We can see varieties of green spaces in rural and urban area in Japan. Land use in agriculture and forestry is almost of all covered by green space. And now we can see green spaces on roadside, between buildings, on buildings, and on the side of buildings in urban area. And we also can see green spaces around personal houses. Some green spaces are owned personally, and some green spaces are owned socially. These situations make conflicts between green space management and land ownership. So we tried to make some solutions to this problem.
