Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study investigated a new traffic network in tropical Africa and to determine the negative impact it has had on livelihoods and the natural environment in the area. Interview were conducted with local people, construction workers who build the road, and representatives of some conservation groups in the main study area―a cacao production site in southern Cameroon where the road work is currently being done. It was found that locals made positive use of the new paved road, using the opportunity to sell non-timber forest products in cities and to develop their social relationships to support their survival and to improve their forest livelihoods.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では、現地調査によって現地住民の開発への応答を明らかにしただけでなく、文献調査によって歴史的な視点を組み込み、今日のアフリカにおける交通網整備の性格を位置づけた点も学術的意義がある。アフリカにおける交通網整備は、現在、国境をまたぐ形で多様な主体(多国籍企業、国際機関、西欧諸国だけでなくアジアや南米などの国家)が、それぞれの思惑で関わっており、日本の資金援助も無視できないことを示すことで、アフリカの現状を無視できないようにする。その点で社会的意義があると言える。
