AbstractIn recent years, it has become popular for some of countries and regions to adapt the system of governance to varied and complex issues concerned with regional development and the environment. Watershed management is possibly the best example of this. It involves flood control, water use management and river environment simultaneously. Therefore, comprehensive watershed-based management should be aimed at balancing those aims. The objectives of this study are to introduce the notion of environmental governance into the planning process, to establish a method for assessing the alternatives and to develop a procedure for determining the most appropriate plan for environmental governance. The planning process here is based on strategic environment assessment (SEA). To verify the hypothetical approach, the middle river basin in the Tokachi River, Japan was selected as a case study. In practice, after workshop discussions, it was found to have the appropriate degree of consensus based on the balance of flood control and environmental protection in the watershed.

Urbanization generally causes expansion of urban areas, improvement of lifestyles, high population density and high levels of land utilization. Those urbanization processes have resulted in an expansion of impermeable areas such as roofs and pavements, an increase in water demand, an increase in industrial and domestic waste water and a reduction of water surface areas and green lands. The above-mentioned phenomena tend to distort the appropriate hydrological water cycle and derive the six issues to be solved which were pointed out in our previous paper Imbe et al.(1995). Six issues were described as: 1) Maintenance of Ordinary Water Discharge; 2) Flood Control; 3) Conservation and Development of Water Resources; 4) Conservation and Revival of Ecological System; 5) Pollution Control; 6) Improvement of Heat Environment. In order to prevent the deterioration of the hydrological water cycle, many relevant measures are taken into account and the effect of those measures should be evaluated before the implementation. This paper presents a practical example of the evaluation procedure through a case study of the actual urbanized river basin called Azuma River.
