  • Nansei Islands Biological Diversity Evaluation Project Report 1 Chapter 1
    Introduction WWF Japan’s involvement with the Nansei Islands can be traced back to a request in 1982 by Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh. The “World Conservation Strategy”, which was drafted at the time through a collaborative effort by the WWF’s network, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), posed the notion that the problems affecting environments were problems that had global implications. Furthermore, the findings presented offered information on precious environments extant throughout the globe and where they were distributed, thereby providing an impetus for people to think about issues relevant to humankind’s harmonious existence with the rest of nature. One of the precious natural environments for Japan given in the “World Conservation Strategy” was the Nansei Islands. The Duke of Edinburgh, who was the President of the WWF at the time (now President Emeritus), naturally sought to promote acts of conservation by those who could see them through most effectively, i.e. pertinent conservation parties in the area, a mandate which naturally fell on the shoulders of WWF Japan with regard to nature conservation activities concerning the Nansei Islands. This marked the beginning of the Nansei Islands initiative of WWF Japan, and ever since, WWF Japan has not only consistently performed globally-relevant environmental studies of particular areas within the Nansei Islands during the 1980’s and 1990’s, but has put pressure on the national and local governments to use the findings of those studies in public policy. Unfortunately, like many other places throughout the world, the deterioration of the natural environments in the Nansei Islands has yet to stop.

    島根大学地球資源環境学研究報告 30, 65～72 ページ（2011 年 12 月） Geoscience Rept. Shimane Univ., 30, p.65～72（2011） Article Geochemical composition of beach sands from Tottori Prefecture, Japan Bah Mamadou Lamine Malick＊, Erika Sano＊ and Hiroaki Ishiga＊ Abstract Fifteen sand samples were collected from ten beaches along the shoreline of Tottori Prefecture to determine their geochemical compositions, using X-ray fluorescence analysis. Two main river systems (Tenjin and Sendai Rivers) supply sediments to the shoreline from the Chūgoku Mountains. Beach parameters, such as the radius of the approximated circle and radian (ℓ/r), were used to describe beach forms: ℓ/R < 1 describes a short and concave pocket beach. Sands from the eight beaches investigated in the area contained more than 70 wt% SiO2, and are predominantly composed of quartz and feldspar. This was reflected in their geochemical compositions, with significant SiO2, Al2O3 and Na2O contents of the beach sand samples further indicating that quartz and feldspar are the main constituents. Detritus was derived from quartz-rich sources, and quartz dilution strongly influences the bulk chemistry of the beach sands. Positive correlation of most elements with Al2O3 and negative correlation with SiO2 suggests quartz dilution is the main control on chemistry. The sediments were derived from relatively felsic source rocks. Key words: Chūgoku Mountains, Tottori Prefecture, beach sand, geochemistry, quartz, feldspar area is thus needed. Introduction The purpose of this study is to describe the geochemical The compositions of coastal sediments are influenced by compositions of fifteen beach sand samples collected from numerous components and processes, including source ten sites along the shoreline of Tottori Prefecture in the area composition, sorting, climate, relief, long shore drift, and where the Sendai and Tenjin Rivers supply sediments.

  • Mapping Small Islands Communicative Ecologies: a Case Study from the Amami Islands
    South Pacific Studies Vol.39, No.1, 2018 Mapping Small Islands Communicative Ecologies: a Case Study from the Amami Islands Papoutsaki Evangelia 1* and Kuwahara Sueo2 1: School of Arts and Science, University of Central Asia, Naryn Campus, 310 Lenin St. Naryn, 722918, Kyrgyz Republic 2: Center for General Education, Kagoshima University *Corresponding author E-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper provides a conceptual framework for an islands’ communication ecology (CE) approach and an overview of the key findings of exploratory ethnographic research that aimed at mapping the CE of the Amami islands. The communicative ecology approach refers to the various forms, resources, activities, channels and flows of communication and information unique to an island or group of islands, to the island context and identity and a milieu of island agents. This research contributes towards an in-depth understanding of these Islands’ communicative environment; identifies key island mediated communicative networks and practices; explores the role of media in localized information flows unique to the islands; and attempts to explore how small island experiences can help contextualize the theoretical approach of communicative ecology. Key words: Amami Island, Island Media, Island Radio, Islands Communicative Ecology, Mapping Islands Information Ecosystems ―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Received: 01 September, 2018 Accepted: 30 November, 2018 26 South Pacific Studies Vol.39, No.1, 2018 Introduction This article draws upon a research project aimed at exploring the Amami Islands’ communicative environment by identifying key communicative networks and practices that contribute to sustaining the Amami Islands’ sociocultural cohesion and investigating the role that key mediated forms of communication, particularly community based, play in localized information flows unique to these islands.
