About

Satoyama studies is an interdisciplinary academic field investigating the traditional Japanese rural landscape (satoyama) as a dynamic socio-ecological production landscape (SEPLS). It examines the complex and evolving interactions between human societies and natural ecosystems within these areas, analyzing their historical transformation, ecological functions, cultural significance, and potential for sustainable management, biodiversity conservation, and fostering harmonious human-nature relationships, often drawing on empirical case studies and practical knowledge.
