Abstract

<p>The forest environment transfer tax was been introduced in 2019 and is expected to support and facilitate municipal-level forest policies. The revenue from the tax can be used to promote utilization of timber and wood products and education in cities. Although forestry is not a main industry and forest policies are not active in urban municipalities, cities need to make relevant policies and implement the policies using the tax revenue. In this earliest stage of the new tax scheme, it is necessary to monitor the status of policy making and the plan for the policy implementation to improve the tax scheme for sustainable forest management with urban and rural municipalities. To identify the influence of the new tax scheme on municipal forest policies and ordinance-designated cities’ policies which are implemented using the revenue of the forest environment transfer tax, a questionnaire survey was conducted. As results, policies of promotion of timber and wood product use were detected as major policies. Compared with the prefectural-level policy trend, more diverse trends were detected in the policies of the cities. As a preliminary analysis result of background of their diversity, it was revealed that promotion of forest accumulation plans tends to be prioritized in the cities with relatively large forest lands per capita. The detailed analysis of the relationships between characteristics of the cities and their policies will be conducted in future research.</p>
