Research Project Sites 1 Message from the Director-General The Research Institute for Humanity and Nature (RIHN) was established in April 2001 to conduct integrated research in the field of global environmental studies. In 2004, RIHN became one of the original members of the National Institutes for the Humanities (NIHU), as an Inter-University Research Institute Corporation. Environmental degradation can be understood as an imbalance in interactions between human beings and natural systems. Our mission is therefore to conduct solution-oriented research aimed at exploring how interactions between humanity and nature ought to be. RIHN conducts interdisciplinary research spanning the natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences, and transdisciplinary research, collaborating with various stakeholders in society. Fiscal year 2016 marks the beginning of our Phase III Medium-Term Plan. We launched a new set of Research Programs, a Core Program, and the RIHN Center in order to organically integrate and support the Research Programs. With a new structure in place, we are determined to pursue our mission even more vigorously through enhanced col- laboration within our institute, across our diverse research community, and with society in general. As part of RIHN’s international activities, RIHN is keeping the Asian Regional Centre for Future Earth, which is expected to promote the overall research and capacity buildings of Future Earth in Asia. This annual report describes the updated outcome of these activities of RIHN for the FY2016. I do hope this annual report will help you to understand the overall activity within the FY2016.

For the purposes of this project, a “small-scale economy” is defined not solely on the basis of the absolute size of the economic unit, but rather in terms of the relative scale of food production within a given socioeconomic context. Our definition of small-scale economy addresses the range of local or regional networks that enable production, circulation and consumption without precluding links to the outside economy. Long-term sustainability can be defined as “the capacity of humans to create, test out, and maintain abilities to adapt to environments” over a span of several hundred to several thousand years. Our working hypothesis was as follows: Highly specialized subsistence (i.e., food production) strategies can support a larger community for a short period, but a decrease in subsistence and food diversity makes the production system and its associated community more vulnerable in the long-run. Archaeological and paleoenvironmental studies are used to test this hypothesis, or to examine the long- term impacts of the loss of subsistence/food diversity in relation to other environmental and cultural factors. To link these studies with the current discussion of the scale and methods of alternative food systems, ethnographic and ecological studies of contemporary small-scale food systems and communities were conducted. In combination, studies of the past and present point towards the future, as our research process also involves informing the collaborative design of ecologically sound and equitable food systems. The theoretical genesis of this project is the approach of historical ecology, which conducts comprehensive research into long-term and short-term cultural change while emphasizing the impact of human activities on the environment. In particular, this project proposes that high levels of diversity, network and local autonomy, all of which are strongly correlated with the scale of the system, are the keys to achieving the long-term sustainability of socioeconomic systems. By integrating case studies on food diversity, the mobility of people, goods and information and the initiatives of local stakeholders in relation to the scale and resilience of societies and economies, this study aims to advance theories on the interrelationship between culture and environment, including climate change. Other cultural factors, including technological developments, sociopolitical structure and rituals/ religion, are also taken into consideration. We are publishing the results of

  • Preliminary Survey on the Tetori Group in Southern Ishikawa, Japan 石川
    石川県立自然史資料館研究報告 第３号 Bulletin of the Ishikawa Museum of Natural History, 3: 49-62 (2013) Preliminary survey on the Tetori Group in southern Ishikawa, Japan Yoshihiro KATSURA 石川県南部に分布する手取層群に対する予備調査 桂嘉志浩 Abstract The Lower Cretaceous Itoshiro and overlying Akaiwa subgroups of the Tetori Group are distributed in the Shiramine Area of Hakusan City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. The Kuwajima Formation, the upper division of the lower subgroup, is considered to have been deposited under lacustrine and associated alluvial environments. It has yielded a reasonable number of vertebrate remains that are small, allochthonous, and mostly disarticulated. The Akaiwa Formation, the lower division of the upper subgroup, is suggested to have been formed by fluvial systems with strong currents and rapid deposition. Except for plant fragments, fossils are uncommon. Vertebrates, including dinosaurs, occur in the Kitadani Formation, the upper division of the upper subgroup, in northeastern Fukui Prefecture, and this formation crops out in the Shiramine Area. Therefore, there is a chance that articulated large vertebrate fossils are preserved in the subgroups exposed in the area. However, the indurated nature of the rocks, precipitous topology, thick vegetation cover, and overall poor exposures represent significant challenges to making such a discovery. Further, based on the taphonomy of the observed vertebrates, finding well-preserved large vertebrates in the area will be difficult and require much time and financial support.

  • Over Twenty Years Trend of Chloride Ion Concentration in Lake Biwa
    Papers from Bolsena Conference (2002). Residence time in lakes:Science, Management, Education J. Limnol., 62(Suppl. 1): 42-48, 2003 Over twenty years trend of chloride ion concentration in Lake Biwa Yasuaki AOTA*, Michio KUMAGAI1) and Kanako ISHIKAWA2) Institute of Nature and Environmental Technology, Kanazawa University, Kakuma, Kanazawa 920-1192, Japan 1)Lake Biwa Research Institute, Uchidehama, Otsu, Shiga 520-0806, Japan 2)Division of Applied Biosciences, Graduate School of Agriculture, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606-8502, Japan *e-mail corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Recent increase of chloride ion concentration in Lake Biwa was considered. Over the past 20 years' data at the North Basin of Lake Biwa showed that chloride ion concentration has been continuously increasing from 7.4 to 9.9 mg l-1 at 0.5 m depth from lake surface and from 7.3 to 9.9 mg l-1 above the bottom (depth of over 80 m from lake surface). This low level salinity indicated, how- ever, about 35% increase through 20 years. In this paper, we reported the trend and the tendency of chloride ion concentration at some locations and the change of climatic data through 20 years in Lake Biwa. In a short period within one year, chloride ion con- centration clearly fluctuated in the upper water layer. This fluctuation was mostly influenced by precipitation. Similar trend of chlo- ride ion concentration could be seen in the South Basin of Lake Biwa with much higher concentration than that in the North Basin. We also discussed the long-term changes of chloride concentrations in 5 major rivers with large catchment area, water level and precipitation.
