Research Abstract |
The natural park system in Japan is insufficient for the concept of risk management. This research project aimed to reveal the actual situation and to examine the future possible park management system improvements. Actual accidents and concerns in national parks were reported by park managers. Visitors were asked to answer their attitudes to risk and responsibilities of outdoor activities in Rishirisan, Daisetsuzan, Shiretoko and Oirase. In addition, we investigated the risk management framework of the Department of Conservation, New Zealand, and the evaluation of the protected area effectiveness in Finland. The possibility of applying to Japanese park system was discussed.
