Abstract
The relation between distribution Japanese Wood Pigeon Columba janthina Temminck and land use pattern (landscape pattern) was analyzed in Izu Oshima. The study area was divided into 1451 mesh (250×250m). The landscape pattern in Iza Oshima was classified into eight types. Japanese Wood Pigeon used forest area (landscape pattern 1, Φ=0.171, p<0.01) and forest-agricultural area (landscape pattern 6, Φ=0.186, p<0.01) more frequently than expected value in breeding season. On the other hand, in non breeding season, they used forest area (landscape pattern 1, Φ=0.132, p<0.01), agricultural-residential area (landscape pattern 2, Φ=0.002) and fbrest-agdcultural area (landscape pattem6, Φ=0.102, p<0.01) more frequently than expected value.
