Summary Recently, both a social request to improve quality of life in farming and fishing communities and interests in landscape in the communities are on the increase. For this reason, Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs emphasized on preventing unplanned land development in rural area, and provided 「Management Guideline for Coastal Landscape」as a part of 「General Plan for Territorial Landscape Improvement」.
Improvement and management policies of rural area landscape are increased by various attempts like 「General Measure to improve rural landscape」in 2006 and 「Five Senses Landscape Promoting Measure to improve Farming Village」in 2011 that Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry proposed.
However, a comprehensive landscape management system containing Plan-Project-Management at farming and fishing communities is still slight, so an arrangement of continuous and systematic management system as the management of national territory is urgent. A specific plan that both achieves continuous landscape management and overcomes limitations of rural area landscape management scheme should be prepared for long-term and systematic approach to rural landscape that occupies the most ratio of the territory. Therefore, this research draws out current problems of rural landscape management system as part of national territory landscape management, and suggests basic direction for comprehensive landscape management system that reflects characteristics of farming and fishing communities.
