Research Abstract

持続可能性(sustainability)は,地球環境問題を考える上で最も重要なキーワードの-つであるが,多くの持続可能性研究の中で人間集団の健康・生存の位置づけは明確でない.本研究は,地域の持続可能性(local sustainability)について,過去から調査を継続しているアジア途上国農村地域を対象とした包括的な調査を実施する.調査内容は,持続可能性の障壁となり得る健康関連事象として,人口構造,慢性疾患,化学汚染の3つを想定し,これらの経年変化の速度が異なると予想される複数集落を対象に,比較解析を行う.これらが10-20年程度のスケールで地域の持続可能性の障害となるかどうかを予測する
