Abstract

A questionnaire survey by mail was done for all forestry owners'associations (FOAs) in Shikoku, to clarify the transfer of forest property rights and abandonment of reforestation efforts. The answers indicated that the main assets bought and sold are planted Japanese cedar or cypress forests, that these are 30-50th graders, that the main sellers are small-scale or very-small-scale forest owners, and that the main buyers are logging contractors. It is considered that abandonment of reforestation efforts easily happens after clear-cutting for a passive reason for forestry management. We also conducted a questionnaire survey and interview investigation on logging contractors, and found that they wanted to buy only standing trees, whereas forestland owners wanted to sell the trees with land.
