摘要

木質バイオマス供給源の1つとなる森林は，“その有する国 土の保全，水源のかん養，自然環境の保全，公衆の保健，地 球温暖化の防止，林産物の供給等の多面にわたる機能”1を有 している。%In Japan, a lot of man-made forest is not appropriately managed. Considering problems of them and international tendencies, we need to manage forest suitably to regional ecosystems and forestry from now on. This study implicates political measures for it particularly focusing on Japanese private forest, referencing to the forest policy and naturenear forestry of Baden-Wurttemberg in Germany. In conclusion, it is generally necessary to strengthen participations of the administrative authority in private forest maintenance, improve the density of road network in forest and achieve the real decentralization in the field of forest policy, taking care international tendencies. In the forest particularly aimed at fulfilling the multifunction of forest it is necessary to introduce naturenear forestry. We should politically support and promote research and development.
