| Research Abstract |
(1)The research identified that ; cultural heritage management in Asia/Pacific region mostly deals with tangible heritage. However, the region doesn't have an idea to recognize values of and make use of intangible heritage or heritage produced as a result of mixture of tangible and intangible elements that defines characteristics of this regional culture for tourism development.
(2)Through our research in 2003,it was identified that the old capital of Levuka in Fiji is the case in which cultural heritage management and tourism have an outstanding relationship. This time, we have conducted three field researches of Levuka. Consequently following subjects were accomplished : collection of fundamental information of Levuka including history, maps and maps of land registration ; understanding conservation status of historic structures built between the end of 19^<th> century and early 20^<th> century ; recognizing urgent necessity of developing a heritage management plan ; analyzing and compiling researches results ; submitting a report and proposal to Ministry of Heritage of Fiji, National Trust of Fiji and Agency for Cultural Affairs of Japan ; based on the submitted proposal, considering a possibility of technical assistance by Japan in the field of heritage conservation ; establishing a relationship for research collaboration among governments of Fiji and Japan, and Kyushu University.
(3)Regarding a research of some case studies on constructing a relationship between cultural heritage management and tourism that are observed in tourism development policy or regional planning, we have conducted researches in City of Dazaifu, City of Hagi, Shirakawa Village and Taketomi Island. Through those researches, we have developed a model for sustainable relationship between cultural heritage management and tourism which are based on a series of method of identifying cultural heritage, developing database of heritage, and regional planning using a theory of field museum.
