On the Regional Environmental Policy for Conservation of the Environment and Economic Development of the Region

本研究项目的主要目的是对区域发展进行理论和实证研究。我们的重点是与环境和文化保护相适应的区域发展政策。我们在这里采用的基本方法与公共池方法有关。这种方法最初由Ostrom提出，强调区域人民进行有效管理的可能性，并将地方和中央政府对人民活动的协调政策措施与公共政策相结合。我们的研究也集中在九州和关东地区的NPO活动。我们的研究内容包括：森林管理、流域管理和生态旅游管理。在森林经营管理方面，分别对大田基地、日本的防护林制度和中国地区的退耕还林政策进行了实证研究。这两项研究都证明了区域人民与政府合作管理的重要性。在流域管理方面，研究了大川地区和Onga河流域两个区域。事实证明，水与人民生活的关系已经发生了巨大的变化，管理制度已经崩溃。但也表明，在这些地区，人们保护流域环境状况的活动一直在发展。近年来，生态旅游被认为是在不破坏生态环境的前提下发展区域经济的重要措施。与此相关，我们不仅对日本地区进行了实证研究，而且对亚洲特别是蒙古进行了实证研究。研究发现，影响生态旅游发展的因素具有共性。他们缺乏所需的人力资本和信息。事实证明，公共池方法对于研究与环境保护相适应的区域管理政策是非常有用的概念。少

The major purpose of this research project is to give the theoretical as well as empirical studies of the regional development. We focus on the development policy of the region that is compatible with environmental and cultural conservation. The fundamental approach we employ here is the one related to the Common Pool approach. This method, originally given by Ostrom, stresses on the possibility of the efficient management by the people of the region and incorporates the harmonized policy measures of the people's activity with the public policy by the local as well as central government. Our research also focuses on the NPO activities in the Kyushu and Kanto regions.The contents of our research include ; Forest management, Water basin management and Ecotourism management. As far as the forest management is concerned, we have empirical research on the field-work base, the Protection Forest System in Japan and the Greening-for-Grain policy in China region. Both researches prove the impor … More tance of the cooperative management between people of the region and the government. As for the water basin management, two regions, fosse in the Ohkawa region and Onga river basin, are studied. It is proved, that the relationship between water and life of the people has drastically changed and the management system has collapsed. However it is also shown that people's activity to conserve the environmental situation of the water basin has been developing in these regions. Recently ecotourism is considered as key measures to develop the regional economy without deteriorating the environment. In connection with this, we gave some empirical researches not only on the Japanese region but also on the Asia, particularly Mongolia. We found that there are common factors to disturb the development of ecotourism. They are lack of the human capital as well as information to be needed. It is proved that the common pool approach is very useful concepts to study the regional management policy to be compatible with environmental conservation. Less
