Responding to the call for papers for “Future scenarios for socio-ecological
production landscape and seascape” as a special feature of Sustainability Science
in 2017 (Takeuchi et al. 2017), nearly 30 abstracts were submitted. In January
2019, 16 articles were published as a part of this special feature (Saito et al. 2019).
In parallel with this special feature, we started editing this book by selecting studies which fit well with the aim and scope of this book from the pool of collected
abstracts. Out of 9 chapters, 5 chapters (Chaps. 1–3, 8, and 9) emerged from the
PANCES project, 2 chapters (Chaps. 6 and 7) from the International Partnership
for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI: https://satoyama-initiative.org/), and 2 chapters
(Chaps. 4 and 5) from external partners in Japan and Bangladesh. The manuscripts outside of the PANCES project were selected on the basis of the quality of
the studies, and their practical implications to sustainable management of socioecological production landscape and seascape. We would like to acknowledge
that most of case studies and review works in this book were funded by the
Environment Research and Technology Development Fund (S-15 “Predicting and
Assessing Natural Capital and Ecosystem Services” (PANCES), Ministry of the
Environment, Japan.
