    Past studies establish that the Agricultural Land Holding Rationalization Corporation (ALHRC) reduces transaction cost and promotes land liquidation through farmland leasing. This study evaluates the impact of the introduction of ALHRC on farmland liquidation in Hokkaido by using the difference-in-differences method. The result indicates that the rate of farmland leasing increased from 3-4 percent in the communities where ALHRC was introduced.

    For developing a policy to control a crow population, we determined a planning area based on the characteristics of the Minimum convex polygon (MCP) method. The calculated MCP home-range size indicates that control policy measures should be conducted in conjunction with neighboring municipalities. We also used the fixed kernel method to estimate crow's core area, and then determined the land-use characteristics of this area. Crows used Lefy residential area, forest, fruits farm in Summer, they used fruits farm, urban area, forest in Autumn, and they used urban area, fuits farm, forest, grass farm in winter.

    After the Great East Japan Earthquake, a large number of earthquake and tsunami victims were forced to live in temporary housing. This paper examines living conditions in temporary housing in Ishinomaki City, Miyagi prefecture. Ishinomaki City was one of the areas severely hit by the tsunami and 134 temporary housing complexes were built, the largest number anywhere in this disaster. We categorized 134 complexes by size, location, type of method of relocation and establishment of complex community association, and then carried out a questionnaire survey at 20 temporary housing complexes. As a result of the survey, we concluded that the living conditions, community formation, and neighborhood communication and opinions regarding their future differed according to the typology and/or characteristics of temporary housing complexes and types of residents. The results will contribute to verifying the effectiveness of constructing temporary housing in disaster areas from a locational planning viewpoint and to recording the challenges faced and the degree of success achieved in restoring livelihoods in a post-disaster situation.
