The fishing group of Amamachi community, at the tip of the Noto Peninsula jutting out into the Japan Sea, is very distinctive in terms of life style. It has thus attracted many previous studies on this group in various disciplines. Most of them, however, have tended to demonstrate its uniqueness by introducing its uncommon customs. Nevertheless, such a conventional view should be modified now: this group, I think, is typical of kaimin (maritime people), one of the major marginal groups, whose importance has been r6ather neglected so far due to an influential and far-reaching point of view focused on rice cultivation.In the third section, the primary purpose to see them within the whole context of Japanese society in the right perspective was pursued. To do so, their situation was investigated in reference to kyakumin (major marginal people with autonomy) or kaimin with their own histories different from paddy-cultivating people. Unlike most kyakumin/kaimin groups, which have been weakened, dissolved or extinguished because of their failure in coping with new situations brought by changes over time, the Amamachi community has lasted well until now. Its sustainability deserves careful attention.Amamachi's fishing people are considered to be descendants of fishing people of Kanegasaki District located in the northern part of Kyushu. Since their arrival at the Noto Peninsula, they had been engaed in diving fishing under the protection of the Kaga Clan (Maeda Territory) until the end of the Edo Period (1603-1867). They had been conscious of their distinct characteristics and confirmed the difference between their own and surrounding societies by stressing their relation with the Kaga Clan and by remembering their own historical origin. Such an attitude was effective in keeping the autonomy of the group against the dominance of shumin (main people) engaged in paddy cultivation. In this sense, the Amamachi community indicated a prominent characteristic corresponding to that of kyakumin.On the other hand, another characteristic of theirs as kaimin is found in the following attitudes: wider mobility to seek better fishing grounds and acquire new trading areas, aggressive fishing methods based on high technical skills, and indifference to agriculture in general.In the fourth section, the second aim of this paper to substantiate the sustainability of the community was explored chiefly by tracing changing processes of systems and customs of their society. In particular, I devoted attention to the two periods when the community confronted crises of existence: the time of the second half of the nineteenth century, when the modern age began in Japan, and the high economic growth period in the mid-twentieth century. Their reponses for surviving can be summarized as follows:As for the second half of the nineteenth century, because of the collapse of the Bakufu-system, the relation between the Kaga Clan and this community was annulled. This implied that they would lose the exchange route for marine products and agricultural crops. Fortunately, however, a loose stratification occurred in this period, resulting in an establishment of the oyakata-kokata (patron-client) relation. While oyakata newly came to be in charge of the exchange instead of the Kaga Clan, kokata could peddle their extra products individually-this was called nadamadari (peddling trip)-. This suggests that newly emerged oyakata had a certain power, but nadamawari and other community controls restrained an excessive stratification.With respect to the high economic growth period, the wide diffusion of powerboats improved fishing productivity and accelerated the monetary economy. These changes caused a dissolution of oyakata-kokata relation and a decline of nadamawari.

1990年に建設省が各地方建設局に通達した「多自然型川づくり」の推進は,従来にない環境配慮型の川づくりを目指したものであった.この方針は1997年の改正河川法に取り入れられ,さらに2006年には「多自然川づくり」と改称され,現在にいたっている.この方針のもと,全国各地の河川でさまざまな人工構造物が設置されてきた.本稿では,過去20数年間に行われた環境配慮型河川改修の諸事例を分類・整理することで「多自然(型)川づくり」の実態を把握し,それらが河川関係者の間に大きな混乱をもたらした状況について,その背景を考察する.

本稿は,英語圏の地理学,とくに人文地理学における近年の災害研究の動向を概観するものである。具体的には,2000年以降の英語圏における主要な地理学系雑誌から災害に関係する論文を抽出・吟味し,地理学とその周辺で行われてきた災害研究に関わる議論を振り返りながら,今後の災害研究の方向性について展望する。過去十数年の災害研究を概観してみると,災害研究という領域が比較的新しいものであり,そこで議論される内容も多岐にわたって混沌とした状況である一方,その研究の動向は,空間論としての災害研究,人間-環境関係論としての災害研究,および学際性と社会性を意識する災害研究という,いくつかの主要な関心が存在することが分かる。いずれも,地理学という学問分野の本質に関わる議論であり,新領域でありながら,地理学的研究の原点に立ち返る契機を含んでいる。ただ,現状では,各地の個別の災害に対する現場レベルの具体的分析が先行し,また社会貢献を意識した実践研究の優先度が高くなっているため,災害研究の抽象化や理論化という方向性は,十分に深化しているとは言えない。災害の基礎研究や理論研究の進展が,より本質的な意味で防災や減災,復興などに貢献しうるような仕組みを構築することも,災害研究の重要な学問的・社会的責務であると思われる。

本稿では,1980年代以降の英語圏における地理学者を中心に発展してきたポリティカル・エコロジー論(PE 論)が,いかにして独自の枠組みを発展させてきたのかについて検討する。特に本稿では,2000年代以降の PE 論における新たな展開として,スケールの議論に注目した研究に考察の焦点を絞る。PE 論の系譜をたどると,1980年代は文化生態学や生態人類学,新マルサス主義の分析視角に対する批判的検討を出発点として,生態学と政治経済学の統合的アプローチを提示した。1990年代には PE 論独自の枠組みを模索する中で,ポスト構造主義的な視点に基づく社会理論との接合を目指す研究が増加し,取り扱うテーマも環境・開発に関わる言説やジェンダー研究へと広がりをみせた。2000年代以降は再び生態学的な視点への関心が高まっており,こうした流れと連動するかたちでスケールの議論に関する研究が注目を集めている。特に PE 論のスケールに関する議論は,土壌や植生といった自然環境条件に基づく「生態的スケール」と,社会的・政治的なプロセスを通じて構築されるスケールとの相互作用に着目していることを特徴としている。今後の展望としては,地理学と生態学のスケールに関する議論を相互に参照しつつ,資源管理や環境ガバナンスのスケールに注目した実証研究を積み上げることで,PE 論独自のスケール論を発展させていくことが期待される。

本稿は,マレーシア・サラワク州(ボルネオ島)での調査をもとに,イバンと呼ばれるエスニック集団の農村―都市間移動の一端を紹介した上で,彼らの移動を考察するための三つの視角を提示する.具体的には,地方都市と後背農村を含んだ調査対象地域の設定,都市と農村の区分を曖昧化する移動者そのものへの注目,そして,農村社会の安定性・定住性を前提とした考え方(セデンタリズム sedentarism)に対する批判の3点である.これらは,イバンの生活世界の総体を現代的文脈のなかでとらえることを可能にするだけではなく,東南アジアにおける諸エスニック集団の農村―都市間移動を再考するために不可欠な視点である.そして,こうした視点は,特定のエスニック集団を考察対象とする場合の,地理学的研究と人類学的研究との接合可能性をも示唆するものである.
