Abstract
GIS Analysis of the Habitat of the Asian Black Bear Track: Forestry, Wildlife, and Fisheries Management Author(s): Mizoguchi Toshio Through the summer to fall in 2006, some bears were observed in the southern part of Abukuma Mountains in Fukushima, Japan. The bears were believed not to live in the area until then, and it was founded that the bears migrated to the area afterward. Yet, at the same time, the GIS analysis on the area by a Non-Profit Organization showed that the environmental structure of the area has been suitable enough for bears to inhabit. This research is about the GIS analysis to study ecological conditions for inhabitants of the wild bears, problems of the land developments, such as constructions of an express way and a rail line, in the area in terms of inhabitants of wild animals, reasons for the bears' migration to the area.
