東京圏における里地保全に関する条例の規定内容の把握

Abstract

‘ Satochi/Satoyama ordinances ’ have recently been frequently enacted. However, many local government entities have implemented legal systems enacting ordinances which designate green spaces or agricultural land which are to be preserved. This paper attempts to clarify the document characteristics of the ordinances designating conservation areas in the Greater Tokyo Area. We found that descriptions of these ordinances were classified into three groups, which were selection of target sites, designation as a conservation area and maintenance of a conservation area. We also found that multiple methods, which secure the implementation of those rules, were prescribed. These methods for assuring implementation were classified into two ways, procuring the land and maintenance. Most of the conservation ordinances had not been enacted for the direct purpose of conservation of secondary nature. However, many ordinances described not only procuring but also maintaining, which is essential for conserving secondary nature. We classified the conservation ordinances into three types based on their detail descriptions from the point of view of Satochi landscapes conservation. We suggest that the effect of ordinances on the conservation of Satochi landscapes should be evaluated for each type. And, this study covers only ordinance documents. Clarification of the state of implementation of these ordinances is also needed.
