Although Aso region still has about 22,000 hectare of grasslands, but it is difficult to maintain by themselves, so the method of maintenance and management has been changing to one in which not only the membership holders but also volunteers are involved. Based on the findings obtained through interview and literature reviews. It will summarize the background of the change in the value of the commons. And report the reality that the current commons have become lands that the membership owners cannot feel benefit of, and cannot be protected as their property.
