Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study uses field research in the Obitsugawa river basin in Chiba prefecture and an examination of relevant literature to clarify village history from early modern times to the present day, focusing on the relationship between livelihood and the natural environment. The study also empirically identifies specific historical characteristics and trends in the utilization of natural resources within the rural landscape. Regional rural communities have possessed the technology and knowledge for sustainable utilization of these natural resources. This has been characterized by the emergence of ongoing and sustainable technologies that exist only within regional communities, where the natural environment has been developed into place for livelihood such as paddy fields and cultivated land. This is termed “appropriate technology and knowledge,” and is thought to be an important factor in considering future sustainable utilization of natural resources.
