    There is a trend of decrease in population in rural areas, and community-based planning is becoming an urgent issue to be addressed. This means that there is a growing need for developing young people into active members of the community, and consequently that local high schools are responsible for such education. This case study aims to reveal what role high schools are expected to play in community-based planning, based on a survey of high school students' awareness of forests in NAGANO Prefecture. It is suggested that developing a community-based planning process involves a holistic point of view made up of two factors. One is a universal point of view based on scientific knowledge, and the other is a regional point of view rooted in such factors as the landscape and the lifestyle peculiar to the region concerned. The conclusion is, therefore, that local high schools take the primary responsibility for the development of young people into active members of the community who have a holistic point of view.

    This study explored local governments' efforts of land use coordination in the disaster affected rural areas of Miyagi, taking Suginoshita district and Yamamoto eastern district as a study area. Major challenges faced by the two districts are two folds. The first is the fact that multiple reconstruction projects have been implemented in parallel in one district, causing the issue of inter-program coordination. The other is the existence of many plots of non-agricultural land which were not purchased by a municipal government when the government implemented the collective relocation of residences. This study argued the nature of these challenges in the disaster-affected areas and how land consolidation projects could contribute to deal with these challenges.
