Landscape Research Japan Online, 2015

:There is a growing attention to the concept of the coupled social-ecological system (SES) where human and biophysical systems are intricately linked. This recognition calls for a more integrated approach for the sustainable use and conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity. In this paper, we identified hotspot of social-ecological production landscapes (SEPLs) of the Noto Peninsula, Ishikawa, where both human-perceived social and physically measured ecological values overlap. Questionnaire survey was conducted targeting at residents of and (potential) visitors to the Noto Peninsula to explore human-perceived landscape values of the study area. The result of questionnaire survey was geo-referenced to develop value surfaces of twelve landscape values with a Geographic Information System (GIS). In addition, the ecological value map was developed employing Satoyama Index as an indicator for agricultural landscape heterogeneity, which was then overlaid with the maps of landscape values to identify spatial distribution of hotspots of social-ecological production landscapes. Our analysis identified that hotspots existed across the study area, especially in coastal plains of suburban areas where diverse land use with multiple landscape values were observed. We concluded the paper by discussing the limitations and potential managerial implications of hotspots mapping of social-ecological production landscapes for sustainable landscape management.
