Forestry and the Forest Industry in Japan by Yoshiya Iwai Pdf

In recent years, Japan, like many other forest-dependent nations, has been facing difficult times: forest self-sufficiency is low; unplanted areas after harvesting are increasing; and forest industries and companies are losing international competitiveness in the global market. Such challenges, however, are not unique to Japan but are relevant - and all too familiar - to forest industry stakeholders around the world. This book, representing the work of distinguished Japanese scholars, is the first comprehensive English-language overview of forestry, forest management, and the forest products industry in Japan. Chapters address the biological and physical evolution of the forest, forest-dependent industries, the social impact of changes in forest utilization, current trends in the forest estate, and the relationship between urban population and rural forest land. Forestry and the Forest Industry in Japan will be welcomed by scholars, students, and policy makers in the areas of forest policy, international trade, international forestry, and forest products marketing.

Japanese Forestry and Its Implications by R. Fenton Pdf

One feature of forestry is the relative ignorance of foresters about what they are growing. This is often reinforced by lack of market interest and utilisation experience. This book intends to bridge these gaps of knowledge. Triggered by the author's economic analyses in the late 1960s, New Zealand forestry policy changed from 25 per cent of production for export to over 70 per cent. At the same time the Establishment had rejected the silvicultural approach the author had evolved which questioned certain fundamentals of conventional forestry. At that time, Japan had been taking up to 25 per cent of New Zealand's total log production, but there was no real understanding of the Japanese market. To study this in-depth, the author spent three years in Japan. The book contains the valuable research born out of his field work there, covering the marketing as well as the silviculture, sawnwood-grades and economic sides of plantation forestry. The book also included almost 40 photographs taken by the author on the various forest species in Japan. TARGET AUDIENCE: Policy makers, researchers, tertiary students, civil servants, local government officials and all those interested in silviculture, Japanese forestry and timber industry.

Japan and World Timber Markets by Peter Blandon Pdf

Two thirds of Japan is covered with forest that is rapidly reaching maturity and may have a tremendous impact on the timber market worldwide. However, the Japanese domestic timber industry, already shrinking, is being pushed to reduce harvests. This book examines these conflicting pressures and evaluates the potential impact worldwide of Japan's changing timber supply.

Global Concerns for Forest Resource Utilization by Atsushi Yoshimoto,Kiyoshi Yukutake Pdf

This book is a collection of papers presented at the international symposium on forest sector analysis held in Miyazaki, Japan, in 1998. It is structured with three themes: understanding global forest sector issues, discussing the contribution of modeling efforts to forest sector analysis, and discussing the role of Japanese forest policy in a global sense. The most important features are the case studies using various types of forest sector models. From a modeling perspective, changes in modeling efforts include more detail of spatial and multiple market levels, intergenerational welfare concerns, non-market valuation issues, and explicit treatment of the uncertainty inherent in both the policy process and in the biophysical systems. The reader of this book will benefit not only from presentation of forest utilization issues in different nations, but also from the interrelatedness of the theory and application of forest sector modeling.

Seeds of Control by David Fedman Pdf

Japanese colonial rule in Korea (1905–1945) ushered in natural resource management programs that profoundly altered access to and ownership of the peninsula’s extensive mountains and forests. Under the banner of “forest love,” the colonial government set out to restructure the rhythms and routines of agrarian life, targeting everything from home heating to food preparation. Timber industrialists, meanwhile, channeled Korea’s forest resources into supply chains that grew in tandem with Japan’s imperial sphere. These mechanisms of resource control were only fortified after 1937, when the peninsula and its forests were mobilized for total war. In this wide-ranging study David Fedman explores Japanese imperialism through the lens of forest conservation in colonial Korea—a project of environmental rule that outlived the empire itself. Holding up for scrutiny the notion of conservation, Seeds of Control examines the roots of Japanese ideas about the Korean landscape, as well as the consequences and aftermath of Japanese approaches to Korea’s “greenification.” Drawing from sources in Japanese and Korean, Fedman writes colonized lands into Japanese environmental history, revealing a largely untold story of green imperialism in Asia.
