In the Satochi-Satoyama, located in Urbanization Control Area, it is important that a land use consensus is reached between the residents and the municipalities. This study attempts to clarify points of discussion about land use by comparing local residents’ consciousness of land use and the land use policies of municipalities. Kisawa-area, Hiratsuka-city is adopted as a case study. The local residents’ consciousness of land use is referred to Kojima et al.(2018). A literature survey is conducted to develop an understanding of the municipalities’ land use policy. As a result, there are two areas of discussion between residents and the municipalities concerning the land use policy. The first is the location and scale of developed residential lots. While residents hope to develop residential lots on farmland and forest area in order to improve their living environment and the environment of Satoyama, since 1998 the municipal government has regulated development to conserve farmland and forest areas. Instead, municipality seeks to establish new residential lots within village boundaries. The second is the effect of civic action to conserve the Satoyama environment. While municipalities have published policies to promote civic action to conserve and maintain the Satoyama environment, residents regard such civic action as ineffective.
