ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ECOSYSTEM DISTRIBUTION AND LAND USE PATTERNS USING NATURAL ENVIRONMENT SURVEY

Approximately 1.75 million species of organisms exist on the earth. In recent years, however, this biodiversity has been lost due to environmental destruction caused by humans and other factors, and many wild creatures around the world are in danger of extinction. Therefore, it is necessary to conserve biodiversity in the future.

In this study, focusing on Ishikawa Prefecture, the analysis can be conducted with the aim of understanding the actual state of biodiversity loss. Using the natural environment survey conducted by the Ministry of the Environment's Biodiversity Center, the relationship between land use patterns, human activities, and the distribution of organisms can be analyzed, and the impact of human activities on the habitats of each species can be clarified.

This study analyzes human activities based on population distribution, land prices, and land use patterns in Ishikawa Prefecture, and evaluates population and human activities.

Furthermore, the distribution of each species inhabiting Ishikawa Prefecture can be clarified, and the relationship with population and human activities can be analyzed.

In addition, for each species of interest, an analysis of the relationship between the population and the number of species for each mesh will be performed.

While some species, such as birds, mammals, butterflies, and moths, have seen limited increases and decreases in the number of species, amphibians, reptiles, dragonflies, cicadas, and beetles have increased over a wide range.

A positive correlation was observed between population and the number of species of birds, dragonflies, cicadas, beetles, amphibians and reptiles, confirming a relationship between population and habitat. No correlation was found between population and the number of species of mammals, butterflies, and moths, confirming that there is no relationship between population and habitat.

In the future, environmental factors such as global warming and meteorological conditions, biological factors such as vegetation, pollution and alien species should be considered as factors that affect the habitat of organisms.
