Outline of Research at the Start |
本研究は、ハマダラ蚊(Anopheles)が媒介で感染するマラリアに焦点をあて、文理融合の学際研究により、①日本占領期インドネシアの医療・防疫を理解すること、②マラリア予防や衛生に対する政策や周知指導を詳らかにしながら、政策や指針を策定するにあたった当時の実状と、医療・衛生政策実践後の社会や生活の変化を理解することを目的とする。 独創的な点としては、日本占領期インドネシア研究において、政策と生活を結びつける「医療・衛生」という新たな領域に着目したことであり、マラリアというパンデミックを探求することで、医療のみならず、政治、経済、文化、社会生活を詳らかにすると考えたことである。

Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Research during 2022 emphasized collection of materials in Japan and abroad, but some initial analysis has been conducted. Our research has demonstrated that advertising and films were of critical importance for Indonesian society before and during the war. In particular during the war, there was an important relationship between festivals and dissemination of medical knowledge to the general public on Java, including promotion of anti-malarial fish for human consumption. The system of combatting malaria in Indonesia included Japanese insecticides, but prewar global production shifted to include local Indonesia production, initially anticipated to be for export. Newly discovered materials are helping to clarify Japanese anti-malarial medicine production and distribution, and Japanese military medical research publications have been identified. Connections to prewar health propaganda and medical systems, through both establishment of laboratories including in Semarang, Makassar, and the interconnections between the medical efforts on Java and on other islands have become clearer.

Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
Research in the US, the Netherlands, Indonesia and Japan included substantial archival work to collect materials, greater exploration of newly available online materials, analysis of previously identified materials, and some interviews. There were setbacks due to health issues of researchers and interviewees, but alongside such delays, we have substantially advanced knowledge about malaria, medicines, and more broadly about health systems and society in Indonesia. Besides participation in an international conference in Singapore, an international symposium in Sendai helped disseminate research results quickly, and to continue collaboration and exchange of information with foreign researchers. Publication in international journals and other publications is unavoidably slow. Some materials are being made available via our website.

Strategy for Future Research Activity |
During the next periods we plan to complete work on some of the alternative medicine schemes and efficacy, the interplay of different anti-malarial compounds in Indonesia and Asia, the medical education infrastructure, research and practical activities of individuals, including the Borneo-based Dr. Soesilo. We also expect to further examine the use of popular health strategies, as well as examination other public health infrastructure efforts. More information about the functioning of health care provision will also be pursued. Efforts to prepare a joint publication will be undertaken.
