Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this project, I digitized unique historical data and investigated mechanisms behind cultural and political development. In the first theme of the project, I examined the relationship between historical battles and cultural development. To do so, I collected and prepared the historical data of arts and artists and those of battles. They are novel "big data" whose global coverage ranges from ancient to modern times. In the second theme of the project, I examined the relationship between battles and political development. I digitized the first Census of Japan and the data of labor disputes and the House of Representatives elections, and created the polygon data of historical administrative boundaries. The findings of the project have been published as an academic article and a book chapter.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

これまでの研究では、経済発展の背後にある文化や政治の発展や衰退、変化について、あるいはそれらの間の相互関係について学術的に明らかになっていないことが多かった。その意味で、文化と政治に関するユニークな歴史データを取得・整備し、因果分析を行った本研究の学術的意義は大きい。また、その過程で整備された第一回国勢調査や行政区域ポリゴンデータは重要な公共財産であり、その意味で本研究の社会的意義も大きいと考えられる。
