| Research Abstract |
In this study, I consider the selection of sea area landscapes as Natural Parks in Japan, focusing on historic changes from a cultural geographical perspective. In this analysis, I focus on the different ways sea area landscape was recognized comparing the following three situations: (1) National Parks before WW2; (2) Natural Parks after WW2; and (3) Sea area Parks established in 2010. In addition, I consider the relationship between the sea area landscapes as Natural Parks and closely related phenomena such as tourism and conservation of nature in the three situations above.
