In this study, we first revisit the concept of “Satoyama” and provide an overview of existing review articles. We then organize the trends in research related to “Satoyama,” focusing on papers published since 2012. Throughout the study, several key observations have emerged. First, it is essential to note the shifting perspectives on “Satoyama.” Critiques of the excessive praise of “Satoyama” have been increasing. Moreover, studies exploring new perspectives on “Satoyama” with a heightened awareness of the Fukushima nuclear disaster have been increasing since 2012. Additionally, we observe a broadening of themes related to “Satoyama.” Within the context of an ongoing trend of depopulation in rural areas, the expectation placed on “stakeholder populations” in contributing to the preservation of “Satoyama” is growing. The involvement of these stakeholder populations is becoming increasingly diverse. However, the diversity in involvement presents a challenge when assessing the effectiveness of conservation efforts, as the unique experiences of each stakeholder may diff er significantly. Furthermore, as there is a renewed focus on the effectiveness of traditional local systems and the validity of local knowledge, it is imperative to investigate how stakeholder populations align with and adapt to these traditional structures. This investigation should also explore how the stakeholders internalize the concept of “locality” and determine their position in negotiations and adaptations within the local social structure. This aspect bears a resemblance to what Matsumura (2007) highlighted as a misalignment of objectives, often leading to “failures” in volunteer efforts. Next, as the concept of “Satoyama” becomes more established, there is a growing sense that “Satoyama,” which has traditionally been intertwined with rural life and production, is now being observed from a more detached perspective. As Maruyama (2009) argued, “Satoyama” is being discussed as a “cultural landscape,” emphasizing the importance of positioning the natural aspects of “Satoyama” as “nature within culture.” However, there is a tendency to overlook the everyday aspects of “Satoyama.”
