Howling out of landownership: Pathological state of Monsoon Asia and the measures

本研究聚焦于季风亚洲山区所有权的空心化过程。研究领域为日本、台湾和韩国。从日本的一个案例来看，在地籍上登记的土地所有者中，有一半以上已经去世，继承程序也没有完成。大部分居住在城市的继承者对土地管理失去了兴趣。然后所有权的掏空就开始了。在台湾，少数民族生活在山区，与城市的一些劳动力市场隔绝，一直留在家乡。因此，所有权空心化的问题得到了相当程度的缓解。在韩国，继承或拥有土地的人比日本更容易出售或出租土地。即使在山区，土地交易也很活跃。因此，所有权空心化问题并未明显显现。

This research has focused hollowing out process of ownership in the mountainous area of Monsoon Asia. The study field is Japan, Taiwan and Korea. From a case study of Japan, more than half of owners of land registered on the cadaster have already passed out and the procedure for succession also has not been done. Most of the successors living urban have lost interest in the land management. Then the hollowing out of the ownership begins. In Taiwan, minority living in the mountainous areas isolated from some labor market in urban and has remained in the hometown. Therefore the problem of hollowing out of the ownership has rather mitigated. In Korea, successors or owners easily sell or rent their land more easily than in Japan. The transaction of land is active even in mountainous areas. As the results, the hollowing out of ownership problem has not been observed apparently.
