Abstract

Environmental management systems (EMS) have been applied by various kinds of organizations and have spread worldwide. This paper focuses on the EMS as a tool for realizing sustainable 'machizukuri' (community development) based on the theory of sustainability. Observing that ISO14001:2015 revisions include the theory of sustainability, EMS implementations by local governments, enterprises and residents are discussed in terms of the principle of local autonomy. From the above, we indicate a future research direction for sustainable community development.
