| Research Abstract |
This study investigates the landscape structure of a coastal zone(satoumi) backed by settlements and cultivated fields, surveys the ecosystem of the area including local inhabitants, then explores the role of traditional subsistence activities in preserving and maintaining the coastal environment. Focusing on a stretch of coastal coral reef on northern Amamioshima Island, we conducted an underwater survey of seaweed harvesting beds, examined historical materials and interviewed locals regarding village livelihoods, and modeled water circulation processes using a Soil and Water Assessment Tool(SWAT). Based on these various findings, we then analyzed the relationship between employment in the area and ecological change.
