| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to make a comparative analysis between Japanese and Russian Biosphere Reserves (BRs) to understand the Community Capacity in ecosystem management. From our research, it was clear that Japanese and Russian local communities have different organizational structures inside BRs. In Japanese cases BRs, were mainly managed by the local authorities and local people were not involved in the management process. In case of Russia, BRs, were mainly managed and regulated by the local communities, who played the significant role in the decision-making process. It was suggested that these kinds of differences can be related to the 1. Historical Relationships between the Government and the Local Communities. 2. Attitudes towards the Concept of BRs and Economic Prospects and 3. Perception of Nature Protection.
