A shrine forest is decreased and devastated for declining traditional management group in metropolitan area. It is need that effective support for management to shrine forest based on a capturing demand for protection of each management group. We consider a model from review that is defined by problem of management and current using shrine. We conducted clustering shrine by the two factors. We conducted questionnaire investigation for 357 management groups of shine in Nagoya city and outlying four cities. In results, responses of questionnaire investigation were 146 (collection rate: 46%). We conducted analysis of principal component and cluster analysis using main components of questionnaire, types of management group, management orientation, and environment of shrine. We could describe 5 groups by the demand for protection to shrine forest. The 5 groups have each different area, stand site, and perspective for conservation cultural services. The largest type has a conservation policy of various cultural services - recreation, scenic beauty, environmental education etc. The other types have not conservation policy of cultural services. But all types have same conservation policy with traditional event. The results would be used valid for constructing management support policy of shrine forest in metropolitan area.
