For the last three years, the authors have conducted the fieldworks in Japan, Korea, China and Vietnam where the water environmental problems have been occurred. As a result, the presence of local governance such as participation of civil organizations into the decision making process of resource management, has impacted on the speed of policy-making on environmental protection and resource exploitation of lakes/tidelands in the four countries. Moreover, not only environmental policies but also regional development with regard to environmental issues should be considered especially for the comparison among the four countries.
