Common resource management and environmental problems of the wetlands in East Asia

近三年来，作者在日本、韩国、中国和越南等发生水环境问题的国家进行了实地调查。因此，地方治理的存在，如民间组织参与资源管理的决策过程，影响了这四个国家的环境保护和湖泊/滩涂资源开发的决策速度。此外，在对四国进行比较时，不仅应考虑环境政策，还应考虑环境问题方面的区域发展。

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.
