Kagoshima Univ. Res. Center S. Pac. Vol.6, No. 1, 1985 37 Agricultural Environment of the Back Land of Nagura Bay, Okinawa Prefecture* Tadao C. Katayama**, Akio Shinagawa*** and Teruo Higashi*** Abstract The agricultural environment of the back land of Nagura Bay, Ishigaki Island, Okinawa Prefecture, /'. e., upland factors and cropping systems were discussed on the basis of references and observation in the area. There is a rapid consumption and a high turnover rate for organic matter, nutrients, minerals. To improve soil preserva tion, it is recommended utilization of natural topographical features and plants is more suitable than building artificial structures. Plants with a tap root and deep-rooted trees are good examples of natural stabilization structures. In comparison to the agricultural practices dominated by hand labor and small machines, procedures utilizing large machines are disadvantageous, because they increase the amount of times the land remains bare and they reduce the necessary elasticity in farm practices. It is recom mended to increase the agricultural development cautiously to preserve the environ ment and to keep the local population consensus. Introduction Ishigaki Island lies between 124°04'E and 124°20'E longitude and 24°19'N and 24° 36'N latitude (Fig. 1). In general, Ishigaki Island is said to be characteristic of a sub-tropical region. Because of its sub-tropical nature, it has higher temperatures and more abundant solar energy in comparison with Japan proper.

  • Effects of Constructing a New Airport on Ishigaki Island
    Island Sustainability II 181 Effects of constructing a new airport on Ishigaki Island Y. Maeno1, H. Gotoh1, M. Takezawa1 & T. Satoh2 1Nihon University, Japan 2Nihon Harbor Consultants Ltd., Japan Abstract Okinawa Prefecture marked the 40th anniversary of its reversion to Japanese sovereignty from US control in 2012. Such isolated islands are almost under the environment separated by the mainland and the sea, so that they have the economic differences from the mainland and some policies for being active isolated islands are taken. It is necessary to promote economical measures in order to increase the prosperity of isolated islands through initiatives involving tourism, fisheries, manufacturing, etc. In this study, Ishigaki Island was considered as an example of such an isolated island. Ishigaki Island is located to the west of the main islands of Okinawa and the second-largest island of the Yaeyama Island group. Ishigaki Island falls under the jurisdiction of Okinawa Prefecture, Japan’s southernmost prefecture, which is situated approximately half-way between Kyushu and Taiwan. Both islands belong to the Ryukyu Archipelago, which consists of more than 100 islands extending over an area of 1,000 km from Kyushu (the southwesternmost of Japan’s four main islands) to Taiwan in the south. Located between China and mainland Japan, Ishigaki Island has been culturally influenced by both countries. Much of the island and the surrounding ocean are protected as part of Iriomote-Ishigaki National Park. Ishigaki Airport, built in 1943, is the largest airport in the Yaeyama Island group. The runway and air security facilities were improved in accordance with passenger demand for larger aircraft, and the airport became a tentative jet airport in May 1979.

  • 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.

Tanedori of Taketomi Island: Intergenerational Transmission of Intangible Heritage. Goya Junko Research Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Nagoya University ABSTRACT This paper examines performing arts as Intangible Cultural Properties, and considers their transmission, focusing on the case of Tanedori of Taketomi Island (hereafter Tanedori) one of the Important Intangible Folk- cultural Properties of Taketomi-cho in Okinawa Prefecture. In particular, it focuses on the importance of the mutual relationship between local communities and schools. Tanedori refers to the ritual of planting rice or millet.

    JAPAN OKINAWA THE NEW HAWAII ©Alessandro Gandolfi Island of Kouri, tourists going down to the beach known as Heart Rocks. The number of tourists visiting Okinawa surpassed the number of tourists visiting Hawaii The objective is to reach 12 million visitors in the next few years Okinawa occupies a strategic position at the centre of the Pacific, easily reachable from China, Korea, and Taiwan What attracts tourists are the archipelago’s beauties as well as the huge number of low-cost flights The majority of tourists are Japanese, who see Okinawa as an exotic location with its own language and traditions Naha, a guide inside one of the rooms of Shuri Castle, the residence of the kings and the religious centre of the Ryūkyū Kingdom.

Cape Hedo, a surfer on a beach along the northernmost promontory of the island. How the islands of Okinawa are becoming the queen of the Pacific They are already calling it “the new Hawaii”: Okinawa, the tropical paradise for vacationing Japanese, the group of islands that, reaching almost 10 million tourists in 2019, in terms of visitors has surpassed the American archipelago. But the objective – after the covid pandemic – is even more ambitious: Okinawa wants to become the uncontested queen of the Pacific. Famous for the 1945 battle of the same name, Okinawa is also famous for being a so-called “blue zone”, an area with a particularly long-lived population.

  • The Irabu Language and Its Speakers
    Chapter 1 The Irabu language and its speakers This chapter introduces the language described in this grammar, Irabu Ryukyuan (henceforth Irabu). The chapter gives information about the ge- nealogical and geographical affi liations of the language together with the settlement and political history of the Rykukus. This chapter also addresses the sociolinguistic situation, literature review, and a brief sketch of import- ant features of phonology and grammar, with a particular focus on typolog- ical characteristics. 1.1. Geography Irabu is spoken on Irabu, which is one of the Sakishima Islands within the Ryukyu archipelago, an island chain situated in the extreme south of the Japan archipelago. Amami Islands Sakishima Islands Mainland Okinawa Ryukyu archipelago MAP 1 The Ryukyu archipelago The Sakishima Islands consist of two groups: the Miyako Islands and the Yaeyama Islands. Irabu is the second largest island in the Miyako Islands (MAP 2). 2 Chapter 1 Ikema Island Ogami Island Irabu Island Miyako Shimoji Island Island Tarama Island Kurima Island 5km 5mi MAP 2 The location of Irabu within the Miyako Islands1 Next to Irabu lies Shimoji, which has no permanent inhabitants and there is a very large airfi eld for training pilots and a small residential area of these pilots and associated people, surrounded by scattered fi elds of local people living in Irabu. However, this island used to be inhabited by lrabu people, and was called macїnaka [matsnaka] ‘in-the-woods’. The previous importance of this island as a living place is evidenced in the fact that it is the setting of a lot of stories and legends (see Appendix (1)).
