自然と人をつなぐ登山道を次世代へ

自然地理学をベースにした登山道の長期モニタリングを行い，登山道荒廃（登山道侵食）の要因の解明を目指しています．長期モニタリングの結果は，登山道の維持管理を行うための基礎データであり，今後の管理優先付け，維持管理策の評価やフィードバックに欠かせません．そして，登山道の長期モニタリング体制の構築実現のために様々な関係者を巻き込む仕組みづくりを目指します．

I have been conducting Long-term monitoring of mountain trails based on physical geography in Daisetsuzan National Park, Hokkaido, Japan. The aim is to clarify the factors contributing to trail degradation (trail erosion). The results of long-term monitoring are basic data for the maintenance and management of trails, and will be essential for future prioritization and maintenance management measures. My study also aims to create a framework to involve various stakeholders in the establishment of a long-term monitoring system for mountain trails.
