A Study on the Benefit Assessment of Environmental Management Cost for Recreational use of Forest

本研究的第一个目的是探讨森林游憩利用环境管理成本效益评估的可能性。第二个目的是探讨适应私有林的内部节约化途径。(1)对158个私有林进行问卷调查，了解其综合利用(尤其是游憩利用)的现状。揭示了森林面积、土地所有权、游客数量、游客属性、游客居住区、游客交通方式、管理方式、经营组织、所有者与经营者之间的关系、森林经营预算的存在等问题。(2)对16个民营林进行问卷调查，明确综合利用林经营成本。(3)通过对东京Tomin-no-Mori的游客进行问卷调查，了解游客的使用特征、对森林或林业的认识以及对森林经营成本的支付意愿。(4)在(1)-(3)结果的基础上，讨论了对森林游憩利用的环境管理成本进行效益评估的可能性，以及各私人森林成本的适用收取方式。

The first purpose of this study is to discuss the possibility of benefit assessment of environment management cost for recreational use of forest. The second purpose is to discuss the way of internal economization for adaptation to private forest.(1)A questionnaire was conducted on 158 private forests to clarify the actual state of the forest for integrated use (especially recreational use). Following points were revealed - forest area, land ownership, visitor numbers, visitor's attribute, visitor's residential area, visitor's traffic way, management style, organization for management, relationship between owner and manager, existence of the budget for forest management.(2)A questionnaire was conducted on 16 private forests to clarify the cost for management of forest for integrated use. We found the particular relationship between management cost and forest area or visitor numbers.(3)A questionnaire was conducted on visitors to Tomin-no-mori in Tokyo, to clarify the characteristics of use, the consciousness to forest or forestry, and WTP (Willingness To Pay) to the cost for forest management.(4)Based on (1)-(3) results, we discussed the possibility of benefit assessment of environment management cost for recreational use of forest, and the adaptable way of collection of the cost for each private forest.
