Outline of Final Research Achievements

At the present time in Japan, people in the island societies tackle the subject whether they can by themselves continue to live in their island or not. When they cope with the problem at hand and try to secure their own lives, they also repeatedly reflect whether they secure the continuance of the regional society or not. They are sensitively ready to be concerned in the co-presence and the sympathy with each others or collective memories and so on, which are the clues to drive their own thinking and communication.
