项目摘要

The Andes, as well as the Himalayas and Tibet, is the area where human beings live in the highlands of nearly 4000 meters above sea level. This research intends to shed light on the interrelationship of the human community and environment in the Andean uplands via cultural anthropology. We also adopt natural scientific method. To achieve this goal, we planed to make a comparative study of the Andes with the Himalayas and Tibet at the beginning. However, limitation of budget and a deterioration of public peace in the Himalayas prevented our doing so, and caused us to make an intensive investigation into the Andean highlands. We had studied the central Andes hitherto, but this time we carried out comparative research on the northern and southern Andes in order to understand the characteristic quality of the Andean highlands. Consequently, we discovered a peculiarity of the central Andean highlands and its utilization method. Therefore, natural scientists, such as an agronomist, a geographer, and geneticists, act in concert with cultural anthropologists in the latter half of the research period. This interdisciplinary collaboration enabled researchers to find much interesting information on environment, livestock farming and agriculture in the central Andes. Based on these findings and through frequent joint study meetings, we have prepared for bringing out a written report. In consequence, it is decided that the report titled "The Highland in the Andes.-Environment, Culture, and Life" will be published from the Kyoto University Press this year.

安第斯山脉，以及喜马拉雅山脉和西藏，是人类生活在海拔近4000米的高原地区。这项研究旨在通过文化人类学阐明安第斯高地人类社会与环境的相互关系。我们还采用自然科学的方法。为了达到这个目标，我们计划在一开始就对安第斯山脉与喜马拉雅山脉和西藏进行比较研究。然而，由于预算有限和喜马拉雅山的公共和平恶化，我们无法这样做，并促使我们对安第斯高地进行深入调查。迄今为止，我们一直在研究中部安第斯山脉，但这次我们对北方和南部安第斯山脉进行了比较研究，以便了解安第斯高地的特点。因此，我们发现了安第斯中部高地的一个特点及其利用方法。因此，自然科学家，如农学家、地理学家和遗传学家，在研究时期的后半期与文化人类学家协同行动。这种跨学科的合作使研究人员能够在安第斯山脉中部找到许多关于环境、畜牧业和农业的有趣信息。根据这些调查结果，并通过经常的联合研究会议，我们准备提出一份书面报告。因此，决定将题为“安第斯山脉的高地”的报告。《环境·文化·生活》将于今年由京都大学出版社出版。
