Once an area is designated as protected, the major guiding principles for that area will be conservation and safety, and development and use will be restricted. If the local environment has already been badly damaged, then restoration will be undertaken step by step.
一旦劃為國土保育地區，就會以保育和保安做為最高指導原則，並且限制開發使用，若當地環境已破壞嚴重，還要逐步地復育。
