Database on Asian Area Study and Construction of Researchers' Academic Network Focused on Geography

我们的研究旨在考察地理学家是如何发展的。从方法论和技术角度参与战后亚洲地区研究。为了在学术史的背景下认识到这一点，我们进行了两种调查。一是记录个人在当时研究环境中的实地经历，到相关组织或出国留学的一次谈判过程，对未来的各种研究展望，对国际学术交流的实践和期望等等。对28位从事亚洲区域研究多年的资深地理学家进行访谈，并将其以个人或研究机构成员/领导的身份进行书面记录，并由我们的成员补充说明其学术背景。主要资深地理学家有：1)个人/长期研究：KONO Michihiro（中国）、ISHIHARA Hirosi（中国）、YOSHINO Masatoshi（中国）、HIGUCHI Setsuo（韩国）、TAKAH…More ASHI Akira（菲律宾）、OYA Masahiko（应用地理学）、UMEHARA Hiromitsu（菲律宾）、HIRADO Mikio（马来西亚）、SASAKI Komei（农业文化）；2)组织研究小组：印度在广岛大学由YONEKURA二郎、ishiida Hiroshi、FUJIWARA Kenzo发起；京都大学学派的西南亚研究：ODA Takeo和SUEO Yoshiyuki高村博树的《立正大学的中国与韩国研究》，以及其他以民族志为导向的地理学先驱岩田敬二、川田二郎、大岛丈二的《三方对话》。我们的第二项工作是找出我们的图书馆、专门从事亚洲地区研究的研究机构的书目或机构数据，收集我们的会员和指定人员关于日本的相关书籍和网站信息（国会图书馆关西馆、发展经济研究所、国防研究所）。我们试图将我们的研究与日本人类地理学会亚洲区域研究分会联系起来，分享这些信息和从他们的实地经验中提炼出来的升华智慧。我们打算在未来发布上述数据库。少

Our research aims at examining how geographers have been. participating in Asian area studies in the postwar period from methodological and technical points. Two kinds survey were conducted in order to realize it in the context of academic history. One is to record personal field experience in hi/her then research environment, a negotiation process to related organizations or studying abroad, various kinds of research vision to the future, practice and expectation to the international academic exchange and so on. Twenty-eight senior geographers, who have touched the Asian area studies for many years as individual or member/leader of research organization, were interviewed, transcribed into written form, and added to supplementary explanation and his/hers academic background by our members. Main senior geographers are in the following, 1)Individual/Term research : KONO Michihiro(China), ISHIHARA Hirosi(China), YOSHINO Masatoshi(China's physical environment), HIGUCHI Setsuo(Korea), TAKAH … More ASHI Akira(Philippine), OYA Masahiko(applied geography), UMEHARA Hiromitsu(Philippine), HIRADO Mikio(Malaysia), SASAKI Komei(agrarian culuture), 2)Organized research groups : India in Hiroshima University initiated by YONEKURA Jiro, ISHIDA Hiroshi, FUJIWARA Kenzo; Southwest Asia studies in Kyoto University School : ODA Takeo and SUEO Yoshiyuki; China and South Korea studies in Rissho University by TAKAMURA Hiroki and others 3)three-way conversation by pioneered ethnographic-oriented geographers : IWATA Keiji, KAWAKITA Jiro, OSHIMA Joji. Our Second work is to figure out the bibliographical or institutional data on libraries, research organizations specialized in Asia area studies by us, collect related books and Website information by our members and assigned person about Japan(Kansai-kan of National Diet Library, Institute of Developing Economics, National Institute for Defense Studies). We tires to link our research with Asian area studies sectional meeting in the Human Geographical Society of Japan, share these information and sublimated wisdom extracted from their field experience. We are intended to release the above database in the future. Less
