The purpose of this study is to consider the relationship between national forest management and community in modern Japan. This study analyzed using an official document that had been left in the AOMORI Regional Forest Office. National forest in Aomori Prefecture was having one of Japan's forest resources. From the early Meiji era, national forest in Aomori Prefecture was supporting the national infrastructure. National forest in Aomori Prefecture was very important in national forests in the country. Since the early 20th century, in the national forests, special management business began as a national project. This project was carried out based on operation plans. Operation plans handbook is a document that was created when you create with operation plans. From manual operation plans we can know the reality of national forest management and community. However, the relationship between national forest management and community, interest was high from the previous problem is the classification populace-owned and state-owned of forest. Forests Subject to Rights of Common were nationalized by the classification populace-owned and state-owned of forest. We have been thinking that farmers are no longer available for free to the nationalization of forest, therefore national forest management and community interests in the conflict. National forest management is probably what led to the only disadvantage to the community. Management of national forest in Aomori Prefecture from 1903 to 1928 study results of operation plans handbook of the year, got the following conclusions. Farmers were obtained from national forests for fuel. In addition, the farmers got their income from working in national forests. In this way, national forests have helped to maintain the community. Therefore, it is a mistake to think that national forest brings a disadvantage to the community, and national forest management and community interests in the conflict. Meanwhile, labor is needed in the management of national forests, had been sourced from the local community. Therefore, the relationship between communities and national forests was a symbiotic relationship.
