Outline of Final Research Achievements

Geographical names are closely linked to everybody's daily life as well as part of the cultural heritage. In the advanced information society, they are also an important component for building up geographical information systems. This study examined current issues Japan is facing on geographical names, such as discrepancies of names used in the media and those used in textbooks, naming disputes at local authority mergers, and commercialisation of geographical names. Some examples of systems of other countries with a national geographical names board is shown, and finally some concrete recommendations, including an establishment of an inter-ministrial body that deals comprehensively with geographical names issues, awareness raising of society on the functions and importance of geographical names, development of human resources, and active participation in the international forum on geographical names.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

日本で地名に関わる様々な問題が生じている原因は、日本でこれまで地名の標準化がなされてこなかったことにある。ここで「地名の標準化」とは「公的機関による地名の表現方法等についての規範の確立」を意味する。国際的には、国連において1967年より地名標準化会議(UNCSGN)が開催され、同会議は加盟各国に対して国内の地名全体を俯瞰し調整する組織の設置を勧告してきたが、日本では今だに実現していない。本研究によって、地名標準化の意義が明確になり、日本における地名標準化の制度的実現につながることを期待する。
