For decades, Uganda has been a favourable destination for refugees. Between the late 1980s and the 1990s, violent conflicts in northern Uganda and southern Sudan caused complex patterns of human movement, including internal and cross-border migration. In addition, a mass influx of refugees from South Sudan occurred in late 2013. Uganda hosts the largest number of refugees in Africa, taking a progressive refugee management approach aimed at self-reliance and the peaceful coexistence of refugees and the host population. This paper reveals how South Sudanese refugees and the host population, most of whom consist of people who were displaced during the regional armed conflict, navigate life in new social and economic conditions in and around a refugee settlement in mid-western Uganda. Refugees have long been looked upon as a burden to host countries. Recent studies on the refugee economy, however, reveal that refugees can contribute to the Ugandan economy. I analyse how a refugee-hosting area saw economic development and urbanisation in a relatively short period. On the other hand, local people, whether refugees or Ugandan nationals, have been struggling to cope with the depletion of resources, including food, land, and firewood. Finally, I discuss the social and economic impact of conflict-induced migration in refugee-hosting areas.

本発表の目的は、ウガンダのキリヤドンゴ難民居住地を事例とし、南スーダン難民の生計における難民の「自立」と依存を考察することである。ウガンダは、1955年から現在に至るまで、多くの(南)スーダン難民を受け入れてきた。発表では、ウガンダの難民政策の下での難民の生計活動とホスト社会の形成に注目し、生計における難民の「自立」が、個々の生計活動だけでなく、ホスト社会との社会経済関係に依存していることを示す。

An abandoned traditional steelmaking in Southwest Ethiopia (Dime) has been restored, and the technology and knowledge used for the operation have been metallurgically analyzed. The restoration was carried out with local blacksmiths from September to October in 2004, and the steelmaking operation including mining, construction of a furnace and charcoal production, etc was successfully performed. Produced sponge iron contains 0.31∼0.48 mass% carbon without any impurities. The yield ratio of the iron was about 40%. The collected slag contains the elements of Fe, Si, Al, K, P, Ti and Mn, which are typical components of slag. The blacksmiths used three kinds of iron ore, named “Balt”, “Bullo” and “Gachi”. The former two ores mainly consist of goethite (α-FeO(OH)) and kaolinite (Al2O3•2SiO2•2H2O). The latter includes calcium phosphate hydrate (Ca3(PO4)2•xH2O) in its white part, as well as the goethite and kaolinite. The reason why the local blacksmiths specifically selected “Gachi” as the best ore for their steelmaking was discussed from the viewpoint of slag forming ability.
