  1. Assessment Process: Exploring Satoyama-Satoumi RenaissanceOverview of Japan Satoyama Satoumi Assessment (JSSA) 22 October 2010 Maiko Nishi, UNU-IAS

  2. Key Features of JSSA • Assessment of current state of knowledge– a critical evaluation of information on the interaction between humans and satoyama and satoumi landscapes in Japan using theMA framework of ecosystem services • Launched in 2007, contribution by 200 plus authors, stakeholders, and reviewers from Japan and abroad; peer reviewed • Governed bymulti-stakeholder board and governmental advisory committee (national and local governments, academia, NGOs, etc.) and review process overseen by independent review board

  3. Board 2 Co-Chairs, a Board members & Governmental Advisory Committee Science Assessment Panel 2 co-chairs (local & int’l.) & panel members Secretariat coordination , outreach /comms, and technical support Author Groups Each group consists of Coordinating Lead Authors (CLAs); Lead Authors (Las); and Contributing Authors (CAs). National Group Cluster Groups Local Advisory Bodies Stakeholders/users from each location Review Board Chair Chapter Review Editors Governance Structure

  4. Methodology and Key Concepts Adopting the MA conceptual framework – Ecosystem Services 直接的要因 間接的要因 供給サービス 安全 基盤サービス 選択と行動の自由 里山・里海 基本的物資 調整サービス 健康 文化的サービス 社会的関係 (JSSA, 2010) Ecosystem Services 生態系サービス Human Well-being 人間の福利

  5. Key Findings: What has been learned from the JSSA? • Mosaic Composition • The mosaic composition of different ecosystem types managed by humans to produce a variety of ecosystem services benefiting human well-being. • Drop in Resiliency • Decline over the last 50 years, resulting in a drop in their resiliency to produce a sustainable supply of ecosystem services • Consequence for Humans and Biodiversity • Continued loss of satoyama and satoumi landscapes has important and potentially negative consequences for human well-being and biodiversity. • Integrated Interventions • Integrated approaches, including citizen participation, have been implemented increasingly over the past 10 years. • New “Commons” • Critical to the success of a more integrated and holistic approaches to ecosystem management is creation of a new “commons”.

  6. Recommendations:What are the implications for policymakers moving forward? • Take a Satoyama-Satoumi Approach • Policies that take a satoyama-satoumi approach towards managing biodiversity and ecosystem services (recognizing the mosaic composition and their inherent interlinkages) should be developed. • Decentralized Decision-making • New institutions should be designed under the lends of landscape governance that can manage both public and private lands to govern the “new commons” and allow for decentralized decision-making. • Equitable Access and Use • Institutions that complement the institutions of the new commons should be designed to ensure equitable access and use of ecosystem services. • A 10-year research programme • A 10-year research programme to gain a better understanding of the dynamics of the ecosystems, their linkages, and their relationship with human well-being and biodiversity should be devised, for input to international assessment processes. • Assessments with a Wide Scope • Comprehensive, integrated assessments of potential satoyama and satoumi ecosystems across a number of developing and developed countries should be conducted. - establish baselines of ecosystem services and form an epistemic community

  7. Findings and data: • Released • Summary for Decision Makes (SDM) in English and Japanese • Policy Brief in English • 6 cluster reports in Japanese • To be released • National Report in English (early in 2011 through UNU Press) • National Report in Japanese (end of 2010 through Asakura Publishing)

  8. What are satoyama and satoumi? Satoyama Satoumi JSSA defines satoyama and satoumi landscapes as dynamic mosaics of managed socio-ecological systems producing a bundle of ecosystem services for human well-being.
