Outline of Research at the Start |
The purpose of this study is to investigate the mismatch of commons boundaries, users, and benefits in contemporary Japanese society. Today, commons resource and benefits are often mismatched, with underuse becoming a problem. This project investigates Japanese fisheries, forestry, and urban commons in order to identify how commons can be re-imagined and/or re-vitalized.
|
Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study how Japanese forestry and fisheries commons are at risk through misfit -e.g.,demographic/environmental change- and to uncover commoners’ efforts and solutions to address such misfit through Re-imaginings and revitalizations of commons. RE-IMAGININGS include ecosystem-wide thinking, such as cases in which fishers planted trees. REVITALIZATIONS included opening commons areas to the outside public or accepting new residents as commoners. In Aichi, a communal forest was opened as a mountain bike riding area for young employees (outsiders) of a locally factory. The employees built mountain bike trails and also participated in the regular joint work of taking care of the forest commons with the traditional commoners. In the FISHERIES case, commons also opened up after outsiders joined cooperative fisheries work groups as a means to adapt to the 2011 post-tsunami situation. Though significant changes were not made,any opening up was a change.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
我々の調査によれば、コモンズへの部外者の参加に躊躇や課題を見出すことは珍しいことではなく、文化的にも同様の状況が観察された。例えば、沿岸のコミュニティ(獅子舞-地元文化遺産)や地域の漁業などである。部外者と話し合い、彼らの信頼と相互尊重を得る機会が与えられれば、ためらいながらも変化をもたらすことができる。ガバナンスの課題は残るが、努力なしには、コモンズとその要素が社会にもたらす利益は失われかねない。
Building communication and trust with outsiders can benefit both commons and commoners.
