A Case Study for the Collaborative Management of the Urban Isolated Wetland

Abstract

This research reviewed how the civic group has developed their management system in the Negiuchi historical park. The system includes management planning, practical management and vegetative monitoring integrally. When the city had just called their civic volunteers, conflicts about the mowing policy among the members and lack of knowledge about wetland vegetation prevented their smooth communication. Introducing the regular meeting promoted sharing their opinions. Additionally, starting the vegetation monitoring made the volunteers understand the wetland vegetation dynamics, because they could receive the reports of the vegetation monitoring. To carry out an adaptive management scientifically in the study area, constructing more rational system is needed.
