Outline of Final Research Achievements

The sociological model was made how people remember as the “memory” when resource of the area is left. The model was concluded as "seen” (the process to which people reorganize culture) and "see” (the process to which culture is represented). The “seen” model is formed by a matrix as "daily life"-"non-daily life " and "production"-"non-production". The "see” model is that people experience "mediate" related with the past and people imagine the past.
It became clear that various culture becomes the resource of the sightseeing via these two models.
