The Sociological Study on Local Images and Cultural Changes made byTourism, Migration and Media

我从全球背景的角度反思了我对冲绳的研究，形成了从环境、资源、不平等、金融、军事和媒体等更全面的角度来理解全球化的视角。基于这种全球视角，我将冲绳与夏威夷、关岛和宫崎市等其他地区进行了比较，并考察了它们之间的互动关系。由于一些军事化的地方也成为了旅游景点，我理解夏威夷、关岛和冲绳之间的相似之处。很明显，夏威夷的移民、旅游和媒体相互作用，对冲绳天堂形象的形成产生了很大影响。

I reflected my study on Okinawa in terms of global contexts and formed the perspective to understand globalization in more total aspects; environment, resources, inequality, finance, military and media. On the basis of this global perspective, I compared Okinawa with other areas like Hawaii, Guam and Miyazaki, and inspected their interactive relationship. In that some militarized places also became tourist sites, I understood the similarity among Hawaii, Guam and Okinawa. And it became clear that migration, tourism and media in Hawaii interactively had a great influence on the formation of Okinawa’s paradise images.
