Outline of Final Research Achievements

The Gidra people are a hunter-gatherer-cultivator tribe living in the low wetland that is located roughly in the center of the island of New Guinea and covers the southern coastal area near the Equator. The Gidra people, also called the Forest People, live in this tropical climate area by hunting game animals and gathering nuts in the tropical forests and the savannas, carrying out slash- and-burn agriculture by making use of the forests, fishing in the winding rivers and the web of tangled creeks, and growing sago palm (Metroxylon sagu) in the wetlands.
Since the human ecological research has been continued from 1980, population data of the Gidra was obtained for deep analysis of the Gidra villagers. New method of investigation was tried on the group hunting with bows and arrows by using GPS meter and accelerometer. We obtained the detailed data of hunting activity for many hunters simultaneously: GPS location, moving direction and speed of each hunter.
