Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study was conducted in the Teknaf Peninsula of Bangladesh, which has hosted a rapid influx of Rohingya refugees since 2017. The objective of the study was to identify the impact of the refugees on local communities and forest resources by analyzing local communities, refugees, and external organizations (governmental and non-governmental) as elements of the local ecosystem. The result of this study is that, while the influx of refugees inevitably places a certain burden on local nature and society, positive impacts triggered by the influx of refugees were also observed, such as the expansion of the fishing industry that uses refugees as labor, increased employment opportunities for local residents such as NGO employees, and signs of forest revival due to international support for LP gas diffusion.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

従来、難民による環境影響の分析では、難民自体の行為やホスト国の対応を中心に行われてきたが、この研究成果の第一の学術的意義は、難民による環境影響の研究に明示的に外部アクターの役割を組み込んだことにある。また、社会的意義としては難民がホスト社会に対して一方的に負担になるだけでない面を示したことがあげられる。日本の社会に対しては、比較的情報の少ないグローバルサウスにおける難民問題の一時的な情報を提供できたことも意義があると考えられる。
