| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Targeting the "mizube" zone, the always or periodically changing waterside ecotone that represents a transition from land to water, my study of shifts in how two principal actors, nature and human beings, have influenced each other has resulted in the following outcome:Theme 1) "Elucidation of a land-tenure system based on the premise of shifts between land and water". I compiled the "Harima Province Yano Estate Fluvial Database" of "fluvial" historical records, which include information about land recertified as rivers and thus made tax-exempt, and uploaded the database publicly on the World Wide Web.Theme 2) "The relationship between villages and the ways the transitional environment between land and water have been utilized for subsistence activities". I published a book, "The Environment and Villages in Medieval Japan" (Shibunkaku Co., Ltd.), in which I argued that intensification and localization of subsistence activities has taken place in waterside ("mizube") villages.
