Outline of Final Research Achievements

Effectiveness of the ESD model approaching cooperative social participation and formative evaluation in solving a local environment and sustainable problem has been examined in this research. According to this ESD model, the annual proposals were reported to the local government by high school students, and environmental researches to conserve wetland and lake water were carried out by the local university students in Onuma Quasi National Park. Effected by the formative evaluation model as in a registered wetland under Lamsar Convention, the local government stimulated the local community to form a "Lamsar Committee" which is responsible for preserving the local nature and its wise use. Moreover, this model succeeded in finding a set of indexes to solve environment and sustainable problems in other two areas. This research proposes a new mild and flexible approach for solving a local environmental problem and for preserving the local nature.
