本文旨在从理论和实践两个角度阐明1986年在澳大利亚维多利亚兴起的一场著名的“土地保护”运动的特点。土地养护是一种独特的办法，采用“自下而上”（基于社区）和整体的方法来解决当地环境问题，不仅有助于有效解决当地环境问题，而且有助于建立社会复原力和社区网络，以适应澳大利亚农民面临的危机。本文从可持续发展理论的角度考察了土地保护的特点和原则，认为日本五濑镇现有的一个微型水电开发项目的运作原则与土地保护相似，即，生产和保护资本资产（自然和生产），知识共享，以及在Gokase居民中建立网络以实现可持续社区发展的机构。
This paper aims at clarifying the distinctive features of “Landcare”, which is a well-known movement in Australia and began in Victoria in 1986, from both theoretical and practical points of view. Landcare is a distinctive approach that adopts a “bottom-up” (community-based) and holistic methodology for tackling local environmental problems and has contributed not only to solving local environmental problems effectively, but also to building social resilience and community networking to adapt to the crises that farmers have faced in Australia. Examining the characteristics and principles of Landcare in light of sustainable development (SD) theory, this paper argues that an existing micro-hydropower development project in the town of Gokase in Japan operates on similar principles to Landcare, i.e., the production and preservation of capital assets (natural and produced), knowledge sharing, and institutions for creating networks among the residents in Gokase toward sustainable community development.
