The Return, Transfer and Reutilization of the Military Bases and Okinawa Development

(1)研究主题(1)1996年“日美冲绳特别行动委员会(中美合作所)”达成共识的美军基地归还、移交和再利用研究。重点研究了冲绳北部普天间空军基地向名护市的转移和约米坦空军基地的回归。(2)区域发展研究。(1)政府为实现区域发展所采取的各项措施。作为接收空军基地的交换补偿。(2)关于将约米坦和普天间空军基地腾出的土地再利用为生产性民用用途。(3)环境保护方面。从历史的角度研究冲绳与其他国家(中国、亚洲和巴西)之间的国际交流。2)主要研究成果。现在正在编写REORG…由于美国世界战略的变化，美国的军事力量更加现代化。在这个机会中，冲绳政府。人们强烈要求日本政府减轻冲绳基地的负担。(2)基地活动造成了许多破坏和灾难：如直升机坠落到私人区域，飞机和直升机发出的极端噪音，士兵的强奸和危险的军事训练等。强烈的舆论和公民运动，批评和抵制基地的存在。(3)反对基地破坏环境的公民运动扩大了对国际和世界的影响。(4)冲绳县县长领导了《美日地位协定改革》运动(5)由于上述运动和战略变化，美日两国政府都开始重新考虑各自的政策。移走底座。(6)研究的其他重点是普天间基地转移的政治进程，以及约米坦空军基地的回归进程和利用其腾退场地的计划形成。3)最重要的研究成果如下两点：(1)环境问题已成为最重要的社会问题。没有。考虑到这一问题，不仅涉及区域发展的措施，而且涉及基础政策的措施都不能落实。(2)冲绳的根据地政策是最强的。世界上最大的电力系统。然而，即使是如此强大的制度也无法帮助调整和改变其政策和措施，当这种制度迫使居民的生活世界做出无法承受的牺牲时，引起了人们的强烈抵制。我们在研究中获得了这样的历史和社会学想象力。较少

1) Themes of the Research(1) The study on the return, transfer and reutilizat.ion of the American military bases agreed with by the consensus of "Japan--U.S. Special Action Committee on Okinawa(SACO)" in 1996.

In this chance, Okinawa government. and people are strongly asking Japanese government, to diminish the Okinawa burden of bases. (2)Many damages and disasters have been caused by base activities : such as the fall of helicopter to private area, extreme noises caused by airplanes & helicopters, rapes by soldiers and dangerous military trainings, etc. Such sufferings brought about. the severe public opinion and citizens movement criticizing and resisting to the existence of bases.

Without. considering to this problems, all measures not only relating to the regional development, but the base policies cannot, be implemented. (2)The base policies in Okinawa are the ones made by the strongest. power system in the world. However, even such strong system could not help to readjust and change its policies and measures, when this system forced the inhabitants' world of lives the unbearable sacrifices which cause the strong resistance from people. We acquired such historical and sociological imagination in our study. Less
