Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

沖縄県本島中部地域の米軍基地内に存在する聖地(拝所)のの現地調査を実施したことにより、沖縄の基地と聖地の継承や運営の実態をが明らかにし、民俗的儀礼の継承が、米軍基地内に点在する元住民の軍用地料と密接に関わる社会構造を分析した。基地内に存在する聖地の運営は、元住民の保持する軍用地主料に多く依存している。同時に、聖地のある場所は、元集落の位置する黙認耕作地に点在している。現在の自治会員と分散居住する元集落構成員による「郷友会」と聖地の関係を記述・分析した。本研究では、基地内より返還された土地での聖地に着目し、その経済人類学的分析と文化財保護の観点からの共同体研究である。
