摘要:We surveyed and analyzed the current status of household energy consumption and use of firewood and other wood biomass in the town of Mishima, Fukushima Prefecture for the purpose of building a supply chain model for forest resource use in mountainous regions. The number of questionnaires returned was 341, with a response rate of 48.6%. The survey results revealed that approximately 9% of households were using wood biomass combustion devices. Annual firewood consumption per household was 3 m3 , and over 90% of the raw logs used were procured inside the town. The difference in the ages of the houses of firewood users and non-users suggests that building structure may have influenced this result.
