Research Abstract |
Globalization is ,on the one hand, a main factor of the collapse of village community, on the other hand a key factor of the creation of new community. The purpose of the study is to discuss these phenomena using the data collected in several field survey in HATOMA and NORTHERN ISHIGAKI. HATOMA, since 1970's, because of decline of fihery and increase of higher education there had been remarkable depopulalization. Immigrants, however, have organized a new HATOMA community in ISHIGAKIJIMA. They have not only participated actively annual festivals held in their home island, but also politically and emotionally supported their home islanders although they had no economic concern to the Island. HATOMA society is not in HATOMA ,but in ISHIGAKI, so the community life had continued ,never interrupted, from HATOMA to ISHIGAKI. Besides that, in HATOMA, newcomers from all parts of Japan, without interruption, had come to live shortly. So the numbers of households keep constantly same (almost 30). In NORTHERN ISHIGAKI, after settlers from MIYAKO and OKINAWA left, new Okinawa-dreamers from all parts of Japan came to settle new life, stimulated by the idea and the ideology of nostalgia and authenticity of real human-based way of life. For them, depopulalizaion and large number of aged people is desirable because of slow and natural- based life.
