Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study explains the dynamic pathways of the final colliery, Taiheiyo Coal Co. Ltd., and the local community of Kushiro city. It refers specifically to the micro and macro contexts involved the company’s management history, the mechanization of mining, the community’s history, the government’s coal policy and the economic circumstances. The findings of this study show that the Japanese coal industry is going through a period of transformation from the modern style mining industry to industries based on energy and resources. According to this transformation, the only miners remaining in Japan are facing major turning points in their employment structure and career. This study will further develop into a complementary study which contains a comparison of Taiheiyo with other coal fields and the elaboration of the transformation of the coal industry.
