In recent years, demand for domestically produced bamboo has fallen and the number of neglected bamboo stands has grown. Consequently, the semi-natural landscape in Japanese rural areas has deteriorated. The aim of this research was, therefore, to explore the potential for utilization of bamboo stands by local residents as part of planned conservation of the regional landscape. Specifically, we studied the requirements for bamboo utilization by identifying how local residents could utilize bamboo effectively and what problems they faced in doing so. The research targeted Oita prefecture, where bamboo stands are abundant. The research method was interview surveys of relevant prefectural government departments and questionnaire surveys of elementary school and junior high school staff and civic activity groups in Oita prefecture, followed by analysis of responses. Use of Oitas bamboo resources not only by industry but also by local residents was desired. For local residents, effective utilization methods were those that allowed bamboo to be used easily. Problems around utilization were lack of time, lack of skilled people and lack of tools. Local residents were considered more likely to make effective use of bamboo stands and materials if provided with ongoing support for the problems around utilization.
