概要

The characteristics of the Japanese protected area systems are generally considered to designate areas by law and to regulate land-use for the public welfare by conserving certain levels of valued natural features. These systems are not based on land ownership, as is commonly observed in the United States.The representative system is the Natural Park similar to the National Park. I consider the Japanese Natural Park to be composed of two parts. One part is the core area and the other is the surrounding area. The Natural Park authority does not have land ownership of the core area. The greater part of the core area is usually public land, such as a National Forest. The Natural Park authority makes an agreement with the public land authority to handle this area as a core area of the protected area and prohibit any construction except for limited types for public use. Therefore, it is not wrong to consider this area to be based on land ownership. On the other hand, the surrounding area belongs to a national or local authority or the private sectors. In this area, many types of land-use are acceptable to the extent that there is no significant destruction of nature. Natural parks often contribute to local economic development by increasing public use. As a result, natural parks have comed to occupy large areas in Japan. The purpose of this paper is to observe and to examine the validity and limits of this system.
