In addition to visualizing the decrease trend of private forests and changes in the proportion of private forests from agricultural censuses and forest and forestry statistics data in Kanagawa Prefecture (graphs and table creation), we conducted interview surveys (mainly on the current state and response of forest of unknown forests, the present state and issues of forest inheritance, the presence or absence of data on forests owned by each municipality, etc.) based on the characteristics of forests in Kanagawa Prefecture.
As a result, the visualization of forest data revealed the increase or decrease in the forest area and the proportion of private, public, and national forests in numbers. In addition, the direction in which the problem of maintenance and management of the forest of unknown owners was solved by the Forest Management Law and the revised Registration Law was confirmed.

We focused on hearing survey at Takayama village in Gunma prefecture. In particular, we examined and analyzed the land register from the Meiji Period and analyzed the causal relationship between protection and rehabilitation of shared forests in Takayama village of Gumma Prefecture, and the loss of population and influx. As a result, we reached the hypothesis that it is possible to prevent population outflow by promoting shared forest protection and regeneration, and promote population inflow. This is because it is necessary to regenerate and protect common forests and to acquire better forests by manpowering forests. Also, it takes a long time to regenerate the forest. In other words, protection and rehabilitation of shared forests is not a transient one like a public works but is continuous. The above is part of the research results this time.

This research project considers issues of internal control in non-profit corporations. In Japan, new regulations concerning non-profit corporations were enacted in 2006. However, this new law took ordinary corporate law as its template, and as a result it remains the duty of the director to set up internal controls, just as in corporate law.
In order to assess this situation, we have attempted to measure the extent of appropriate internal control by interviewing executives and conducting surveys of non-profit corporations. We have also attempted to suggest that in non-profit corporations, directors are not properly incentivized to achieve the same performance as their counterparts in publicly-traded corporations.

The purpose of this research is to examine the efficiency of public water area development using both economic and law analyses. In particular, we examine (i) whether the existence of fishing rights and compensation rules for loss of fishers leads to efficient development, (ii) whether the rules of compensation influence the decision making of development, and (iii) what types of fishing rights are desirable in terms of social welfare.The main results of economic analysis are as follows. First, we obtain that explicit division of rights to the profits from fishing/fish stocks is needed for efficient development and harvesting. Second, who determines development and/or what kind of compensation rule is used influence the number of developed fishing districts and the amount of harvesting. For example, when the government determines the development area, the compensation according to the past fishing records leads to excess development and excess harvesting in terms of social welfare. On the other hand, the compensation according to the discounted present value of the fish stock leads to insufficient development.Moreover, the result of law analysis is as follows. Under the present Fisheries Act, it can be considered that each member of a fishery cooperative has her/his ownership interest in the profits of harvesting/fish stock. Demands for partition of the fishery (or the fish stock) and disposal of the partition are restricted for the benefit of cooperative resource management. When the present Fisheries Act was enacted in 1949, the fisheries rights under the former Fisheries Act were lapsed with compensation, and “new” fishing rights were given to fishers. Thus, the notion that a fishing right is given not to each fisher but to each community/cooperative, which was what fishing rights should be, is not valid under the present Fisheries Act.The result of the law analysis proves that the results from our economic analysis are effective to solve the problem on efficient development and harvesting.
