Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study is a basic research of geographical information on distribution area of flora and fauna using the product documents of early modern Japan. It takes into consideration the possibility as useful spatial data to illuminate the spread of environmental modification that has advanced in recent years.First of all, I tried to collect the product documents in the Tohoku region. For example, “Iwate Ken Kankatsu chishi”(19c) , “Yonezawa Sanbutsusyu”(18c) and“Shochiku Orai”.I made the data base by them.
As an example of analysis, we report on the types of wild vegetables in Yamagata Prefecture and their use. In Iwate Prefecture, “Hamabofu”, which was confirmed in Kesen-gun in the first half of the 19th century, and “Hirohakusa-fuji” in Yoshihama, Gunma-gun, the former is now regarded as “extinctious threat increase” in Iwate Prefecture. The latter has already been reported as "extinct". It turned out that the distribution of both is very different from the 19th century.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究では東北地方における様々な動植物が参照された。産物データの中には前述のとおり、現在と分布範囲が異なる例が見出される。分布範囲が変化した原因については、個々の事例を詳細に検討する必要があるが、たとえば、気候変動のような地球規模の変化によるものと、人間の資源利用や乱獲、環境政策などのような人為的影響によるものが想定されよう。本研究の成果はこうしたマクロorミクロスケールの両視点に耐えうるもので、復元された各種の分布範囲は、生態系の長期的空間データとして高い価値を有すると考えられる。
