It is important to form the ecological network that is linked preserved forest areas by ecological corridor to retain the biodiversity in urban area. We focused on small rivers running in city as one of the ecological corridor. To spread the ecological network over minutely, it is important to clear that role of the small river for network and maintenance it favorably. In this study, we selected the Lake Biwa canal running in urban area of Kyoto city and forest areas and residential areas near the canal. We investigated birds that are species indicate environment and trees along the canal. As a result, it was cleared that the Lake Biwa canal has a more positive influence on the biodiversity than residential areas. The positive influence is caused by the number of trees along the canal, and it was cleared that birds like forest and urban areas tend to come and go between forest and the canal more actively by increasing the number of arbor than by increasing species of trees.
