Outline of Final Research Achievements

We put hearing survey and a questionnaire survey in three coastal fishing areas and found the features of those areas. Above all, we paid attention to the difference in the closeness among fishermen in each area. We also conducted a series of experiments in Niigata Prefecture, Japan. The result of public goods experiments is quite different from our expectation. That is our future subject.
