Abstract:
Consumer attitudes toward e-waste management systems were studied by questionnaire surveys of residents from two villages selected in each of Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, and China. Villagers from Japan scored highest in having a positive attitude toward extracting gold from e-waste for Tokyo Olympics medals. The attitude of the villagers from Kamikatsu, Japan was consistently more willing to support and volunteer to improve their environment than that from Tokushima; but more resistant to involvement in improper e-waste dumping and having solutions to the problem. Similar attitudes were also found in the villagers of Hong Ren Old Village and New Village, China. Among the villages with the e-waste management practice, the villagers of Bui Village (Vietnam) and Hong Ren Old Village have demonstrated more of their positive attitudes than those of Kamikatsu and Village #3 (Thailand) toward improving their environment, satisfying with e-waste-related laws, and supporting for extracting precious metals from e-waste. Among the villages not adopting the e-waste management practice, however, the villagers of Duong Xa (Vietnam) demonstrated the highest positive attitudes in their satisfaction with e-waste-related laws, and led with Village #5 (Thailand) and Tokushima in their commitment to improving the environment and support for extracting precious metals from e-waste.

Abstract:
Le Moyen Age dans l'histoire du Japon correspond à cette période au cours de laquelle apparaissent de nouveaux liens entre les hommes, des liens qui dépassent les organisations de nature clanique, tels les uji ou maisonnées. Jusque-là, ces organisations sociales reposaient sur les liens du sang. Or dans le Japon de la fin du Moyen Age, entre le 14e et le 16e siècle, apparaît un nouveau type d'organisations collectives liant les hommes. Les communautés villageoises, matrices des villages de l'époque moderne, qu'on appelle des « communes » (sôson), ou les communautés urbaines, qu'on appelle des « quartiers » (machi) et qui deviendront les unités de base des futures villes, ou encore les guildes (za), corporations de marchands ou d'artisans, se créent et se développent pendant cette période. Ces formes sociales sont les plus connues mais des organisations de nature identique naissent dans d'autres secteurs de la société, regroupant aussi bien des unités combattantes pour la guerre que des ensembles de nature artistique. Au cours de cette période, on assiste donc à l'émergence de différentes associations d'individus liés par une même activité. Parmi les plus connues citons, par exemple, les réunions d'amateurs de thé (cha'yoriai) ou les associations de poètes pratiquant les « poèmes enchaînés » (rengakai).

Abstract:
The paper researches the policies of developing traditional craft villages in some Asian countries, especially Japan and China. Recently, Japan and China have been the two nations which have successfully adopted the policies on developing traditional craft villages. Taking Japan as an example, the policy named “each craft village a career” has been very successfully used and then, it spread to Thailand and other countries in Southest Asia. For China, the government’s policies focused on exports and demand stimulus. From the research, we will earn some experimental lessons to develop craft villages in Viet Nam, particularly the combination of the government’s aid policies and the potential of the craft villages.

Abstract:
In Japanese colonial era, Jeju residents established a number of Kaeryang seodangs on their own. These Kaeryang seodangs are equipped with facilities equivalent to ordinary schools. Jeju residents promoted the school to ordinary School. School establishment activities were most actively carried out in coastal villages in Bukjeju. On the other hand, the villages in Bukjeju and Namjeju were relatively inactive. The reason for this difference is that the difference in economic power between villages should be considered first. At that time, Jeju Island had two large sources of economic income. One was the material of the haenyeo and the other was the remittance of Jeju residents in Japan. Coastal villages were more active in these two factors than in other regions, so their economic power was relatively dominant, and based on this, they led the establishment of elementary education institutions. The strong community of Jeju Island's village also helped establish a school. Modified Seodang was built on a village-by-town basis and was impossible to operate without the cooperation of villagers. The fact that many improved seodangs were built shows that the bond between the residents of Jeju Island was strong. As such, the establishment of an elementary education institution developed in Jeju Island, Japanese colonial era, is significant in that it itself shows the educational enthusiasm and educational activities of Jeju residents. And furthermore, such activities were possible in the economic, socio-cultural background of Jeju Island.

Abstract:
<p class="1Body">Rural depopulation is now well acknowledged to be one of the salient challenges faced by Japan (Ohno, 2005; Odagiri, 2006). However, out-migrants that left their village of origin still maintain their bond with the villages through local institutions and natural resources. By taking Mogura village in Hayakawa town, Yamanashi prefecture as a case study, this article discusses relationships between out-migrants and their depopulated village of origin by focusing on local institutions and natural resource management. Data was collected using open ended interview and participant observation methods. The result shows that, although the style of observing has changed, out-migrants play important role in local institutions and assisting resource management of their depopulated village of origin. The institutions still have meaning for out-migrants to keep relationships with their village of origin. Several customs, such as collaborative labor, <em>obon</em>, New Year vacation, and the anniversary of ancestors’ death ceremony, provide scheduled opportunities for out-migrants and residents to get together and good reasons to come to the place of the village of origin. We argue that local institutions and natural resources, although in the process of transformation, can be helpful tools to link out-migrants with villages. We, however, take precaution on whether such role will be transferred to next generation of the out-migrants that are born and are living outside the village of origin of the out-migrants.</p>

Abstract:
Jan de Vries revised Akira Hayami’s original theory of the “Industrious Revolution” to make the idea more applicable to early modern commercialization in Europe, showcasing the development of the rural proletariat and especially the consumer revolution and women’s emancipation on the way toward an “Industrial Revolution.” However, Japanese villages followed a different path from the Western trajectory of the “Industrious Revolution,” which is recognized as the first step to industrialization. This article will explore how a different form of “industriousness” developed in Japan, covering medieval, early modern, and modern times. It will first describe why the communal village system was established in Japan and how this unique institution, the self-reliance system of a village, affected commercialization and industrialization and was sustained until modern times. Then, the local history of Kuta Village in Kyô-Otagi, a former county located close to Kyoto, is considered over the long term, from medieval through modern times. Kuta was not directly affected by the siting of new industrial production bases and the changes brought to villages located nearer to Kyoto. A variety of diligent interactions with living spaces is introduced to demonstrate that the industriousness of local women was characterized by conscience-driven perseverance.

Abstract:
Le déclin des communautés rurales menacées de désertification est un des principaux problèmes sociaux des pays industrialisés. Les vagues de modernisation y ont bousculé la vie traditionnelle de nombreux villages. Face à cela des citoyens ont lancé des initiatives dont nous avons fait le terrain d’expérimentation de notre thèse. Nous mobilisons à cet effet des théories pour analyser l’une d’entre elles, celle dite « Les Plus Beaux Villages ». Le concept des « Plus Beaux Villages » a été construit pour un projet de redynamisation selon un modèle différent de ceux fondés sur la croissance économique. Nous montrons quels sont les ressorts de sa mise en œuvre en nous appuyant sur les théories de l'innovation. Ces théories, d’abord introduites dans le domaine du changement technologique et de la croissance économique ont été étendues à d’autres champs et plus récemment à l’analyse des dynamiques qui transforment la société. Cette extension a recouru à plusieurs disciplines et a donné naissance au concept d'innovation sociale qui nous sert à analyser la dynamique complexe du développement local. Cette thèse permet donc de « proposer et étayer par des cas d’expérimentation réussie, un argumentaire puisé dans l’ensemble des théories de l’innovation et adapté à la mise en œuvre et au décryptage de changements propres à redynamiser des petites communautés rurales. » En confrontant des arguments théoriques et pratiques, notre recherche met en évidence que la démocratisation économique et politique d’une part et de la coopération étendue à un grand nombre d’acteurs, internes et externes, d’autre part, sont les facteurs essentiels du développement local des villages
The decline of rural communities threatened by desertification is one of the main social problems of industrialized countries. Waves of modernization have disrupted the traditional way of life in many villages. Faced with this, citizens have launched initiatives that we have made the experimental field of our thesis. To this end, we have mobilized a number of theories to analyze one of these initiatives, known as the "Most Beautiful Villages". The "Plus Beaux Villages" concept was developed for a revitalization project based on a different model from those based on economic growth. We show what drives its implementation, drawing on theories of innovation. These theories, first introduced in the field of technological change and economic growth, have been extended to other fields, and more recently to the analysis of dynamics that transform society. This extension has drawn on several disciplines, giving rise to the concept of social innovation, which we use to analyze the complex dynamics of local development. The aim of this thesis is to "propose and support, through cases of successful experimentation, an argument drawn from the whole range of innovation theories and adapted to the implementation and deciphering of changes designed to revitalize small rural communities". By comparing theoretical and practical arguments, our research shows that economic and political democratization on the one hand, and cooperation involving a large number of internal and external actors on the other hand, are essential factors in the local development of the villages

Abstract:
This dissertation is an analysis of population and households of a village in Northeast Japan, using historical documents from the period between 1760 and 1870. The population of the village increased 1.73-fold in 110 years with the average growth rate of 0.50 per cent per annum. In general, the population shifted from a low pressure regime characterized by relatively low fertility and low mortality to a high pressure regime with high fertility and high mortality. Fertility was found to be the driving force of the population growth, but high mortality slowed down the growth between 1800 and 1835. Migration played only a minor role. However, migration made a significant impact on the population growth through fertility by changing the nature of service. The increase in fertility resulted mainly from changes in marital fertility rather than changes in nuptiality. The most important factor contributing to the increase in marital fertility was the transformation of labor from servants with yearly contracts to day laborers which increased couple's exposure to the risk of childbearing by affecting coital frequency. In addition, increased employment opportunities and improved wages, which were brought about by the development of market economy and small-scale industry centering around a highly profitable cash crop, safflower, had a positive effect on marital fertility. The number of households increased 1.50-fold throughout the period. An increase in the number of lower class households was solely responsible for the increase in the number of households of the village. The mean household size rose from 4.8 to 5.6. The household size was positively associated with socio-economic status. As in the case of fertility, increased employment opportunities and improved wages were primarily responsible for the increase in the number of households and in the household size. Namely, the increased employment opportunities and improved wages made peasants, especially those of the lower class, less dependent on land, and allowed them to establish new branch households more easily. The most frequently-encountered household types were simple and multiple family households, the two types combined accounting for over 70 per cent of all households of the village. The proportion of multiple family households increased throughout the period, whereas the proportion of simple family households declined.

Aquesta recerca se centra en la representació de la cultura tradicional ainu en museus a l’aire lliure, parcs culturals i pobles reconstruïts al Japó actual. El seu principal objectiu és explorar com aquests llocs estan contribuint a la redefinició de la cultura ainu a través de pràctiques de turistificació i mercantilització. La tesi sosté que, més enllà de les connotacions negatives associades a aquestes pràctiques, els museus a l’aire lliure, els parcs culturals i els pobles reconstruïts poden operar com a vehicles complexos on la identitat ainu es negocia contínuament a través de la recreació i representació de la seva cultura tradicional. En aquest sentit, la tesi revisa els relats històrics sobre els ainu, la consciència política moderna i la revitalització cultural de les seves comunitats, i la recepció de la seva cultura a Europa, específicament, a Itàlia, a través de la consideració històrica de la seva influència en el col·leccionisme d’art, i la seva representació contemporània a les obres de l’intel·lectual italià Fosco Maraini i el seu important paper en la difusió de la cultura ainu més enllà del Japó. La museïtzació i la turistificació poden formar part d’un procés de mercantilització de la tradició cultural ainu, les conseqüències del qual poden semblar problemàtiques i essencialment negatives. No obstant això, aquesta tesi sosté que també hi ha un aspecte constructiu en aquest procés, no exempt de problemàtiques, mitjançant el qual la cultura tradicional pot combinar-se amb elements contemporanis més fàcilment accessibles i transformar-se en béns comercialitzables amb finalitats turístiques que preservin la seva existència. A nivell metodològic, la tesi aplica les eines investigadores de l’anàlisi històrica i els estudis culturals, integrant l’anàlisi documental amb algunes tècniques de recerca pròpies de l’anàlisi social, especialment l’entrevista.

La tesis sostiene que, más allá de las connotaciones negativas asociadas a estas prácticas, los museos al aire libre, los parques culturales y los pueblos reconstruidos pueden operar como vehículos complejos en los que la identidad ainu se negocia continuamente a través de la recreación y representación de su cultura tradicional. En este sentido, la tesis revisa los relatos históricos sobre los ainu, la conciencia política moderna y la revitalización cultural de sus comunidades, y la recepción de su cultura en Europa, específicamente, en Italia, a través de la consideración histórica de su influencia en el coleccionismo de arte, y su representación contemporánea en las obras del intelectual italiano Fosco Maraini y su importante papel en la difusión de la cultura ainu más allá de Japón. La musealización y la turistificación pueden formar parte de un proceso de mercantilización de la tradición cultural ainu cuyas consecuencias pueden parecer problemáticas y esencialmente negativas. Sin embargo, esta tesis sostiene que también hay un lado constructivo en este proceso, no exento de problemáticas, mediante el cual la cultura tradicional puede combinarse con elementos contemporáneos más fácilmente accesibles y transformarse en bienes comercializables con fines turísticos que preserven su existencia. A nivel metodológico, la tesis aplica las herramientas investigadoras del análisis histórico y los estudios culturales, integrando el análisis documental con algunas técnicas de investigación propias del análisis social, especialmente la entrevista.
This research focuses on the representation of Ainu traditional culture in open museums, cultural parks, and reconstructed villages in contemporary Japan. Its main objective is to explore how these places are contributing to the redefinition of Ainu culture through touristification and commodification practices. The thesis contends that, beyond the negative connotations associated to these practices, open museums, cultural parks, and reconstructed villages can operate as complex vehicles in which Ainu identity is continuously negotiated through the recreation and representation of its traditional culture. In this sense, the thesis reviews the historical accounts on the Ainu, the modern political awareness and cultural revitalization of their communities, and the reception of their culture in Europe, specifically, in Italy, through the historical consideration of its influence on art collecting, and its contemporary representation in the works of the Italian intellectual Fosco Maraini and his important role in the dissemination of Ainu culture beyond Japan. Musealization and touristification may indeed be part of a process of commodification of Ainu cultural traditions, one which can come across as problematic and quintessentially negative. However, this thesis argues that there is also a constructive side to this process by means of which, while unquestionably implying a form of compromise, traditional culture can be combined with more easily accessible contemporary elements and transformed into marketable goods for touristic purposes that preserve its existence. At the methodological level, the thesis applies the research tools of historical analysis and cultural studies, integrating the documentary analysis with some research techniques of social analysis, especially the interview.

Abstract:
Dans ce travail, nous nous proposons d'étudier des groupes de villages de la provinces d'Izumi durant l'époque d'Edo (1600 - 1868), afin de mettre en avant des types d'organisations sociales sortant des cadres institutionnels connus ainsi que les particularismes des localités étudiées.Ces ensembles de villages étant liés à la présence d'un sanctuaire commun (en plus des sanctuaires propres à chaque village ou hameau), nous partirons des relations établis entre ces établissements religieux et les groupes de villages qui leur sont liés, explorant le mode d’organisation des fidèles, leurs interactions avec les autorités seigneuriales ou shogunales. Nous nous intéresserons également à la structure interne du sanctuaire et les rôles des différents desservants, prêtres shintô et moine bouddhistes, notamment au travers des disputes qui les déchirent. Cela nous amènera également à nous interroger sur le rôle des organisations religieuses et tout particulièrement celui des organisations de prêtres shintô centrées sur les maisons curiales Yoshida ou Shirakawa, qui prennent leur essor durant cette époque.C’est en ce sens que nous nous pencherons sur les sanctuaires Kasuga, Hijiri, Kaminomiya et Shimonomiya, et Ôiseki. Explorant les groupes de villages qui leurs sont liés, nous nous attacherons à mettre en avant les interactions entre quatre groupes : les fidèles, le sanctuaire, les prêtres shintô et les moines bouddhistes. Cette analyse permettra de faire ressortir particularismes locaux, modes d’organisations non-institutionnels et structures internes de ces sanctuaires
This dissertation examines several groups of villages in Izumi Province during the Edo period (1600 - 1868). It seeks to elucidate the non-institutional social organizations and unique characteristics of those villages. Each of the groups of villages examined in this study were closely linked with a particular Shintô shrine. This dissertation begins by analyzing the relationship between shrines and the groups of villages with which they were linked. It will then examine the functions performed by the parishioner organizations of each shrine, as well as the relationship between parishioner organizations, on the one hand, and the local authorities and shogunate, on the other. It will also investigate each shrine’s social structure and the role of Shintô priests and Buddhists monks. This dissertation will also highlight the range of shrine-related conflicts and disputes that occurred in Izumi Province during the Edo period. Furthermore, it will examine the role that religious organizations, such as the Yoshida and Shirakawa priestly orders, played in early modern society. Specifically, this dissertation focuses on five shrines in Izumi Province: Kasuga, Hijiri, Kaminomiya, Shimonomiya, and Ôiseki. Through an examination of those five shrines, this dissertation will study the interaction between four groups: local parishioners, Shintô shrines, Shintô priests, and Buddhist monks. Such an analysis will enable us to elucidate the unique characteristics of the villages surrounding each shrine, the various non-institutional organizations that developed in those villages, and the internal social structure of each shrine

Abstract:
Abordé sous la forme d’une étude de cas, ce travail se situe à la croisée des trois domaines de recherche que sont l’architecturologie (l’étude du processus de création appliquée au domaine de l’architecture), l’histoire de l’architecture moderne et l’histoire du Japon moderne. Il se propose de cerner le processus de conception architecturale par lequel l’architecte tchèque naturalisé américain Antonin Raymond (1888-1976) a réalisé une synthèse entre un modernisme occidental emblématique des années 1920 et 1930 et l’habitat vernaculaire japonais, produit d’une tradition ancienne de la conception de l’espace et de la construction. Organisée en trois parties, la thèse s’ouvre sur une biographie présentant le parcours qui mène Raymond de sa Bohême natale jusqu’au Japon, en passant par les États-Unis. Elle se poursuit avec l’étude des circonstances dans lesquelles il s’établit en tant qu’architecte indépendant à Tokyo, en rendant compte de l’acquisition d’un certain nombre de moyens humains et techniques nécessaires à la pratique architecturale dans le contexte japonais. Enfin, une sélection de dix-sept villas réalisées à Tokyo et des destinations de villégiatures environnantes entre 1921 et 1938 est présentée. L’analyse architecturale détaillée de ces habitations réalisées pour une clientèle d’élite japonaise et occidentale permet d’observer les étapes du développement du processus de création architecturale qui ont permis à Antonin Raymond de proposer une architecture à dimension universelle ancrée dans un contexte local. Par le biais de l’architecture, ce travail illustre ainsi une partie des problématiques et des enjeux soulevés par le processus de modernisation qui caractérise l’histoire du Japon dans la première moitié du XXe siècle
In the form of a case study, this thesis is set at the crossroads of history of modern architecture, history of modern Japan and architecturologie (the study of the creative process applied to the field architecture). The purpose of this research is to define the design process through which Czech born American architect Antonin Raymond (1888-1976) carried out a synthesis between some of the most iconic forms of 1920s and 1930s Western modernism, and Japanese vernacular residential architecture inherited from a long tradition of space conception and construction. The thesis is structured in three parts. Starting with a biographical account of the architect’s first 32 years, the first part deals with the educational and professional journey that led Raymond from his native Bohemia to Japan, via the United States. The second part explores the circumstances of his establishment as an independent architect in Japan, and examines the human and technical means he implemented in order to set up his professional practice in the Japanese context of the 1920s. The third part gives a detailed analysis of a selection of seventeen houses designed and built between 1921 and 1938 for members of the Japanese and international elite community in Tokyo and its surrounding resort destinations. The detailed architectural analysis of these works illustrates the various stages and dimensions of Raymond’s design process, and provides insight into his own proposal for an architecture encompassing both universal and local dimensions. Through the subject of architecture, this study deals with a number of problematics and challenges brought by the process of modernisation in Japan during the first half of the 20th century

Abstract:
Dans ce travail, nous nous proposons d'étudier des groupes de villages de la provinces d'Izumi durant l'époque d'Edo (1600 - 1868), afin de mettre en avant des types d'organisations sociales sortant des cadres institutionnels connus ainsi que les particularismes des localités étudiées.Ces ensembles de villages étant liés à la présence d'un sanctuaire commun (en plus des sanctuaires propres à chaque village ou hameau), nous partirons des relations établis entre ces établissements religieux et les groupes de villages qui leur sont liés, explorant le mode d'organisation des fidèles, leurs interactions avec les autorités seigneuriales ou shogunales. Nous nous intéresserons également à la structure interne du sanctuaire et les rôles des différents desservants, prêtres shintô et moine bouddhistes, notamment au travers des disputes qui les déchirent. Cela nous amènera également à nous interroger sur le rôle des organisations religieuses et tout particulièrement celui des organisations de prêtres shintô centrées sur les maisons curiales Yoshida ou Shirakawa, qui prennent leur essor durant cette époque.C'est en ce sens que nous nous pencherons sur les sanctuaires Kasuga, Hijiri, Kaminomiya et Shimonomiya, et Ôiseki. Explorant les groupes de villages qui leurs sont liés, nous nous attacherons à mettre en avant les interactions entre quatre groupes : les fidèles, le sanctuaire, les prêtres shintô et les moines bouddhistes. Cette analyse permettra de faire ressortir particularismes locaux, modes d'organisations non-institutionnels et structures internes de ces sanctuaires.

Abstract:
AbstractAs both material entities and “packages” of genetic information, seeds are a common—a co-managed natural resource—in communities and regions all over the world. In this analysis of Japan’s national potential for a commons approach to seed sovereignty, Norie Tamura looks through the lens of institutional change. In 2017, the revocation of the Main Crop Seeds Act, a law upholding the state-run seed system, triggered a major backlash in Japanese civil society. Many in the movement called for a revival of state control without fully recognizing the part it plays, for instance, in agricultural industrialization. Yet simultaneously, a range of seed commons exist in Japan at the village and prefectural level, as well as through the network maintained by the Japan Organic Agriculture Organization. For seed commoning to spread and consolidate in Japan, Tamura asserts a need for reintegrating the producer–user divide and fostering open communication between seed and civil sectors.

Abstract:
Shishigaki (wild boar defense walls), as a part of cultural landscapes in Japan, currently faces serious deterioration. The research aims to identify the characteristics of Shishigaki walls in eight villages located at the foot of Mt. Hira and propose conservation strategies. Interpretation of historical documents and cadastral maps, interviews, and measurement surveys were conducted. As a result, about 4,3 km of Shish-igaki relics are confirmed, of a total length up to12,7 km built in the 18th to 19th century. Shishigaki walls were built by local households collaboratively with different drystone masonry techniques. Based on the field surveys, it was found that although up to 91% of Shishigaki walls located within the village territories were demolished, only half of Shishigaki walls in the forest were deconstructed. Loss of functionality as protection fences with the change of land use is considered as the main reason for the demolition of Shish-igaki walls. It is suggested that Shishigaki relics in the forest could be integrated into existing hiking routes and promoted through collaborative map-making with local residents. The authors contest that heritage interpretation rooted in local historical studies and conservation with community involvement could be adopted in the promotion of cultural landscapes worldwide.

The aim of our research was to investigate the characteristics of fishing-village development work in Japan and South Korea. After analyzing individual success cases, we identified success factors and propose considers for more successful fishing-village development work in the future. The success cases were selected according to criteria such as the degree of contribution to an increase in income of the fishing village, the degree of contribution to an increase in consumption of marine products using local natural resources, the number of tourists to the village, and so forth. For this purpose, we conducted interviews with persons concerned and utilizing administrative materials.

Full text
Abstract:
Originated from New Village Ideal in Japan, New Village was introduced to China in the early 1920s and became a byword for social reform program. Many residential designs or projects whose name includes the term “Village” or “New Village” had been completed in China since that time. This paper uses the Textual Criticism method to sort out the introduction and translation of New Village Ideal theory in China, and to compare the physical space, life organization and concepts of the New Village practices in ROC with in early PRC of Tianjin. It is found that the term “New Village” continued to be used across several historical periods, showing very similar spatial images. But the construction and usage of New Village and the meaning of collective life changed somewhat under different political positions and social circumstances: New Village gradually became an urban collective residential area which only bore the living function since it was introduced into modern China. The goal of its practice changed from building an equal autonomy to building a new field of power operation, a new discourse of social improvement and a new way for profit-seeking capital. With the change of state regime, the construction had entered a climax stage. New Village then became the symbol of the rising political and social status of the working class, and the link between the change of urban nature and spatial development. Socialism collective life and the temporal and spatial separation or combination between production and live constructed the collective conscience and identity of residents. The above findings highlight the independence of architecture history from general history, help to examine the complexity of China’s localization New Village practice and the uniqueness of Tianjin’s urban history, and provide new ideas for the study of China’s modern urban housing development from the perspective of changes in daily life organization.

Abstract:
This study discusses relationship between the extent of the sphere of cognition by local inhabitants in coastal fishing area and the physical environment, as ascertained from a questionnaire survey of local inhabitants. Object is 59 coastal fishing villages (Izu and Bousou peninsula in Japan) in which the sea, a town, and a mountain are realized in one, and has complicated geographical feature. We have been researched the complexity and metamorphosis patterns of common areas in coastal fishing regions using sphere graphic method. Based on research, this study analysis Explicate Order and Implicate Order formed from the mutual relationship of the cognitive region and visibility and determine relationship between cognitive attribution and visibility. We analysis visibility with visible region image using the 3-dimensional shade picture which applied the inverse-square damping which is approximation to man’s visual recognition and which is obtained from a spread of light. From above analysis, correlativity of cognitive attribution and visibility by landscape recognition of local inhabitants was shown and its Composition was determined.

Abstract:
The Legends of Tōno by Yanagita Kunio (1875–1962) is considered to be a Japanese folklore classic and an excellent literary work as well. This fact caused a long-standing debate about the “authenticity” and “fictionality” of this work. This article analyzes the key part of the book — the “mountain people” series of stories, and finds that this image has three prototypes in the real world: monsters in folk belief, the Ainu people of Japan, and the indigenous peoples of colonial Taiwan. This article further analyzes Yanagida Kunio’s attitude towards Japanese colonialism and finds that he fundamentally opposed the barbarism of Japanese colonialism. In the text of The Legends of Tōno, the author arranged three narrative models of the “mountain people scare the villagers” and finally constructed a holistic literary narrative logic, showing the ideal model of peaceful coexistence between lowlanders and mountain people, or colonizers and indigenous peoples.

Das, Jishnu, Joanna Härmä, Lant Pritchett, and Jason Silberstein. Forum: Why and How the Public vs. Private Schooling Debate Needs to Change. Research on Improving Systems of Education (RISE), March 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.35489/bsg-rise-misc_2023/12.

Full text
Abstract:
“Are private schools better than public schools?” This ubiquitous debate in low- and middle-income countries is the wrong one to have. The foreword and three essays collected in this Forum each explore how to move past the stuck “public vs. private” binary. Jason Silberstein is a Research Fellow at RISE. His foreword is titled “A Shift in Perspective: Zooming Out from School Type and Bringing Neighborhood Education Systems into Focus.” It summarizes the current state of the “public vs. private” debate, outlines an alternative approach focused on neighborhood education systems, and then synthesizes key findings from the other essays. Jishnu Das has conducted decades of research on school systems in low-income countries, including in Zambia, India, and Pakistan. His essay is titled “The Emergence and Consequence of Schooling Markets.” It describes exactly what schooling markets look like in Pakistan, including the incredible variance in school quality in both public and private schools within the same village. Das then reviews the evidence on how to engineer local education markets to improve learning in all schools, including polices that have underdelivered (e.g., vouchers) and more promising policies (e.g., finance and information structured to take advantage of inter-school competition, and a focus on the lowest performing public schools). Das’ research on Pakistan is available through leaps.hks.harvard.edu, which also houses the data and documentation for the project. Lant Pritchett writes from a global lens grounded in his work on systems thinking in education. His essay is titled “Schooling Ain’t Just Learning: Controlling the Means of Producing Citizens.” It observes that governments supply, and families demand, education for many reasons. The academic emphasis on one of these reasons, producing student learning, has underweighted the critical importance of other features of education, in particular the socialization function of schooling, which more persuasively explain patterns of provision of both public school and different kinds of private schools. With this key fact in mind, Pritchett argues that there is a strong liberty case for allowing private schools, but that calls for governments to fund them are either uncompelling or “aggressively missing the point”. Joanna Härmä has done mixed-methods research on private schools across many cities and rural areas in sub-Saharan Africa and India, and has also founded a heavily-subsidized private school in Uttar Pradesh, India. Her essay responds to both Das and Pritchett and is titled “Why We Need to Stop Worrying About People’s Coping Mechanism for the ‘Global Learning Crisis’—Their Preference for Low-Fee Private Schools”. It outlines the different forces behind the rise of low-fee private schools and asserts that both the international development sector and governments have failed to usefully respond. Policy toward these private schools is sometimes overzealous, as seen in regulatory regimes that in practice are mostly used to extract bribes, and at other times overly solicitous, as seen in government subsidies that would usually be better spent improving the worst government schools. Perhaps, Härmä concludes, “we should leave well enough alone.”

Empathy Driven Funding: New Frontier of Financing Small Businesses. Inter-American Development Bank, April 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0006481.

Full text
Abstract:
This report describes some innovative financing products for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and entrepreneurs, with a special focus on “micro investment crowdfunding,” in Japan where a law enacted in 2014 prioritized a more active use of micro investment crowdfunding. The main objective of the report is to assess the potential of micro investment crowdfunding as a financial infrastructure, especially for MSMEs that operate in towns or villages with relatively small local economies and/or a limited financial infrastructure compared to metropolitan areas. Based on the findings of a detailed analysis of such new financing mechanisms, the report studies the potential for replicability in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region. The report identifies the necessary conditions for making micro investment crowdfunding effectively work, points the direction for legal framework development, and lists the requirements on each of the stakeholders and the potential obstacles in the LAC region.
