  • Cruise Tourism and Social Change in Aneityum, Southern Vanuatu
    People and Culture in Oceania, 35: 85-108, 2019 From Kastom to Developing Livelihood: Cruise Tourism and Social Change in Aneityum, Southern Vanuatu Eijiro Fukui* The purpose of this paper is to consider the social impact of tourism using data from fieldwork in Aneityum Island, southern Vanuatu. Previous research has discussed tourism in Oceania from the perspective of “sustainable development.” This series of discussions was very relevant to those on “glocalization,” in which expanding Westernization or globalization is reinterpreted by local people. However, we must bear in mind that the impacts of tourism on small societies cannot easily be localized and reinterpreted. The social impact of tourism is changing people’s notion of tradition (kastom in Melanesian pidgin). In anthropology in Japan, unlike in Europe and America, it has been argued that kastom and skul (the Western element) cannot be syncretized, but coexist. In light of this, Melanesian societies have been referred to as “bicultural,” and “immutability” has been viewed as the characteristic of kastom. However, with the influx of cash to islanders working in tourism, life on Aneityum is changing dramatically. The islanders themselves understand that their livelihood (numu) is not as it was before, but do not know whose lives they are currently living. Therefore, it is dangerous to unilaterally judge these situations as good examples of glocalization or “developing tradition.” Instead, we must accurately assess the social impact of tourism. Keywords: tourism, kastom, Vanuatu, Aneityum, livelihood, social change, cruise ship, anonymity 1. Introduction For almost 20 years, I have been researching Aneityum, the southernmost island of Vanuatu, and each time I visit the island, I am asked how much the airfare from Japan costs.

  • Status of Coral Reef and Reef Fish Resources of Vanuatu
    Status of coral reef and reef fish resources of Vanuatu William Naviti James Aston Introduction to Vanuatu Vanuatu is an archipelago of over 80 islands stretching 1300 kilometres from north to south in the Western Pacific Ocean. The islands include both igneous formations and limestone derived from 2 uplifted fringing coral reefs (Preston, 1996). The combined land area is 12 190 km • The maritime exclusive economic zone covers 680 OOO km2• Vanuatu 's population, 79% of which live along the coast, is experiencing rapid growth, at least 2.8 % annually, according to the 1989 Consensus (Statistics Office, 1994). Of the estimated 177 400 people, 44 300 live in the two urban areas of Port Vila and Luganville (Statistics Office, 1997:2). Almost 80% of the population live on 7 islands: Efate, Santo, Luganville, Tanna, Malekula, Pentecost, Ambae and Ambrym. Over 70% of the population live on their traditional lands, growing food crops and har­ vesting forest and marine resources for local cash needs, personal consumption, exchange and gifting (Government of the Republic of Vanuatu, 1999b). Over 110 languages were in use in 1989 (Statistics Office, 1997). Status of coral reefs and other benthos and biodiversity Coral Reefs The coral reefs of Vanuatu contribute to rural incomes, nutrition, shoreline protection and, more importantly, self reliance for the people of Vanuatu, particularly coastal communities. However, there are relatively few extensive shallow water reefs surrounding the 80 high islands in the Vanuatu archipelago. Inner reef areas are limited to narrow fringing reefs and reef platforms surrounding islands and a few lagoons and barrier reefs, totalling an area of approximately 408 km2 (Bell & Amos, J993).

  • Coral Reefs of the New Hebrides, Melanesia, with Particular Reference to Open-Sea, Not Fringing, Reefs
    Proceedings o f the Second International Coral R eef Symposium 2. Great Barrier Reef Committee, Brisbane, December 1974 CORAL REEFS OF THE NEW HEBRIDES, MELANESIA, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO OPEN-SEA, NOT FRINGING, REEFS Andrei Guilcher Université of Western Brittany, B.P. 860, 29279, Brest, France SUMMARY The New Hebrides island arc is divided into two island chains and an inter-arc basin, preceded by a deep trench on the western side of the structure. This location of the trench means a reversed polarity of the system, the normal polarity including, in the western Pacific, a trench on the eastern side. The polarity was probably normal before the mid-Miocene, and reversed later on. The reversal was accompanied by a migration of the volcanic activity from the western island chain to the eastern chain, where it is now found. Tectonic disturbance continues to be active in the New Hebrides. On the islands bearing the first generation of volcanoes, as Erromango, Efate, Malekula and Santo, raised terraces of Plio-Pleistocene reef limestones are beautifully exposed. In places, as at Efate, several sets of coral terraces are found; they may result either from a general uplift associated with alternations of transgressions and regressions, or from faulting. The terraces m ay have remained horizontal or have been tilted. The lowest terrace lying at 4 metres in Erromango Island around Cook Bay may be related to the last interglacial high sea-level. All these old reefs are fringing reefs, and grew either around volcanoes or around previously raised fringing reefs. Present-day fringing reefs, often accompanied by sand cays, exist around all these islands, one of the finest being at^Aneitvum., Two reefs, however, belong to another type.

  • The 'Vanuatu Housing Design Guide'
    Zafir Ameen Vanuatu Housing Design Guide 1-2 Sentence Explanation: The ‘Vanuatu Housing Design Guide’ collates a broad range of research, design process and guidance for anyone wishing to construct a sustainable, and resilient, home. Its core principle is accessibility, ensuring the resources and construction methods are available to everyone. Longer (200-300 Word) Description: The Design Guide outlines a new approach to housing in the South Pacific, with specific reference to Vanuatu. The document is broken down into various sections: research, design process, guidance, and exemplary projects. Thus, the guide provides utility to a wide range of audiences, such as governments, architectural professionals and local people. With the ever-increasing frequency and destruction of natural disasters, a new system is urgently required to create resilient homes in the South Pacific. Rammed earth provides the solution, as it is uniquely aligned to face the many challenges in Vanuatu. Its low cost and high availability ensures it can be widely adopted by everyone. It is a low-tech and easily replicable solution, allowing the local community to independently construct housing without international aid. Flexibility is key, ensuring one house design is not imposed and carbon-copied throughout the island. Accounting for individual difference, various financial situations and site-specific constraints, this document serves as an open guide that can be adopted, and adapted, in all situations. The principles remain constant, yet each design will be tailored
