It has been observed that market failure has hampered the development of sustainable forest ecosystem services such as CO₂ absorption and fixation, water retention, and biodiversity. One of the reasons for this is that the link between forest land use and the beneficiaries of that use has not been widely recognized or clearly established. To address this problem, we conducted a footprint analysis to clarify the linkage between Japanese taxpayers as the beneficiaries of forest land use and the use of tax revenue and monetary donations for forest management. This study focuses on how the current forest tax collected from Japanese taxpayers (63 billion Japanese yen) could be allocated more fairly. The question of whether the collected taxes are sufficient is left for another time. At the core of our analysis, we examined the carbon footprint and established a linkage between the origins of CO₂ emissions in Japan and their destinations by using a subnational multiregional input–output database and building a base table focused on various land use types and subnational regions at the municipality level. By clarifying these linkages and enhancing their transparency, we provide a basis for developing alternative financing schemes involving both taxation and taxpayer donations in support of forest management activities and protection of biodiverse habitats.

从森林服务足迹看森林纳税义务

据观察，市场失灵阻碍了可持续森林生态系统服务（如CO _{2）的发展。}吸收和固定，保水和生物多样性。原因之一是尚未广泛认识或明确建立林地使用与该用途的受益者之间的联系。为了解决这个问题，我们进行了足迹分析，以阐明日本纳税人作为林地使用的受益人与税收和货币捐款在森林管理中的使用之间的联系。这项研究的重点是如何更公平地分配从日本纳税人那里征收的现行森林税（630亿日元）。所征税款是否足够的问题再待一遍。在分析的核心部分，我们检查了碳足迹并建立了CO ₂来源之间的联系。通过使用一个国家以下地区的多区域投入产出数据库并建立一个基础表来关注日本及其目的地的排放量，该基础表侧重于市政一级的各种土地使用类型和地方以下地区。通过阐明这些联系并提高其透明度，我们为制定替代性融资计划提供了基础，该计划涉及税收和纳税人捐赠，以支持森林管理活动和生物多样性栖息地的保护。
