平成15年度日本造園学会全国大会 研究発表論文集(21)). ランドスケープ研究 : 日本造園学会誌 : journal of the Japanese Institute of Landscape Architecture. 2003, vol. 66, no. 5, p. 573-578.
To clarify the relationship between the present status of the Satoyama forest and its multiple social functions in a suburban area, research was conducted in the Matono area, of Shingu Town, Fukuoka. Based on a series surveys, every forest was examined from 4 aspects; forest type (conifer plantation/broadleaved forest), land ownership (common/private), age and management situation, and the database sorted accordingly. We then evaluated the multiple social functions of the forest. The result were as follows; 1. Well-managed forests were few; and depended on forest type, 2. Multiple function uses were fully available only in 7% of total forest area. Especially, conifer plantations were evaluated low for stability of vegetation, amenity, biological diversity, and as a river water-source; suggesting the necessity to improve the forest structure. 3. From an interview with the forest owner, it became apparent that it would be impossible to manage both private and common forests for both their family interests and those of the community. Consequently, it was considered necessary that a linking system be established between the rural community and city dwellers for purposes of conservation to restore a sustainable environment and sane resources utilization.
