Abstract

Japanese rural economic development officers from Yoshino, Tanabe and Minabe on the Kii Peninsula of south central Japan, are exploring ways to re-invigorate the commercial potential of their forests, due to continued declining market demand for timber. These forests form part of the traditional Japanese satoyama upland management system and consequently are linked to broader economic development for struggling rural communities.
