Assessment of the current status of tourism town development targeting the use of natural resources within the biosphere reserve in the town of Odai, Taki County, Mie Prefecture, Japan.

Interviews with stakeholders and typology

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to identify factors that should be considered in order to balance tourism and community development in biosphere preservation areas and to evaluate the current situation. In conducting the study, we took into account the division of the area by zoning. As a result, it was confirmed that although natural resources exist in common in each area, their importance for resource conservation fluctuates depending on differences in the living environment, including the surrounding urbanization status.
