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:

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, obon, 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.

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:

Things were not right in the Kantō region during the early nineteenth century. In his memoirs, Mastsudaira Sadanobu, architect of the Kansei Reforms, lamented the sorry state of the villages in Edo's hinterland:Much land throughout the Kantō is going to waste for want of cultivators. All the people of some villages have left for Edo, leaving only the headman behind. … Many Kantō villagers are suffering great hardship. Babies are killed, the population has declined, and land has gone to waste.

Abstract:

The issue of rural hollowing out is not unique to China, as various countries worldwide have witnessed different degrees of this phenomenon during the process of urbanization. Japan and China, among those nations grappling with rural hollowing out, share noteworthy similarities, rendering Japan's governance experience particularly instructive for China. This paper undertakes a comparative analysis of Japan's issues with rural over-saturation and China's challenges with rural hollowing, revealing disparities in the formation mechanisms and timelines of these phenomena in the two countries. Notably, China experienced the hollowing-out problem later than Japan, and the process unfolded at a swifter pace. Examining governance policies, Japan advocates for the autonomous development of hollow villages in later stages. China stands to benefit by adopting Japan's supportive policies for rural areas, such as the 'one village, one product' initiative, which encourages hollowed villages to explore their unique strengths and specialize in products for endogenous development. In the realm of coordinating urban-rural relations, China can draw inspiration from Japan's strategy of "supporting rural areas with cities." This entails fostering rural development by investing in education and healthcare infrastructure in central cities, thereby promoting urban-rural integration.

Abstract:

Producing green rice flakes (it’s called Cốm in Vietnam) is classified as one of the oldest traditional professions of formerly and present Hanoi. It has been preserved for generations and plays an important part in the diverse and flavorful cuisine of Hanoi. In Hanoi, there are two villages which is famous for making green rice flakes: Me Tri in Nam Tu Liem district (including Me Tri Thuong, Me Tri Ha village) and Vong village in Cau Giay district. The profession of making green rice flakes in Me Tri up to now has a history of more than a century. Experiencing many ups and downs, the profession of making green rice flakes of Me Tri ward in general, and of Me Tri Thuong village in particular, still exists, develops and has changed a lot. In the past, every year the villagers only made green rice flakes in one crop, then added the fifth-month crop but now they make it all year round. On the other hand, instead of making green rice flakes entirely by hand, local people in this village nowadays have used machines and mechanized the stages of making green rice flakes, which help saving time, reducing production costs but still ensuring quality. The production process of green rice flakes is quite complicated, including many stages that require meticulousness, ingenuity and accuracy of the makers. The products made of green rice flakes are also diverse. Those are the specialties not only of Me Tri and Hanoi, but also recognized as an indispensable part of Vietnamese culinary culture. Me Tri green rice flakes (Cốm Mễ Trì) are now not only consumed domestically, but also exported to foreign countries such as the UK, Japan, the US and become favorite gifts for international tourists. Therefore, the profession of making green rice flakes in Me Tri in general and Me Tri Thuong in particular is really a unique cultural tourism resource that needs to be preserved and is a strength for the development of craft village tourism.

Abstract:

This study discusses collaborative governance in managing mud-affected villages in Sidoarjo Regency. The Sidoarjo mudflow has occurred since 2004 and until now there has been no final decision regarding the arrangement of the affected villages in the three sub-districts namely Porong, Jabon and Tanggulangin. Meanwhile, the community and villages affected by the mud must immediately receive follow-up so that they can carry out their functions properly. This research serves to analyze how the process of village arrangement, supporting factors and inhibiting factors as well as efforts to overcome them. Referring to the collaborative governance model according to Ansel and Gash with a descriptive qualitative research method. The author uses data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that collaborative governance has been carried out in the process of structuring villages affected by the Sidoarjo mudflow quite well covering the initial conditions related to inadequate human resources in terms of quantity and supporting financial resources, institutional design related to institutions that are already good, basic rules that already exist , and transparency that has been carried out, facilitative leadership by stakeholders, and collaborative processes related to face to face dialogue, building trust and understanding between collaboration participants, sharing understanding and mission as well as intermediate outcomes in the form of review papers and draft regional regulations. However, there are still inhibiting factors, namely the initial condition of inadequate human resources in quantity, the process of formulating village arrangements that took too long and the community's understanding that could not be uniformed resulted in obstacles in the process of structuring villages affected by the Sidoarjo mudflow.

Abstract:

Shishi Matsuri or the Lion Festival is very popular and is often observed in different parts of Japan. Known also as Shishimai or Lion Dance performance, it is a religious festival and an art performance. The fieldwork for this study was carried out in Murashima village, Sugeta town, Ehime prefecture, Japan. The festival is held annually in November and involves everyone in the village. The performers are the local villagers themselves. Although Shishi Matsuri reinforces the sense of belonging, it also creates a sense of collectivity and unity as everyone joins in. Continuation of a tradition of this kind is bound with a number of difficulties and challenges. Financial issues, decreasing young population and natural disasters are but a few such matters faced every year. This study aims to understand the reasons and motivations that make it possible for the community members to carry on with the tradition of the festival despite challenges and difficulties.

Abstract:

International mobility of human beings is an important social phenomenon that demonstrates the degree of dynamism of a society. However, unlike many of European countries, Japanese emigrants to Hawaii, North America, South America and other Asian regions during the modernizing stage from the Meiji era to World War II were estimated as about one million at most; it might be said that the emigrants were exceptional as an illustration of labor force mobility. One characteristic fact of Japanese emigration is that home villages of emigrants are distributed very unevenly geographically. The paper deals with this geo- graphically skewed distribution of villages inducing emigrants, clarifying what conditions of socioeconomic factors affect the emigration at the village level in the early stage of Japanese modernization. For the analysis, the dimensionality test by component factor analysis and path analysis are introduced, based on the secondary data which was published by the government in 1880 (Meiji 13) and then. The analysis clarifies that no single factor but several factors simultaneously affect the emigration at the village level, constructing the complex structure formed by three basic components: natural environment, accessibility of external resources and. socioeconomic characteristics.

Abstract:

The abandonment of traditional agricultural land is a global phenomenon, especially in mountainous areas. Although there are many mountainous villages where traditional agriculture, based on wild-plant mulching systems, is still practiced in Japan, the extent of land use change in these areas has not been quantitatively assessed. Economic theory predicts the systematic allocation of land to its maximum net value in response to distance from residential centres or demand. We tested this theory to determine whether: (1) grassland and cropland abandonment occurs far from residential centres and (2) new grassland becomes established near residential centres because its products (i.e., wild plants) are essential to traditional agriculture. We interviewed farmers from the traditional mountain village of Kosuge, Japan, to examine land use change at a parcel scale over the period 1940–2019. Our predictions were confirmed in that cropland and grassland were abandoned, while regrowth forests and plantations became established thereafter in the more inaccessible areas, in terms of distance from the village centre and slope aspect. Furthermore, new grassland developed near the centre of the village, leading to the ‘advance’ of grassland into the residential centre. Our results indicate that spatiotemporal patterns of land use change in traditional agricultural landscapes can be predicted and used to inform policies designed to sustainably maintain these landscapes and their ecosystem function.

Abstract:

The article analyzes the author's sociological research results in two villages in the municipality of Kumano, Mie Prefecture, Japan: the fishing village of Hobo and the mountain village of Maruyama. The text aims to clarify the place and role of traditions in the postmodern lifestyle, the mechanisms of their "modernization," and use to revitalize local communities and preserve the Japanese cultural identity by studying their festivals. Local festivals are an essential cultural resource for protecting the traditions of Hobo and Maruyama. The activities for their organization and implementation largely determine the lifestyle of the local community. Their preservation requires both will and perseverance, as well as an innovative approach and ingenuity shown by their inhabitants. Collective action is an important factor in preserving local culture and traditions in Japanese villages. In Hobo, the local community's active life is due to the initiative, efforts and perseverance of its informal leader, and the enterprising local people who help him. In Maruyama, in addition to the enterprising local people and their organizations, the organizational assistance and support of the municipal administration and volunteers from other parts of the country are extremely important. With their initiatives and activities, local communities use the resources of tradition to achieve socially meaningful goals in postmodern conditions.

Abstract:

Recent research in Japan has investigated how local people historically utilized natural resources, using geographic information systems (GIS). These works have helped to clarify the role of forest provisioning services in the past, and have shown how modern landscapes were formed. The aim of this study was to elucidate the utilization of plant resources in forest landscapes of both fields and mountains, in the late 19th century in Iwate Prefecture, located in northeastern Japan. This study focused on a different area and a larger scale than previous studies, and included information from 642 villages. This study specifically focused on what kinds of forest products were historically used and shipped, which species were used, and how these uses were distributed around the prefecture. A combination of historical documents and GIS mapping, named MANDARA, was employed. The primary historical document was “The topography of Iwate Prefecture” that was published from 1876 to 1885, and recorded the products used in each village. A wide range of forest products were recorded, which contained both edible and inedible plants further split into 10 primary categories: edible wild plants, mushrooms, nuts and berries, medical herbs, timber, agricultural and construction materials, fuel, tree sap, bark, and others. Many villages also produced various secondary processed goods. Fifty-two species were specified as forest products, which included some estimation, and were composed of 19 herbaceous and 23 arboreal species. GIS mapping of each village indicated that firewood and charcoal were shipped to towns located in southern Iwate, from around Kesen County. People might trade these fuel woods on markets. On the other hand, chestnut (Castanea crenata S. et Z.) and acorn were produced in the low-density populated area all around Iwate.

Abstract:

We examined the relationships among social support and psychological variables and investigated the status of social support among villagers whose evacuation order had been lifted. A written questionnaire was posted to 4828 registered residents of Iitate Village; 1405 valid responses were received. The main finding (in joint assessment by local and external experts) was the “need for professional support” (191 respondents, 13.6%). A multivariate analysis found that among those living in permanent housing outside the village, the need for support was significantly more likely for those without emotional support or instrumental support than for those not providing support. The associations between perceived social support and living environment suggest the need to strengthen social support measures in areas where evacuation orders are yet to be lifted, and provide useful information for examining the effects of future support efforts.

Abstract:

Objectives: Dareta village in Zamfara state of Nigeria is one of the villages plagued with the lead (Pb) poisoning crisis of 2010. Dareta and neighboring villages were remediated by simple excavation of topsoil rich in Pb, and burying same in landfills. This study was embarked to assess the physicochemical parameters of some sources of water supply and possible health impacts on humans. Material and Methods: The village was imaginarily mapped into three sites; Residential Homes (Site 1), Markets and Village Squares (Site 2), and Farms with Irrigation Facilities (Site 3). From the three sites, a total of 30 water samples (10 shallow wells, 10 boreholes, and 10 stream/surface water) were randomly collected, according to availability. The physical parameters (Temperature, Conductivity, and Total Dissolved Solids [TDS]) were assessed in situ using a conductivity/TDS meter (model 44600.00, HACH, USA), the assessment of pH was also carried out in situ using an electronic pH meter, (pH 210 micro-processor, Hanna Instrument, USA). The evaluation of heavy metals concentration (Pb, cadmium [Cd], chromium [Cr], and manganese) was done using an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (modelAA-6800, Schemadzu, Japan). Results: In groundwater (boreholes and wells), the mean temperature and conductivity were higher than the World Health Organization (WHO) safety levels for “drinking water,” while those of TDS and pH were within the limits. In surface water (streams), the assessed physical parameters were not higher than the WHO safety limits, while the concentrations of Pb, Cd, and Cr were above the drinking water guidelines. The risk implication in the human populations consuming the water was determined using the estimated average daily intake (EADI) and the target hazard quotient (THQ). The EADI for Pb, Cd, and Cr for all the water sources in both adult and children consumer populations exceeded the reference dose by US-EPA. The THQ for Pb, Cd, and Cr in both adult and children consumer populations were >1. Conclusion: These findings portend toxicity and increased hazards for the human populations that source their drinking water from the borehole, well, and stream in this village.

Abstract:

The origins and role of corporate landholding and land redistribution practices over arable land in seventeenth- to nineteenth-century Japan have posed a quandary for scholars. The most common forms are widely seen as means to spread the impact of flooding among villagers in districts that are considered to be at great risk from flood hazards. Such conclusions are often based on individual village studies. In contrast, this study takes a regional approach and tests the validity of this relationship using geographic information systems technology experimentally. This experiment reveals a variety of anomalies that, taken together, suggest that any link between natural hazard risk and the presence or absence of redistribution practices is more subtle than typical explanations assert.

Abstract:

Previously known as Alalak's hometown, it is now divided into two villages, namely South Alalak village and North Alalak village, located in North Banjarmasin District from 1970 to 2000. This area was famous as a center for the wood processing industry for building materials, but is now starting to be abandoned. dim because wood is also rare. Wooden materials were replaced with concrete beams, steel and metal rafters. Alalak Village looks very shabby, the houses are built mostly from irregular wood. However, there is something interesting in the Alalak River village which is visited by every local/regional, national and international holiday tourist. They wanted to witness the Floating Market activity as a rare custom in the form of buying and selling activities where sellers and buyers use boats or in the banjo term called catamarans. This empty village needs to be managed by building a riverside buffer area in the form of a long embankment with a width of 8.0 meters to 12.0 meters. The embankment material is planted with trees according to its purpose as protection from wind, waves and sunlight. The length of the embankment as a Buffer Zone for this building was built in stages in accordance with the budget set by the Banjarmasin City River and Drainage Department . Thinking about the need to organize dense residential and slum areas on the banks of this river from literature, videos about Buffer Zones in earthquake and tsunami prone areas in Japan which implement these zones as places of effort to withstand very large tsunami waves.

Abstract:

This paper analyses the reasons for I-turn migration and the actual economic situation (measured by their income level, savings and expenditure) as well as their true social situation (assessed by the nature of relationship that exist between them and the villagers) in these communities as compared to those conditions they had while they were in urban areas. The study was conducted in some selected rural areas of Nara and Kyoto Prefectures. A structured questionnaire was designed and distributed to I-turners in the research areas and descriptive statistics were used to analyse the responses of the I-turners. The study revealed that the main reasons why I- turners moved to the rural areas are; preference to quiet and relaxed rural life (51.1%), to be engaged in agriculture (31.9%) and strong desire to raise kids in the rural environment (29.8%). The economic situation of the I-turners was not so favourable as most of them earned a lower income (59.6%) after moving from the cities. They also have to cope with decreased savings (44.7%), and some I-turners (27.7%) indicated that they do not save at all. At the same time, majority of them (60%) indicated that their expenditure was higher in the city compared to now that they are in the village. One of the reasons they gave for reduced expenditure in the rural area is as a result of a bilateral and close relationship that exist between them and their neighbours via various direct helps and indirect helps they receive from them. Nevertheless, these I-turners were often resisted by the influential village elders and old residents who were reluctant to accept innovative ideas from them. I-turners were expected to close the gap between them and the uncooperative members of the community by actively involving in village works and other social responsibilities. Based on the research findings, this paper concludes that the I-turners being faced with harsh economic condition and other uncomfortabilities, can be sustained in the rural areas where they perform a wide range of roles in solving rural problems if the attractions that the rural areas hold for them (which motivated their migration into these areas in the first place) are not tampered with. Also, the sustainability of these I-turn migrants in the rural area is highly dependent on the quality of relationship that exist between them and original members of each village community. This conclusion is based on the fact that the I-turners, though currently confronted with diverse economic and social challenges, still display a level of contentment in the rural life as a result of various gains of living in these areas (including their original reasons for migration) and the rich social relationship that exist between them and some of the cooperative villagers.

Abstract:

Despite rapid population aging and depopulation in Japan, groundwater nitrate contamination still poses serious environmental problems. One of the main factors contributing to elevated nitrate levels in Japanese groundwater sources is agricultural intensification, frequently because of increased fertilizer use. We investigated the impact of population aging and depopulation on groundwater nitrate contamination on a western Japanese island that has extensive citrus farming. In comparison to Ocho village, where the average age of farmers is 73 years, Kubi village’s farmers are slightly older on average, at 76 years, and agricultural land has decreased by 46% over the past ten years, from 2005 to 2015. Ocho had 830 residents, which was twice as many as Kubi. In comparison to Ocho (4.8 mg/L), Kubi village had higher average NO3−−N concentrations (6.6 mg/L). NO3−−N contamination sources in Kubi and Ocho were determined using stable nitrogen isotopes and a Bayesian isotope mixing model. These source distributions were more strongly associated with social and land use factors. It was believed that the older farmers in Kubi employed a significant quantity of chemical fertilizers, which caused inefficient nitrogen uptake by plants, leading to increased leaching and more groundwater contamination than in Ocho.

Abstract:

This paper offers an ethnographic account of seven village songs associated with community development in postwar rural Japan. These songs belong to Oyama Town in the southern island of Kyushu in Japan, and were created by the local community members mostly between 1961 and 1965. In Japan the village songs in prewar period were rooted in daily village life, and sang the glory of nostalgia in the form of work songs, party songs, calendrical or communal festival songs. In the postwar period, however, village songs embraced modernity as their focal theme. These seven village songs, created during high growth days, are songs with a difference as they portray efforts to bring about community development, under the New Plum and Chestnut (NPC) movement, with plum and chestnut as main crops, against the backdrop of a strongly centralized policy oriented rural Japan. The research found that the village songs had encouraged and motivated a rural community like the Oyama Town to create a “sense of community” through shared values and common goal. By exploring these songs, the research also identified that the local government such as the town office, which acted as a legitimate vehicle either by nurturing the potential local human resources or by entrusting the responsibility of community development with the local employees, had played an important role in devising and materializing the common goal—the development of Oyama.

Abstract:

It is no easy matter for a government seeking to foster rapid economic and social changes to win acceptance of its programs. Too much control by the center assures local resistance; too much dispersal of authority empowers it. The dilemma is a familiar one today, but it is not, of course, a new one. The leaders of Meiji (1868–1912) Japan found it to be the knottiest problem in their efforts to construct a modern state. They needed to exert sufficient central control of local government to assure that their initiatives could be enacted in Japan's villages and that taxes would flow to the center in a predictable and orderly manner. But these goals required the central government to permit a measure of autonomy—to rely on pre-Meiji inter- and intravillage organizations originally devised to guard and insulate the village from the demands of higher authority. Their efforts to resolve the dilemma quickly took on a note of desperation: in the first twenty years of the Meiji era, the government radically altered the system of local administration four times.
