In the policy " Measures of conserve and improve land, water and environment " , working funds was granted for the plan making and its continuous execution of the resource preservation activities performed by a rural resident cooperating In the rural region, it has been an important subject towards efficient operation of the measure to raise residents' participating motivation.
