A Cultural Geographical Study of recognitions and images of wild animals among Japanese people

该报告显示了日本人对野生动物的认知和形象倾向。对大阪市及其郊区居民、志贺县久月村和高岛町居民、佛教神社和猎人进行问卷调查，调查结果如下：对野生动物的识别和图像被认为是由深层和外层组成的。例如，在大阪这样的大城市中，居民的外层部分受到公园和动物园野生动物信息、大众传播和人物商品等信息的影响。此外，像久月村和高岛町这样遭受野生动物破坏的地区的居民中，外层部分受到了他们今天的劣势的影响。这些外层部分被认为是随着其区域自然环境和社会变化而不断变化的。然而，这种对野生动物的生命和灵魂的特殊感情的深度，避免杀戮和吃肉，被认为是日本人的特点，被认为不会有很大的改变。就个体而言，这种特殊的情感和态度在佛教徒身上得到的认可最为强烈，而在猎人身上则最为薄弱。
