Recently, it has been reported that wild animals such as monkeys appear to human living space and might have damaged agricultural products at various places in Japan. The purpose of this study is to examine whether the change in land-use is related with the appearance of wild animals or not in a small city of east Yamanashi. An interview survey was conducted for 30 households that have been engaged in agriculture. The content of agriculture was the sericulture and cultivation of the self-consumption crops in 1945, however, only the latter is remained now. This change has brought on decrease of total tillage about one third and increase of abandoned mulberry fields. This survey showed there were three stages on changing land-use and contact with wild animals after 1945. First, the inhabitants watched the wild boars in their living area in 1965 when the mulberry fields were converted into other land-use such the fields for factories and of forestation. Then, the appearance of the boars began to increase and the monkeys began to be recognized in 1980's when the mulberry fields did not be cultivated completely. At the same time, those fields gradually became abandoned. Finally, in 1990's, all the inhabitants recognized appearance of boars and monkeys when the abandoned mulberry grew thick. Changes of living environments accompanied with the altered human occupational activity were expressed as the modified land-use with the change of agriculture, and they transfigured the natural environment. As the result, wild animals such as boars and monkeys are likely to appear to human living space.
