Research on Family and Village Community in Okinawa

首先，与17世纪形成的岛尻地区不同，日本国上地区是明治以后新形成的世系群体。其重要标志是蒙古族群体墓，但总体上其建设滞后于蒙古族自身的形成。在国上，它是在20世纪30年代才形成的。由于财产土地狭窄，祖坟的继承比财产的继承更重要，以至于继承它的个人似乎成为了一个蒙族的单位，而不是雅族。其次，社区共有财产，特别是共有森林，是琉球王国管制政策的产物，并不是原始时代的起源。18世纪王国的森林管制政策将公共森林划分为属于某一共同体。然而，海洋根本没有被划分，社区也没有领土。就公共财产而言，社区似乎是政治控制的产物。

Firstly, Monchu, a lineage group, was formed newly after meiji in Kunigami region, being different from Shimajiri region, where it had been formed in 17th century. The important symbol is Monchu group grave, but generally the construction of it laggs behind the formation of Monchu itself. In Kunigami, it has been formed just since 1930s. Because of the narrow property land, the succession of ancestral mortuary tablet is more important than that of property, so that an individual who succeed it seemes to become a unit of Monchu rather than Ya.Secondly, the common property of community, especially the common forest, is a product of control policy of Ryukyu Kingdom, and it is not a primitive time origin. The common forest was devided to belong to a certain community by the forest control policy in 18th century of the Kingdom. However the sea has not been divided at all, and the community has no territory to it. As far as the common property is concerned, the community seems to be a product of political control.
