“Environment Impact Assessment Technique for Eco-Compatible River-Basin Management around Ise Bay” is the research project adopted as “Special Coordination Fund for Promoting Science and Technology” by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports and Technology during 2006-2011, where Nagoya University is a core organization and several national institutes committed to multiple ministries. This paper explains the basin concepts of this research project, which is represented by the terms “eco-compatible river-basin management” and “ecosystem service”, and the framework of the research plan which is composed of the 5 sub-themes: (1)Vision of river-basin management and social scenario,; (2)Strategic comparisons of proposed alternative sets of programs for improving or restoring ecosystem service; (3)Evaluation of ecosystem service; (4)Mechanism of ecosystem and mitigation techniques in river-basin; and (5)Mechanism of ecosystem and mitigation techniques in bay area. The river-basin around the Ise bay has still significant portion of un-urbanized area, rural and unexplored area and eco-compatible management is expected to enhance island ecosystem and bay area environment where fishery is active in balance with natural ecosystem in bay area. The research strategy is focusing the basic landscapes which constitute ecosystem and human activities in the river basin, and attempt to integrate ecosystem services of individual sub-landscapes for evaluating and mitigating the quality of river-basin.
