14 Comparative Studies on Pattern and Ecosystem Services … |

In 2010, a report on the background of the “Satoyama Initiative” compared cases from many countries, including Kenya, Tanzania, Argentina, Mexico, Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Bangladesh, India, Spain, Australia. In this report, the Satoyama landscape was defined as a “socio-ecological production landscape,” a name which highlights the various physical structures, management techniques, and governance systems that characterize these landscapes, the benefits they provide, or the threats they currently face. In this way, the “Satoyama Initiative” can reorganize the importance of these landscapes for ecosystem services and human well-being, as well as promote reconstructing mechanisms for managing such landscapes internationally (Takeuchi 2010). The Hani terrace landscape should learn from these international cases, such as the Satoyama crises, to avoid the negative effects of modernization and globalization and instead cultivate a sustainable path to development.
