 much for the introduction and it's a honor for me to share our research results here. And yes, hello, my name is Yuta Chiyama from Kobe University, Japan, and my presentation title is Green Infrastructure Management during the COVID-19 pandemic, Local Perception and Expectation on Urban Forest. And this is a photo taken in the pandemic period in Japan. People are still going out and enjoying the nature and it seems the attraction of nature became stronger, especially for the forest visitors these days. And in the green infrastructure management, we need to do it as a kind of with the inclusive method to make it more sustainable. And in that management, we need to consider the local perception and expectation on urban forest to involve the broad stakeholder related to the management. The contents of my presentation is a forest background visiting. It's about an existing study of forest visiting during the pandemic. And also, we will share the result of preliminary analysis. And lastly, I'd like to show some discussion point, which is about needs of inclusive management of citizens with different perceptions. And this is our previously published paper and I'm happy to share this paper if you are interested. Existing Studies. There are a lot of existing studies which are focusing on the visiting green areas during the pandemic. And they tended to focus on changes on number of visitors before and after the pandemic. And also, they're doing correlation analysis between individual attributes of the citizen and green area visit. But there are limited analysis on the impact of surrounding environments such as this pattern of residential places. So we conducted analysis on the impact of surrounding environment on forest visit. And these are the variables surveyed in this research, the first socio-economic attributes. And there are kind of basic attributes, including gender, age, annual household income, number of children in the household. And we also included environmental factors, which is difficult to stick to. And then these are the size of the areas of the district and also the ratio of these categories. And we asked the respondents whether they visited the urban forest run mountain in the emergency declaration period. The last question is about changes of awareness on the function of forest. This is a map which we used in this study. This is a highly solution map of land use pattern in the study site. The study site is located in the central part of Japan here. And it has Nagoya City, which is one of the biggest cities in Japan. And this is the information of online survey we conducted. Survey period is from July 31st to August 1st in 2020 and survey site is as per lecture. The number of respondents is 1244, including forest visitors. The number is 212. The first result is about reasons for visiting forest. As you can see in this figure, they tended to answer that the reason is to feel relaxed in the forest. And more than 40% of respondents answered to choose this reason. So that means the reason is related more on the mental or spiritual aspect of forest. And the second result is about awareness on the function of forest run. This figure shows the answer before and after the emergency period. And the blue bar shows the answer of forest visitor and red bar shows forest visitors. And this graph shows that they are more aware on the mental and physical acquisition space for the forest run. And after the emergency period, their awareness became strengthened or more stronger even before the pandemic emergency period. So it means before the forest visitor, they are more relatively more aware on the mental or spiritual aspect of forest function. And that became strengthened after experiencing the emergency period. And the last result is about environmental factors and forest visit. These two tables show that the forest visitor tended to live in relatively in rural areas with higher ratios of forest run. These are the results of the test. And we compared the average patient of forest run of essential area of forest visitor and non forest visitors in the left table. And it shows the ratio of forest run of essential area of forest visitor is significantly higher. And the right table shows the size of the residential district is significantly larger in the case of forest visitors. So that means they tended to live in the rural areas. This map shows the distribution of forest visitor and non forest visitors. The green shows the distribution of forest visitors. And as you can see in this figure, this is a central area of the logisticity in this prefecture. And respondents who are living in this central area, they didn't visit forest or mountains areas in the pandemic area in discussion. I'd like to share these two discussion points. One is a forest visitors are more aware of forest function in mental health care. And the second one is surrounding environment influences forest visit. These points are still need to be verified in more large scale research or research in different regional countries. But these are the kind of working hypothesis. In the future, it's as for the future research, we are now doing a research on identifying segment or profile for policy interventions using data of citizen social economic attributes and environmental factors. And specifically, now we are doing a categorization of citizen to find effective communication method for individual groups to involve them in management processes. Thank you for your attention.
