The impact of measures implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries on rural communities to conserve and improve land, water, and the environment is evaluated, using the difference-in-differences method with propensity score matching. The results indicate that support for community activities positively influences vitalization of village assembly and management of common-pool resources. However, the support does not have immediate effects; the activity items for management of common-pool resources increase progressively.
