Abstract

We explored the perceptions of local residents with respect to human intervention in marine environment, including the degrees of preferences with options for concrete conservation measures. A face-to-face interview survey was conducted with 15 local residents from Suzu City, located at the northern tip of the Noto Peninsula. The survey aimed to identify how local residents perceive the role of human intervention in preserving such an environment. We first examined the extent to which residents are ready to accept human intervention and then whether communities involved in fishery understand and appreciate terrestrial conservation activities, including those related to forests. The outcomes from our interviews suggested that local residents perceive a strong linkage between terrestrial and coastal environments. The residents, including those not directly involved in fishery, were sensitive to the theme of sustainability of their community, particularly in relation to rural fishery.
