Abstract
The major shift was urged on the energy policy of having placed mainly nuclear power generation up to now with a East Japan great earthquake that had occurred on March 11, 2011. The public opinion also aims at the breaking with nuclear power generation, and the voice to request conversions such as the force of the wind and sunlight into the natural reproduction energy becomes a lot of. Public interest foundation Japan Nature Preservation Association reduced, abolished the nuclear plant from it not was, and not treatable of waste, etc. by proper conditions of location, converted from geographical features and geological features feature of Japan into the natural reproduction energy, and made the standpoint public , that it was necessary to aim at the construction of the energy conservation society. On the other hand, in fiscal year 2010, the result, the wind power generation development, and the geothermal electric power development were decided to execute the deregulation sort, and to be going to advance the clarification of the relaxation of control, restricted content, and the permission standard etc. in the future because the development was controlled by restricting Natural Parks Law and the forest method in the Cabinet Council in the government besides such a chain of flows. In the wind power generation development, the friction of nature like the bird strike and the low frequency problem, etc. and the social climates is actualized, and the problem is being pointed out by the protest campaign in various places etc.However, there are not a lot of findings about the influence etc. given to Wildlife Park though it has gone up to the topic up to now about the competition with the hot spring resource in neighborhood in the power generation development. It was assumed that the topic offer of the influence that the geothermal electric power development gave to a national park was tried from the forecast of advancement by development in the underground part of Wildlife Park in this announcement in the future. It aims to offer the topic of the problem etc. in consideration of the relation to an important, national park in the biodiversity maintenance after the length place of the geothermal power generation is clarified, and to deepen the discussion.
