: For the purpose of analyzing the relation between urban green-spaces and thermal environments, the data of a past graduation thesis performed at the “ Grand-Mall ” in the Minatomirai-21 area of Yokohama City were reviewed. Various thermal indicators and/or effect-indices, both of which would be concerned with the local heat environment, were newly quantified in this report. And streets and parks in the Grand-Mall were distinguished into six vegetation-landscape types as the principal unit with the revision of the previous classification. These units were divided into five main groups by combination of 11 landscape-zones in accordance with the significant correlations proved by means of the statistical analyses using various thermal data obtained in this study. Based on those results, authors have considered about the differences of the thermal effects that were caused by the qualitative and quantitative variations of constituent elements in each landscape-zone group. Moreover, some of creation methods of the sustainable urban green-spaces using the tree species which are suitable for the habitat there and can expect the improvement of the local heat environment were proposed.

: We applied select herbicides, chlorate and glyphosate, upon invasive bamboo forests and then monitored the herbicidal residue present within the fallen leaves, fine roots, soil, and stream water of the forests in question. In addition, we examined the effects of herbicides on seed germination and the understory vegetation within the bamboo forests studied. The herbicide chlorate nearly degraded completely within a one month period within the soil, whereas the herbicide glyphosate was slightly detected at low levels within the bamboo forest leaf fall, fine roots, and the soil. Simultaneously, none of the two applied herbicides were detected within nearby stream water during the assessment period. The possibility of herbicidal outflow from the application area is considered to be low. Among three tree species which are widespread within clearcutting sites, or the understory of bamboo forests, the germination rate of Zanthoxylum ailanthoides significantly decreased following the application of the herbicide chlorate. Furthermore, the understory vegetation within the bamboo forest was additionally surveyed in order to assess the effects of glyphosate application upon the vegetation. Following the application, vegetation coverage increased rapidly, reaching nearly double the amount of prior coverage before application across number of species, which included pioneer trees and herbs. It is assumed that glyphosate application caused effects akin to clearcutting via killing bamboos, since similar vegetation dynamics were reported within clearcutting sites. Taking all factors into account, the negative environmental impact of the select herbicides applied to bamboo forests should be limited in scope.

Roadkill (RK) refers to wildlife killed as a result of the collision with a vehicle. RK prevention is an important issue not only for environmental conservation but also for safe driving. In this study, we focused on RK records (RKR). RKR is an invaluable source of biological information that provides the basis for solving RK problems. The RKR can be used to identify RK hot spots, analyze the causes of its occurrence, propose preventive countermeasures, and understand the animal habitat. Moreover, RKR is big data with a large amount and variety. Therefore, the systematization of records is important. Previous studies have reported the content and management of RKR; thus, this study focuses on the current situation and issues of the RKR in Tottori Prefecture. Besides, future RKR improvements and methods are also proposed. Data on RKR were collected through interviews via phone, e-mail, and direct visits to related organizations such as road administrators, police department, prefectural departments that rescue injured birds and mammals, and local museums during the period from 2018 to 2019. Consequently, it was found that some organizations did not record RKR and even if it was collected, the data are too few to meet the need for countermeasure implementation and scientific analysis both from qualitative and quantitative points of view. One of the main reasons for insufficient records is the RK status in each organization. Nearly all organizations (except highway road administrators) did not utilize RKR for countermeasure implementation and analysis. In the future, it is desirable to improve the content and format of RKR, considering the importance and burden of RKR in each organization. Establishment of a suitable RK recording system and enactment of favorable RK policies are of paramount importance for the alleviation of RK.
