“…The coastal pine forest has provided shade to people coming to swim in summer, and the landscape composed of green forest with the white beach has been beautiful scenery for both visitors and local residents. Thus, the coastal pine forest is an important green infrastructure, which provides several ecosystem services (Asanami et al 2020), and most coastal pine forests have been designated as forest reserves by the Forest Act for keeping a function of disaster risk reduction (hereafter DRR). In addition, several forests have been preserved as scenic beauty reserves by the Act on Protection of Cultural Properties for retaining the scenic value of the area.…”

We studied the social system to maintain collaborative activities for restoring and conserving coastal pine forests in Karatsu City, Saga Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan. Governance has been structured and functioned in most conservation processes; administrative offices of the state, prefecture, and city, business sector, and Civil Society Organization have acted interdependently, and network members have continuous interaction under the management of an NPO group known as KANNE. KANNE has filled in a structural hole in the social network. KANNE plays a special role as the hub. Social ties, however, are very weak, and hence the system continuity is fragile. If KANNE stops its work, the network structure will collapse. As an internal circumstance of KANNE, most management works have been governed by the secretary-general, and any person who can act as a substitute is now absent. Installing a system to develop human resources within KANNE is important to retain conservation activities.
