Research Abstract |
This study aims to clarify the diversity and meaning of the human dwelling pattern in the tropical rain forest, from the viewpoint of ecology in the broader sense, including informational and sociological aspects. So far, Japanese researchers center on Kyoto University have been conducting long-term research in African rain forests, especially in South-East Cameroon. In this study we carried out the research mainly in this area, along the following 3 axes : "ecological environment", "informational environment", and "social environment." There live "Pygmy" hunter- gatherers and Bantu farmers in this area, and the way of dwelling of these two groups so much differ. I.e. Pygmies live coexistent with the forest, but farmers change and exploit the forest, on the contrary. These ways of dwelling will provide some light on how the humans dwell on this planet in 21^<st> century. The results of this study were collected up in the two books : "People, Nature and History of African Tropical Forests I : From Ecological Perspectives," and "People, Nature and History of African Tropical Forests II : From Sociological Perspectives" published in 2010.
