Future prospects for Japan's coastal zone management system based on institutional analysis : A Trial design with particular respect to fishery communities

海岸带是一个由海洋和陆地环境组成的复杂自然系统。由于其重要的资源和独特的环境，它被各种沿海用户过度使用。因此，需要对沿海区进行成功的管理。然而，对于沿海区的使用者来说，并没有最佳的解决办法，因为沿海区管理的目标对所有使用者和有关当局来说各不相同。许多沿海国家为建立最佳的沿海区管理进行了大量尝试。然而，很少有人注意到为什么和如何在一个特定的区域或地区发展成功的沿海区管理。因此，本研究试图分析区域海岸带管理制度的发展在日本进行的几个案例研究的基础上。几个发展阶段进行了观察，并描述了它们的特点。并对这种转变的机理进行了分析。作者还提出了一个电路模型，解释了以知识创造为重点的管理系统的转型变化。该模型可以通过自主地创建、转换和引入知识，为适应性管理提供有用的进化设计。作者认为，该模型可以成为一个独特的和有用的工具，设计一个地方海岸带管理系统。这项研究可能是第一个记录以知识为基础的沿海区管理办法的研究。

The coastal zone is a complex natural system consisting of a marine and a terrestrial environment. It is used excessively by a variety of coastal users because of its important resources and its unique environment. Thus, the need for successful coastal zone management arises. However, there is no best solution for users involved in the coastal zone because the goals of coastal zone management vary for all users and the authorities concerned. A large number of attempts have been carried out in many coastal states to build optimal coastal zone management. Nevertheless, little attention has been given to why and how a successful coastal zone management has developed in a particular region or district. Therefore, this study attempts to analyze the development of regional coastal zone management system based on several case studies carried out in Japan. Several development stages are observed and their characteristics are described. The mechanism of the transition is also analyzed. The author also proposes a circuit model that explains transformational changes in management system by focusing on knowledge creation. The model can provide a useful evolutionary design for adaptive management by creating, transforming and introducing knowledge autonomously. The author believes that the model can be a unique and useful tool for designing a local coastal zone management system. This study may be the first to document a knowledge-based approach to coastal zone management.
