: Significance of emotionally engaging factors such as fun or aesthetics has been pointed out in order to promote the spread of Green Infrastructure. One of the fine examples are "Artful Downspouts" whose design can appeal additional values and meanings of beauty, fun or enlightenment though the function of conveyance of run-off is the same as the ordinal ones. As there is no comprehensive report about "Artful Downspouts", this research organized the following information by collecting the photos via online: variety of design types, kinds of functions, distribution and increase rate. 351 photos were found in total. The location of 162 photos were revealed, of which 119 were in the United States. Most photos were found in the cities which had proactively introduced green infrastructure. The classification of design types was proposed from the information of changing parts of downspouts. As the result of summary counts based on the classification, 64 % of "Artful Downspouts" were made by altering the forms of the end of pipes or swapping the rain chains. It indicates the importance of easiness of installation. The design of 27 % had little relation with flood alleviation or nature conservation. It implies that "Artful Downspouts" could incorporates diversity of interest and its non-exclusiveness might have contributed to the dissemination of Green Infrastructure.

The Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis Linnaeus 1758), a rare raptor, is listed as an near threatened (NT) species on the red lists by the Ministry of Environment of Japan. Many guidelines about how to manage the forest have been suggested for habitat conservation of the Northern Goshawk, and suggested that active forest management is required to maintain appropriate habitat conditions for extended periods. However, there are few cases of actual active management in Japan. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the active forest management implemented in “The Forest of Accipiter gentilis, Daisen, Tottori Prefecture” by comparing the forest structure and avifauna before and after forest management and to suggest an appropriate management plan. A management plan (Management of pine tree density, improvement by cutting of broad-leaved trees that reached the sub-tall tree layer) was suggested based on the first survey by the Tottori Chapter of the Wild Bird Society of Japan and Tottori University in 2003, and this suggestion was implemented by Tottori Prefecture for the five ensuing years. A second survey, conducted after the management, revealed that pine trees with a large diameter at breast height (DBH) and open spaces between the canopy and understory foliage for flying were preferred as nest areas by the Northern Goshawk. In addition, there was a good foraging range around the case study area. The mosaic of farmland and forest of the Satoyama range was utilized by the Northern Goshawk for foraging. Forest management that includes (1) promoting growth of large diameter trees for nesting and (2) securing flight space in the forest was made clear appropriate for both the conservation of Northern Goshawk habitat and timber cultivation.

: Because of a natural monument fish species, Kissing loach (Parabotia curtus), and other endangered species of Satochi-Satoyama are still inhabited, the flood plain of Kameoka Basin was selected as one of the 500 sites of Ecologically Significant Satochi-Satoyama (Ministry of the Environment 2015). The significance is deeply related to the fact that the basin is prone to flooding by the existence of the narrow Hozu-kyo gorge, which provides tourists the impressive beautiful scenery while boating down the stream to the national registered scenic beauty of Arashiyama in Kyoto. The sports stadium project at the habitat of the fish is not a simple controversy between developments vs. conservation, because the current habitat of the species is a human-controlled river for the purpose of irrigation for rice paddies. The local farmers, who are willing to develop the stadium, have been taking part in the conservation activities by damming up the river water to facilitate egg laying of the fish. Therefore, not only to preserve the habitat, but also a comprehensive solution that enables to continue the traditional agricultural environment is needed for the conservation. More important issue is to take this opportunity to change our course from the “ Grey Infrastructure ” policy adopted in the age of urbanization, such as closing the existing open levees with river and gorge excavation, to the “ Green Infrastructure ” policy, inheriting the traditional Eco-DRR to ensure rich biodiversity and ecosystem services. The Kameoka basin could be a leading model case of “ Green Infrastructure ” in the era of population decline, following the promotions by MOE and MLIT of Japan. Several green-infrastructure solutions of rain gardens for urban areas are also proposed.
