Study on the Environmental Change and Nomadic Pastoralism in Mongolian Steppe

在研究期间，调查人员在该领域和国内图书馆开展了每一项研究，并分析了有关该主题的现有来源和信息。研究成果在国际研讨会上发表，并在研究期刊上发表。大贺广树调查了清代发生的自然灾害信息和社会反应，以挽回损失。然后他利用了蒙古国家档案馆保存的档案资料。佐藤元之利用钻孔雷达，开发了乌兰巴托图尔河周边地下水文系统的定量分析技术。久多纯一建立了覆盖整个蒙古的NOAA图像数据库，并开展了探测积雪区域的方法学研究。明日香对蒙古南部环境保护的“生态驱逐”政策进行了研究，预计会产生一些负面后果，包括人权问题和种族对抗。Arashi Kitakaze考察了蒙古金矿的多样性。吉田纯一研究了牧牛养殖和附属农业的类型。铃木岩行的研究集中在与宗教意识和葬礼仪式有关的一些文化转型上。每个调查员都完成了最终报告的文章。这些也在2006年2月举行的“蒙古环境与转型社会”国际研讨会上得到了报道。

In the research term, the investigators carried out each research in the field and domestic libraries and analyzed available sources and information on the topic. The fruits of research were reported in the International symposium and published in research Journals. Hiroki Oka investigated information about natural disasters occurred in the Qing times and social response to recover the loss. Then he used the archival sources kept in Mongolian National Archive. Motoyuki Sato, using bore hole radar, developed quantitative analysis technology of underground hydro system around Tuul river, Ulaanbaatar. Jun-ichi Kudoh has set up the NOAA Image database which covers entire Mongolia as well as developed methodological study for detecting snow covered area. Jusen Asuka studied about "Ecological deportation" policy for environmental protection in Southern Mongolia and expected some negative consequences including human right issues and ethnic confrontation. Arashi Kitakaze investigated on the diversity of Gold mines of Mongolia. Jun-ichi Yoshida studied the types of pastoral cattle breeding and appendant agriculture. Iwayumi Suzuki's study was focused on some cultural transformation relating to religious consciousness and burial rituals. Each investigator completed article for the final report.
