| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project aims to examine the de-territorialisation and re-territorialisation of symbolic concepts of nature by conducting anthropological fieldwork on the satoyama landscape in Japan, the mining landscape in the UK, and the mining landscape and townscape in Mexico. According to the fieldwork in different areas, when a symbolic concept of nature is de-territorialised from local to national areas, its understanding is generalised and shared by various stakeholders. In contrast, when the symbolic concept spreads in the international society, its understanding is specified and interpreted by using scientific words. As a result, only professionals and the selected people can share its value. When that symbolic concept, which is shared globally, is re-territorialised to local areas, many people provide their own perspectives on the same natural settings or landscape, and the understanding of symbolic concept of nature will become diverse.
