抄録

The rural landscape is a significant pull motivation in green tourism (GT). It is necessary to make efforts in each area to continue to improve policies for the formation and conservation of rural landscapes that contribute to GT. This study clarified the actual conditions of descriptions in landscape plans from the viewpoint of the formation and conservation of such landscapes. Our analysis focused on the orchard landscape. We reviewed the papers on GT and landscapes, and classified the viewpoints of landscape plans that considered GT. We examined the landscape plans of municipalities in Japan and extracted descriptions of orchard landscapes. We analyzed the correspondence between the sentences regarding orchard landscape and the GT items. A total of 132 local governments included descriptions of orchard landscapes in their landscape plans. Many municipalities tended to adopt policies on improving the quality of the rural landscape and on considering the characteristics of the rural landscape. Not only the policy on the formation of landscapes but also that on encouraging agriculture was written about extensively in landscape plans.
