The aim of this study is to clarify the transition of the motive of conservation of bodies of“Non Profit Organization The Japanese Association for MACHI-NAMI Conservation and Regeneration”. Authors paid attention to 1) when regional bodies for MACHI-NAMI conservation were organized, 2) objects of conservation, 3) the social background includes laws and municipality ordinances. So, 63 bodies of“Non Profit Organization The Japanese Association for MACHI-NAMI Conservation and Regeneration”, 57 former bodies, literatures were researched. The first regional body for MACHI-NAMI conservation is“TSUMAGO-WO-AISURUKAI” at TSUMAGO-SYUKU in 1968. And bodies for MACHI-NAMI conservation were organized in the temples and shrines-town, the castle-town, the merchant-town and village, the stage, the port, the mine-village, the hot spring-village, the traditional industrial-town, the farm or mountain or fishing-village, the region where there is the specific object of conservation. The MACHI-NAMI conservation has been developed by regional bodies for MACHI-NAMI conservation. So, MACHI-NAMI must be the object of conservation of regional bodies. MACHI-NAMI is not only the structure of architectural heritage. That is to say MACHI-NAMI is the regional landscape made up of newly recognized precious things which there have been in the region.
