Abstract
In this study, we estimate the impacts of farmland policy on the land use conversion and species habitats. Focusing on the policy change in 1991, we do the following two analyses. First, we set up multiple scenarios of farmland policy change, we estimate the land use conversion ratio for each policy scenario. Comparing the results, we estimate the impacts of policy change in 1991. Second, we estimate the relationship between land use and habitat preferences of several species. By combining the result of first analysis, we estimate the impacts of farmland policy change on the species habitats.
