Wild animal habitat evaluation method, apparatus and program

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, an apparatus and a program for evaluating living conditions of wild animals by which the living conditions of the wild animals can simply be evaluated in a short time. SOLUTION: This method for evaluating the living conditions of the wild animals comprises determining vegetational divisions of vegetations growing in each section prepared by dividing an area of an object into a latticelike state, allocating identifiers (e.g. colors) corresponding to the divisions to each section, drawing an area vegetational figure and preparing an animal and vegetational correspondence table recording the vegetational divisions where the wild animals are capable of living and the lower limit of the spread of communities of the habitable vegetations for the respective wild animals of an object of evaluation. Thereby, only the section of the habitable vegetational divisions is extracted for the respective wild animal of the object of evaluation from the area vegetational figure based on the identifiers to prepare a living evaluating vegetational figure. The spread of a region in the living evaluating vegetational figure is compared with the lower limit to thereby evaluate the living possibility of the animals of the object of evaluation. In the case of the animals moving between mutually separated habitable vegetational communities, the upper limit of the adjacent distance between movable habitable vegetational communities is recorded in the animal and vegetational correspondence table. As a result, the distance between the adjacent regions in the living evaluating vegetational figure is compared with the upper limit to thereby evaluate the living possibility.
