Abstract
This study aims to identify and reduce the gaps of understandings and thoughts of river restoration between river engineers and ecologists by logically re-examining the definition and value of river restoration. For this purpose, function, and goods and services of river ecosystem are analyzed based on the study of those by de Groot et al. (2002). From the result of this analysis, definitions and strategies of presently-known river restoration and its similar activities are re-examined. Next, presently-known river restoration models, ERM (Ecological restoration model), ARM (Amenity restoration model) and semi-ERM (semi-Ecological restoration model), are reinforced in their frameworks. This study is expected to narrow the gap, between the professionals of different fields, of their understandings and thoughts of river restoration.
