This abstract deals with two papers that researched on The Formation of the Ideas of National Parks in England and Wales (2) and (3). The paper titled The Formations of the Ideas of the National Parks in England and Wales (2), makes clear the ideas and discussions devoted to parks in England and Wales from the beginning of the 20th century to 1930. For example, at the beginning of the 20th century, National Trust insisted on the necessity of establishing national parks in England and Wales similar to the parks already existing in the U.S.A. In 1929 the Labour Government of the day set up the Addison Committee on national park, with the aim of preparing for the establishment of National Parks. Shortly thereafter, in the 1931, this committee published a report, proposing the necessity of for instituting national parks in a national British style. Because of the Great Depression, the of recommendations in the Addison report were never accepted. Meanwhile, however, there was a marked increase in arguments favoring the establishment of the National Parks for the nature conservations. At the same time, movements arose that encouraged the opening of national parks as sites for public recreation. The paper titled The Formations of the Ideas of the National Parks in England and Wales (3), clarifies the ideas and discussions of national parks in England and Wales, from 1930 to 1945. In 1936, numerous kind of the voluntary bodies joined forces to form the standing Committee on National Parks, which then took action, attempting to coordinate all interests of the participating bodies. This standing Committee proposed some potential National Park areas and possible National Parks organizations for their management. Due to the outbreak of the European war, these proposals were shelved. In 1942, the Minister of Town and Country planning requested John Dower to study the problems relating to the establishment of National Parks in England and Wales. Although he did not make an immediate response to this request, in May 1945 he succeeded in published a report expressing the visionary ideals of national park establishment and epitomizing the contents and numerous ideas presented in previous reports. Although the Dower reports was not accepted by the Government, Dower's work is widely recognized as the foundation and basic framework for the National Parks Act of 1949.
