Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Focusing on the immigrant communities from Pukapuka Atoll in Rarotonga, Cook Islands and Auckland, NZ, this study captured the history and organization of these communities and clarified their characteristics of the main objective of mutual aid in normal times. This study then pointed out the functions of immigrant communities, paying attention to cultural transmission such as their own language and performing arts, as well as reconstruction assistance following the massive cyclone disaster that hit the atoll society in 2005. The resilience of the Pukapukan lifeworld in the contemporary era should be discussed not only in terms of the flexibility and precision of resource management and use system in Pukapuka Atoll society as derived from previous studies, but also in terms of the inter-island network connecting atoll society and multiple migrant communities.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
狭小性とヴァルネラビリティに特徴付けられる傾向の強い環礁社会を、マルチサイテッド・フィールドワークという方法により、インターアイランド・ネットワークという視点から捉え直し、脱領域的でレジリエントな社会として論じる点で、学術的意義が高い。加えて、環礁社会の住民による複数地域への移住を、気候変動が深刻化する現代における主体的な戦略として提示することで、国際社会および各国におけるリスク・マネジメントに関する施策に対して直接に寄与できる点で、社会的意義がある。
