项目摘要

In this study, we mainly examined a local volunteer organization 'Akanoi basin conservation committee' in Moriyama city, Shiga pref. This committee is managed by local residents for water front conservation activities. Local environmental organizations are required two orientation activities : Self-governance and Collaboration. Self-governance activity is composed of keeping enough water volume, cleaning river and water channels and preservation of original water flora and fauna. Collaboration activity is composed of providing information to local residents and trying to make cooperation relationship with official community service, neighborhood association and local farmers associations.Self-governance activity is direct for conservation water environment. Collaboration activity is cooperating with other organizations to conserve environment indirectly. In the committee, some conflicts occured ; some members emphasized on Self-governance activity and others claimed Collaboration activity. This case study focused to analyze how committee succeeded in keeping these two activities in balance.Comparing the processes of restructuring environmental conservation system, we can find some patterns Community Based Organization, but the restructuring processes are different in different locality.Traditional neighborhood associations and voluntary groups combine to each other, and grow up to cooperate and penetrate each other. The difference of the characteristics of the regions can explain the difference of the patterns of the process of restructuring environmental conservation system. We need more examination about various way of residents' participation to conserve the local environments.

在这项研究中，我们主要检查了位于Shiga Pref的Moriyama City的当地志愿组织“ Akanoi盆地保护委员会”。该委员会由当地居民管理水面保护活动。需要两种定向活动：自治与协作。自治活动包括保持足够的水量，清洁河流和水道以及原始水植物和动物群的保存。协作活动包括向当地居民提供信息，并试图与官方社区服务，邻里协会和当地农民协会建立合作关系。自助政府活动是保护水环境的直接活动。协作活动正在与其他组织合作，以间接保护环境。在委员会中，发生了一些冲突。一些成员强调自治活动，而其他成员则声称合作活动。该案例研究的重点是分析委员会如何成功地将这两项活动保持在平衡中。CompartComparting Communteral环境保护系统的过程，我们可以找到一些基于社区的组织，但是重组过程在不同的地区是不同的。传统社区关联和自愿性群体相互结合，长大成合作和彼此穿透。区域特征的差异可以解释重组环境保护系统过程的模式的差异。我们需要更多地检查居民参与方式以保护当地环境。
