| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to clarify the situation of complex livelihoods and consider the changes in plant knowledge that accompany the transition of livelihoods in relation to individual experience, by fieldwork focused on two groups of hunter-gatherers in Tanzania. The results clarified that not only hunting and gathering but also various livelihoods such as agriculture and tourism are developing. The study hypothesized that through livelihood activities becoming complex or as people are forced to settle, an evaluation of their use of plants would become more complicated. This is because they would use plants in divese environments through various activities, rather than being concerned that plants use will would be intensively.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
民族植物学において、これまで採集と農耕は別々に扱われてきたが、本研究では、複数の生業の変化を連続的に扱いながら植物知識を分析したり、また、知識を個人の経験と結びつけて検討することの有用性を示すことができた。さらに、調査対象の人びとや彼らを支援するNGOに調査結果を共有することを心掛けてきたため、彼らが自分たちの社会の変化について客観的かつ多面的に考察する機会を提供することができたと考えている。
