In Japan, June 2004, the Landscape Law was enacted, together with amendments of the Urban Open Space Conservation Law and the Outdoor Advertisement Law, and these laws are being called Keikan-midori San Pou (the three laws for Landscape and Greenery). This study was conducted to clarify the law system for urban landscape and green space through comparing with the case of Japan. The similar Korean laws are the Urban Parks and Open Spaces Law, Outdoor Advertisement Law, and the Landscape Law. This law system was made under the influences of the Japanese one, but it has some differences too. The purpose of this study is to clarify the characteristics of the Korean law system for conservation and development of urban green space and landscape, and to analyze the differences from the Japanese system and their reasons. As a result, it was remarkable that in Korea the laws with different establishment process or objective tend to be integrated under the new ideas or aims. While being affected by Japanese low system, the national territory plan and the city planning were integrated, and the open space conservation and the Urban Parks Low were integrated too. In this process, the relationships and hierarchy among related lows have become very clear. It was also characteristic that the Korean low system has the green space area as one of the land use categories and has urban nature park area that was specialized to the aims of urban nature conservation and management.
