A Proposal for Administration Policy of Naional Parks of Japan

Abstract

The problems concerning to the National Parks of Japan were ofen solved from political point of vew, and political conpromisings were used to precede to study of academic principles.
One of the fundamental reasons of this trend is that the National Parks of Japan are destined to have charge of two functions, conservation of nature and promotion of outdoor recreation in natural environment. And, also, we can not understand national parks administration in Japan without recognition of the significant role of the local goverments.
Under the cooperation of both local and national goverments, it is desirable to establish new direction of national parks administration policy.
