Abstract

The research were identified terraced land use change and its causality as
well as analyzed the relationship with irrigation management systems in a terraced
paddy landscape in Hokudan-Cho, Awaji Island, Hyogo Prefecture, Central Japan.
Between 1963 and 2000. As the result, the land use change from 1963 to 2000 was
dominated by the decrease of terraced paddy field into other utilizations. It became
clear that the social factors which cannot be seen directly in the field induced
influences on the pattern of landscape change and the land management in the two
types of irrigation system. Customary social rules which is contained in Tazu system
were strongly contributed to the sustainability of the terraced paddy fields. Hoping
this research also can be an inspiration to conserve the landscape of terraced paddy
field in Bali Island.
