An anthropological study of the basic culture and the forest-amenity in the villages around the Shirakami mountains.

第一年，以被联合国教科文组织列为“世界遗产”的白神山为中心，考察了当地政府的动向，明确了各个地区的生活状况和历史进程，分析了接待其他地区客人的准备过程。第二年，尝试了解当地政府在经济活动方面的对策。此外，我们还在青森县的西目谷村进行了实地调查。第三年，我们根据青森一侧的资料，在秋田县的藤里镇进行了实地调查。结果，我们获得了大量的资料，可以对白神山两侧进行比较。在项目的最后一部分，我们制作了一份研究报告，通过对白上地区周边居民的基本文化进行分析，了解居民和地方政府的活动，并与山地利用制度和旅游产业的振兴相结合。因此，我们能够提供一个关于白神山周围的基本文化和森林舒适度的观点。

In the first year, tendencies of the local governments around the Shirakami Mountains which was registered as a "World Herritage" from UNESCO were focused on, and several aspects of subsistence in each area and historical processes were clarified.We also analyzed the process of preparations to receive guests from the other areas.In the second year, we attempted to understand the local government's tackle for economic activities. We also carried out a field survey at Nishimeya village in Aomori prefecture.In the third year, we carried out a field survey in Fujisato town in Akita prefecture based on the information from Aomori side.As a result, we have got a lot of information for comparison between both sides of the Shirakami Mountains.In the last part of the project for making a research report, we analyze the inhabitant's basic culture around the Shirakami area to grasp the activities of inhabitants and the local governments with reference to the system of mountain use and the promotion of tourism industries. Accordingly, we are able to provide a point of view about the basic culture and forest amenity around the Shirakami Mountains.
