Research Abstract

A relationship between resilience of local communities and social conventions that have accumulated in the communities was examined through the perspective of historical sociology with a case study on Yaeyama Islands after the experience of the Meiwa Tsunami in 1771. It was suggested that an inconsistency between the immigration policy of peasants by the Ryukyu government and social conventions on the land usage in Yaeyama Island had caused virulence of the malaria disease, which had led to social stagnation of the area over 140 years after the Tsunami.
