Protection of river-environments based on Basin-based society - Contemporary networks and rural regions -

在现代化之前，流域社会的凝聚力有助于保护河流环境。我们的项目试图探讨后现代时代基于当代网络的流域社会重构和河流环境保护的可能性。在流域社会现代化的过程中，一方面，多种制度及其要素从下游地区(城市)流入上游地区(山村)，另一方面，各种资源从下游地区(城市)流向上游地区(山村)。换句话说，“意义”从下游的城市传到了上游的山村，而“物”和“人”则从后者传到了前者。在这种情况下，生活在山村的人们真的很难抗议强大的制度和意义，提供一些替代。京都宫山州阿舒县的人们坚决反对修建大坝，并建立了三西(可食用野生植物)加工厂。这样做的成功，不仅可以把他们自己的产品带到城市，还可以用掉头和掉头的形式欢迎来自城市的人。阿舒人的所作所为，一方面使宫山州无法依靠公共企业来依赖经济，另一方面使其采取了保护自然环境的政策，并将其作为吸引城市人的资源。我们研究了阿舒人如何利用城乡网络，并将生态旅游主义引入宫山州。

Before modernization, cohesiveness of basin-based society had been helpful to protect the environment of the river. Our project tries to investigate the possibilities of reconstruction of basin-based society and also protection of the river environment based on the contemporary networks in the postmodern era.In the process of modernization of basin-based society, on the one hand, many kinds of 'systems' and their factors flows Into upstream regions (mountain villages) from downstream regions (cities) and, the other hand, various resources flows out from the latter to the former. In other words, 'meanings ' came from downstream cities to upstream mountain villages and 'things' and 'people' went down to the former from the latter. In such situations, It's really difficult for the people living In mountain villages to protest against powerful systems and meanings and offer something alternative.People in Ashu in Miyama-chou, Kyoto prefecture firmly resisted against construction of dam and build Sansai (edible wild plants) processing factory. In doing so successfully, not only they could send their own products attached with unique 'meanings' to cities, but also welcome people from cities in the form of I-turn and U-turn.What people In Ashu have done, on the one hand, made Miyama-chou impossible to lean on to the economy depending on the public enterprise and, on the other hand, made it adopt the policy to protect the natural environments and use them as resources for attracting people from cities. We studied how people in Ashu could managed to utilize urban-rural networks and introduced eco-turism Into Miyama-chou.
