Preface
The concept of “landscape management labor accounts” was developed through the on-site research experiences reported in Basic and Clinical Environmental Approaches in Landscape Planning (Shimizu et al. 2014). Basic and Clinical Environmental Approaches in Landscape Planning was published as a result of the Global Center of Excellence (GCOE) Program “From Earth System Science to Basic and Clinical Environmental Studies,” funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology starting in 2009 (Nagoya University Global Center for Excellence Program 2013). In the process of publishing, we were keenly aware of the importance of clinical environmental approaches in landscape planning, which is “diagnostic” by analyzing how the earth–life system interacts with human society and “treatment-based” by providing technological or regulatory solutions to environmental problems. Moreover, it became clear that local landscapes are faced with serious management challenges in the future, with a rapidly aging and shrinking population. Thus, gaining a holistic understanding of how much and what kind of man
