 note = {It is necessary to develop new economical and collaborative approaches in Japan for the preservation and restoration of the watershed environment that include public works and volunteer activities. This study reviews the economical and collaborative approach concept related to the preservation of the watershed environment. It also reviews the watershed environment management system with regards to the use of forests, vegetation, wetlands, rivers and coastal lands, and the rural/urban environment which is considered to be an “environmental asset and a local resource”, by applying the profit generated by and the manpower towards the effective preservation and restoration of the watershed environment. This paper classifies the assistance methods for watershed environment management into ten types. Using a comparative structural analysis of the relationship between the stakeholders, these methods are subsequently reviewed. The results obtained by this analysis clearly identify the structure of stakeholder participation and the economic/social return on the same. The review further evaluates the method’s applicability, sustainability and feasibility. Finally, key-factors that affect the utility of these assistance methods are reviewed by presenting a few present watershed environment issues.},
