Figuring out human impacts on the vegetation of Midagahara, Tateyama by using past maps and aerial photographs
2019
Ohmiya, T. | Kobayashi, H.
For conservation of natural landscape of Midagahara area, Tateyama, we studied historical traces of human impact on the natural environment by examination of aerial photos and old maps including this area. GIS analysis elucidated changes of walking paths since 1912 with newly developed paths, roadway and abandoned paths. Spatial overlaps between some abandoned paths and historical root for pilgrimage to Mt. Tateyama were also reconfirmed. Field observation evoked us fear of continuous erosion in such abandoned paths where soil was ripped deeply. For this area is included in Ramsar Conservation site and historical heritage region, proper and cautious operation of ground improvements and reconstruction of vegetation together with potential historical remains are required.
