DEVELOPMENT ECO-DRR MAP FOR SLOPES CONSIDERING APLLICATION OF FOREST RESOURCES

Abstract

 In this study, we developed an Eco-DRR (Ecosystem based Disaster Risk Reduction) map for Mishima Town, Fukushima Prefecture, which is combine with forest industry and slope disaster reduction. As the information obtained from the map, we inducted suitable areas as produce paulownia tomentosa steudel. We expect the planting of paulownia tomentosa steudel to produce high quality timber and to control of slidding in slope failure. Suitable areas were determined from climate conditions, topographical conditions, and the characteristics and resistance of the paulownia tomentosa steudel.

 As a result, we found the existence of 8 suitable areas located on the upper slope zone of Mishima town. In addition, the points to be considered for planting forest were summarized compare suitable areas to the current vegetation situation. Through this research, Case example data has been prepared to build a social system to climate change adaptation.
