Problem
Artificiality of parkland
Other Names:
Green belts Incidence:
A contrast with the artificial division of land into economic or enjoyable is provided by residential forests of Japan, where a village grows up along the edge of a forest, the villagers tend and care for the forest, and the forest is available to anyone who wants to come and partake in the process. That this system is beneficial to the land, as well as to the villagers, is shown by the fact that these residential forests are still intact although they were established more than 300 years ago.
